Bora Bora was the scenic location of Jill and Lori’s destination wedding.
“We had a destination wedding in Bora Bora,” shared Lori. “We elected to have a traditional Polynesian wedding, and it was the most amazing experience of our lives! We did get legally married at our church as well, but it was a small family wedding.”
The couple, who resides in California, opted to travel to Bora Bora for their traditional Polynesian wedding which included dancers, musicians, a conch shell ceremony and bright, beautiful flowers everywhere you turned.
“We chose this destination and style of wedding based on our personalities, and what’s important to us,” said Lori. “We appreciate and embrace diversity, so this wedding was perfect for us!”
