As a little girl Liz’s grandma used to tell her a story about a Spanish cowboy named “Cristobal”.  As Liz grew into a beautiful woman she always hoped she would find her own Cristobal; a cowboy that would whisk her away and make her dreams come true.  And she did!

In March, a very excited Michael called me and told me that he wanted to make Liz’s childhood fantasy a reality.  He explained that he was going to take her on a trip to Mexico and there he would like to ride up to her on a horse and whisk her away to another proposal location where he would ask Liz to be his wife.  There was only one big problem.  Michael called a few places in Playa Del Carmen and was told that it was illegal to ride horses on most beaches in Mexico.  Due to a combination of his very busy schedule and the language barrier problems he was having, Michael decided he needed some help.  That is where The Heart Bandits came in.

We assured Michael that we would find a place where he could pull off her dream proposal, and we did.  With the help of Punta Venado Resort, we were able to give Liz the proposal of a lifetime.  Michael left a note for Liz while she was in the shower instructing her to get dressed and go out to the front lobby to catch her ride.  She was taken to Punta Venado Resort and was given another note saying that she would need to take a ride on an ATV and once she reached her destination she should look off to the North.  Michael came galloping from the North and approached Liz  on a beautiful horse.  He picked her up and rode to a palm tree that we had decorated with a blanket, tiki torches, flowers, and champagne.  Here is where he proposed.   With the help of Fusion Photography, we were able to capture the beautiful moment on film.  Check out the pictures and tell me it doesn’t bring a tear to your eye!  Que Rico!  Congrats Michael and Liz!
