C R I S T I N F I R S T S AW J O H N at the
annual Mistletoe Party at Abacus in
Camana Bay in 2014. Cristin thought
John was cute and a mutual friend intro-
duced the two, who promptly added
each other on Facebook. However,
they had to wait a few weeks before they
could meet again because John flew to
the UK to visit family the following day.
Leading up to the proposal, Cristin
noticed John was stressed and so she
planned a relaxing staycation in Rum
Point for the weekend. Little did she
know, John wasn’t stressed out from
work, but from searching for the perfect
engagement ring with Cristin’s mother.
While in Rum Point, John suggested
they wake up to see the sunrise the
following morning, as watching the
sun rise from the East End is some-
thing Cristin had always wanted to do.
The couple awoke in the wee hours of
the morning and drove to the Wreck of
the Ten Sail lookout point, only to find
cloudy skies. Just when they were about
to give up hope, the sun came piercing
through the clouds, revealing the most
beautiful sunrise. While Cristin was
busy snapping pictures, John unveiled
a bottle of champagne and a picnic
basket that he had hid in the car earlier
that morning. “It’s a bit early to start
day-drinking isn’t it?”, asked Cristin. It
was at this moment that she realized
John may be proposing. Just then, he
pulled her close, dropped down on one
knee, and asked her to be his wife.
Wishing for a tropical glam
wedding that was true to Cayman, laid-
back accents and lots of local greenery
and details were paired with pops of
gold and a soft, neutral color palette.
