Joe and Jen had planned on an international wedding in Costa Rica for June 2020. When the COVID-19 Pandemic hit, they had to shift gears and their wedding date. In the first half of the show, Joe and Jen share their story with our host and editor in chief of Destination I Do, Jennifer Stein, about how they were able to overcome multiple obstacles with the help of their wedding planners from Tropical Occasions. They walk us through what their initial reactions were, how they communicated with their guests and how they handled the biggest challenge they faced (which actually had NOTHING to do with pandemic). In the second half of the show, Aimee Monihan, owner and founder of Tropical Occasions, gives us her perspective of what it was like and what was required to reschedule Joe and Jen's wedding. Aimee shares an intimate look at what it's been like as a wedding planner and event designer through the previous year and has some sage advice for couples planning right now. Her and her team have planned over 1300 events worldwide in the over 20 years she's been in business. This uplifting and helpful episode is for anyone planning an international destination wedding right now.
