Returning to Cuba for Their Wedding: This Couple’s Decision

For Itzel and Randy, returning to Cuba for their wedding was both an emotional and a natural decision. His mother is here, everything started here, and Havana is still their home, even if life has taken them far away.

A quiet morning at Hotel El Candil

Itzel got ready at El Candil, a boutique hotel where several Aire de Fiesta brides have spent the first hours of their wedding day. An intimate, elegant space, perfect for starting the day calmly.

Itzel's entrance with her father

With a beaming smile and her eyes fixed on the altar, Itzel walked arm in arm with her father. It was a moment filled with tenderness, nerves, and connection.

Under a white floral archway and with the city always in the background, the couple sealed their ceremony with a kiss. 

The trending reel that captured photos that wouldn’t exist otherwise

Part of the reel was filmed during the rehearsal, the day before. Itzel and Randy wanted to do their version of a trend they had seen: filming in the same spot wearing regular clothes and later in their wedding outfits.

As dancers, they gave it their own twist—literally. The next day, dressed up and just after the ceremony, they repeated the shot in front of the altar with a ballet-style transition. With a spin, they appeared transformed. Thanks to that reel, those photos now exist—dancer-like poses at the altar that wouldn’t have happened otherwise.

A moment just for them

Right after the ceremony, Itzel and Randy stayed alone in front of the altar to read their vows in private. No witnesses—just the two of them, the camera, and Havana in the background.

 

The decor, even more stunning at night

If the decor already charmed us during the day, at night it was even more spectacular. Warm lights, hanging lanterns, and greenery lit from below completely transformed the space. 

 

Light, embraces, and the first dance

The dance floor, adorned with white floral designs, was inaugurated with heartfelt embraces under a warm, glowing light. It was the perfect start to a celebration filled with emotion and beauty.

 

The garter moment, Itzel and Randy’s version

The entire sequence was a show. Randy danced in front of Itzel while she laughed nonstop. He made her sit down, kept up the rhythm with full energy, and after several tries —more stylish than rushed—, he finally managed to remove the garter.

 

A fun scene that broke every protocol. And as if that wasn’t enough, the person who caught it had their own moment: a dancer’s leap that drew loud applause.

Second look: ready for the dance floor

We loved Itzel’s styling. Without losing her bridal essence, she changed into a pantsuit that made her own the dance floor. Comfortable, confident, and ready to dance like only she can.
