A celebration of love that transcends long distances and challenges, the love story of Ron and Sterling will absolutely turn the major cynic into a believer.

The couple had recently tied the knot in beautiful Phuket, wherein they had the most intimate and most private wedding ceremony and dinner by the beautiful, sparkling blue waters and the pristine white sand beach of the famous island.

Originally, the wedding celebration was supposed to be held in Seattle, where Sterling lived. But since Ron lived in Virginia (the opposite ends of the US), they found it tasking to coordinate the details of their wedding, such as their suits, the colors, the venue, the food, traveling details, and all the other essentials for their city wedding.

They then decided to have their wedding somewhere else, and this is when Ron sent Sterling a YouTube video of Pure Bliss weddings. They contacted the wedding organizer and Nanya – head wedding organizer, got back to them immediately. They discussed the details of their dream wedding, including being on a tight budget but still be able to turn their dream intimate wedding into a reality.

Nanya and the team behind Pure Bliss were able to find the perfect venue with a private beach, and the destination wedding started to come to place.

On their beautiful wedding day, Ron and Sterling had their hair and make-up done by a professional hair and makeup stylist, had their J.Crew suits on, and walked hand in hand towards a simple canopy where their officiator was waiting to begin the ceremony.

The team at Pure Bliss set up a dinner for two with the couple’s very own private chef and servers, and one surprise made everything come together. Sterling’s favorite animal is the elephant, and once the ceremony was done, a baby elephant arrived, to the surprise and amusement of the handsome couple.

Weddings need not be grand or traditional at all times. Sometimes, the simplest and most intimate ceremonies and celebrations are more than enough to celebrate the union of two people deeply in love.
