Vow Renewal at RIU Playacar | Kristin + John
Kristin and John never really had proper wedding photos when they married at a small church in Indiana, young and fresh out of college. This couple has dedicated their lives to raising their children, admitting to going away together just one other time throughout their entire marriage.
Thus, with the support of their children, they escaped to the Riviera Maya, Mexico to renew their wedding vows and enjoy the honeymoon they never had. The RIU Palace PlayaCar in Playa del Carmen, Mexico provided the perfect setting of elegance and luxury for a couple that truly deserved to pamper themselves.
“Our gift to ourselves for 20 years of selfless parenting…” Kristin professed.
Congratulations on 25 years of shared love Kristin and John!

Beachcasting in Playa del Carmen

Boutique hotels, restaurantes and beach clubs line the shore. Sun loungers stretch along the sand. Masseuses bekon from makeshift massage stands. Ferries shuffle back and forth along the horizon. Playa del Carmen today is quite the cosmopolitan beach escape for tourists from around the globe. But, before PdC was a top tropical, vacation hot spot in what is now referred to as the Riviera Maya, it was nothing more than a small, rustic fishing village.
If you’re lucky you can spot locals amidst the hub bub of the lackadaisical beachcombers, wading into the ocean surf from shore and casting off a fishing line or tossing out a fishing net. Usually, you have more luck catching the local fishermen in the early morning or late afternoon, when most of the tourists have left the beach.
Surf fishing, or onshore fishing, is the sport of catching fish standing on the shoreline or wading in the surf. Surf fishing can include casting a lure or bait from all types of shoreline, including rocky jetties, piers and sandy or rocky beaches. Surfcasting or beachcasting refers more specifically to surf fishing from the beach by casting into the surf at or near the shoreline.
