A Destination Wedding at Grand Velas Los Cabos with a Soft and Romantic Ambiance
Gabriella and Matan Paret are a Hinge dating app success story, which unfolded like a modern day rom-com.
“From the moment I saw her eating a delicious slice of pizza as her profile picture on Hinge,” Matan states, “I was immediately drawn to Gaby. When she told me she had Grimaldi’s delivered to her at a club in Vegas, I knew I had to meet this girl.”
For Gaby, Matan’s love of food, restaurants, and travel were added bonuses to his charm. The couple’s first date took place on a rainy Monday night and included a hilarious mashup of scratch lotto tickets, food truck tacos, a swanky speakeasy, and a first kiss.
“This man didn’t just sweep me off my feet; he practically mopped the floor with me.”
“This man didn’t just sweep me off my feet,” she shares, “he practically mopped the floor with me.”
“Drinks at a bar, tacos at a taco truck, and more drinks turned a rainy Monday into one of the best nights of my life,” Matan adds.
“I knew right away that this amazing woman in front of me was the person I hoped to end up with – she was funny, ambitious, loved her family fiercely, and loved food as much as me (which is saying something)! After that date, I was just constantly hoping and praying that she felt the same way.”
Gaby did, in fact, feel the same way; and she said “yes” on two special occasions. The first, being when Matan asked her to be his girlfriend at Sushi Fumi. The second, was when he proposed at the top of a castle, overlooking Mexico City.

When it came time to plan their big day, Gaby and Matan decided to host a destination wedding at Grand Velas Los Cabos in Mexico.
“Lynette and her team knew exactly which vendors and what was needed to make our romantic, soft, fun, beautiful wedding of our dreams come true,” says Gaby. “Velas [Resorts] and Andres specifically was dedicated to making it happen.”
Surrounded by the exquisitely rugged setting of Mexico’s coastline, the bride and groom celebrated their nuptials amid a soft and romantic ambiance of lush florals, pops of pink, and Mexican influences.
As the couple shares, “It was the best weekend of our lives – happiest, most special feeling ever.”
To cap off an incredible Velas wedding experience, the newlyweds chose South Africa as their honeymoon destination.
