love at first sight
Lexie spotted Luke in the law school library her first semester of law school It was love at first sight for her. Unfortunately, a few weeks later, the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the world. It took Lexie several months to work up a plan to meet Luke. When law school switched back to in-person classes, Lexie threw a back-to-school party and invited Luke. The rest is history. Luke proposed in March 2023. He surprised Lexie with a private, candle-lit dinner in the garden of one of their favorite restaurants—Tiny Boxwoods in Houston, TX.
a special destination
Lexie’s family has vacationed in Cabo San Lucas since she was a little girl. For years, every vacation was spent in Cabo. The Ammons Family loved Cabo so much, that they bought a second home in Villas del Mar in San Jose del Cabo. As soon as Luke and Lexie started dating, Luke joined Lexie’s family on all the trips to Cabo. Luke and Lexie’s favorite spot has always been Querencia, so when it came time to choose a wedding venue, it only made sense to do it there!
a timeless and romantic design
We wanted something timeless and romantic. We looked at photos on Instagram, Pinterest, and Etsy. With the help of Claudia and Pamela of Amy Abbott Events (our amazing wedding planners), we were able to make the vision come to life. We went with a white and green color scheme. Plus, the venue is beautiful with many colorful plants and trees. We wanted to complement the beauty of the venue and not compete with it.
a warm welcome
At the welcome party the night before the wedding, We gave all the guests “welcome bags” which contained a snack from Luke’s home state (Illinois, Garrett’s Popcorn), a snack from Lexie’s home state (Texas pralines), two lottery tickets in a bag that said “for richer or for poorer but hopefully for richer,” Lexie’s favorite candies (sour patch kids and watermelons), Luke’s favorite snack (goldfish), and a wedding newspaper entitled the Newlywed Times that shared information about Luke and Lexie’s love story, the bridal party, the events of the weekend and crossword puzzle.
getting ready
Lexi and her bridesmaids lounged in satin pajamas and robes in the bridal suite as they prepped for the big day. After finishing with her hair and makeup (natural waves and a clean sunkissed face), she slipped into a romantic tulle ballgown with a lace corset by Mira Zwillinger. A flowing chapel-length veil with lace details trailed behind her as she made her way down the aisle.
the biggest splurge: the flowers
The flowers were our biggest splurge–worth it! Especially the flowers above the head table and the stage. The flowers tied together the entire wedding design.
live painting during the ceremony
Hiring a live artist for your wedding is a great idea for so many reasons. Not only does a painting capture the essence of the moment, sometimes better than a photograph, but it also doubles as entertainment for you and your guests.

an explosive finale to the perfect night
One of my favorite moments was right after we cut the cake and the fireworks erupted. In the midst of 140 of our closest family and friends behind us, for those few minutes as Lexie and I hugged and danced, it felt like all the outside noise stopped and it was just the two of us.
