A newlywed couple based in Los Angeles is sharing tantalizing travel details of their destination wedding in 2024.
Misaki and Amir Hajimirsadeghi were married this April in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, after knowing each other for 11 years.
The pair, who met while studying at the University of California, got engaged in Dec. 2022 and started debating where they wanted to get married, as SWNS reported.

The couple apparently wanted a wedding where they could have all the people they loved in one place — while also choosing to spend their money “in a smart way.”
With a $100,000 budget, the couple booked the Nobu Hotel in Mexico and invited 75 guests to attend the “vacation” weekend.
