Aisha Wiggins, a model, and Romain Reglade, a fashion photographer, embarked on a journey of love that spanned several countries before culminating in a stunning wedding. Their initial encounters, born from mutual friends, evolved into serendipitous meetings in picturesque locales like Greece, the Mexican Riviera, and the French Alps. These chance encounters solidified their bond over the years, leading Romain to propose to Aisha on Gouverneur Beach in St. Barths, a place that held special significance for them after being marooned there during the pandemic. Their love story, which also blossomed into a professional partnership with the establishment of RR Creative Agency, showcased their shared passion for creativity and travel.
Their wedding, held a year later in December 2025 at Las Alamandas in Mexico, was a profound celebration of their connection to the country and its vibrant heritage. This private estate, discovered during a trip to Costalegre, provided the perfect backdrop for their dream wedding, which they meticulously planned in just eight weeks. The couple's vision was to immerse their guests in Mexican artisanal crafts and traditions. They sourced hand-painted wooden alebrijes from Oaxaca, ceramic caballitos, and terracotta ornaments from Tonalá. For their reception, blue piñas vidriadas from Michoacán adorned the tables, and personalized coasters embroidered by Gustavo Orozco showcased Tlaquepaque textiles, all thoughtfully chosen to share Mexico's rich artistic legacy.
The ceremony and festivities were steeped in cultural authenticity and personal touches. Aisha's wedding attire, including a Katy Corso lace gown with Mexican cultural influences and a bespoke orange taffeta dress by Nelly Guinand, beautifully complemented Romain's Ralph Lauren silk jacket and linen suit. The church ceremony in Parroquia del Señor San José featured Romain’s cousins singing and a Mexican lazo tradition, symbolizing an eternal union. Post-ceremony, the couple made a grand entrance at Las Alamandas, first in a classic Mexican Volkswagen, “el vocho,” then on horseback, a nod to Romain’s equestrian background. The celebration continued with mariachi music from Jalisco, traditional folk dances, and a surprise first dance, El Jarabe Tapatío, learned just days before. The evening concluded with decorative tin star lanterns and illuminated alebrijes, guiding guests to extended dancing and merriment.
This wedding served as a magnificent testament to the power of love, creativity, and cultural appreciation. It beautifully illustrates how a couple's shared journey and respect for diverse traditions can create an event that is not only deeply personal but also vibrantly engaging for all who partake. The meticulous attention to detail, from custom-made decor to traditional dances, truly brought the spirit of Mexico to life, fostering an atmosphere of joy, unity, and unforgettable memories.
