It All Started When...

Our Story

Karim and Catherine met in 2015 in Toronto while Catherine was visiting from B.C..  Catherine was living in Northern British Columbia and Karim was living in Toronto back then. Karim had to take three different planes from Toronto to British Columbia just to show his pure intention to Catherine.  The two were in a long-distance relationship for almost two years. In December 2016, Catherine moved in Toronto to be with Karim and they were engaged on Catherine’s birthday in 2017 at Trump Hotel.  Since then, Karim and Catherine have been sharing their lives together and have become inseparable. These two lovebirds have been through ups and downs in life but they are very grateful, filled with joy, happiness, lots of hugs and kisses along with travel adventures and have been enjoying each other’s company the way God intended it. They would love for you to attend and share this memorable moment with them as they exchange vows on their wedding day.

Love, Karim & Catherine

Varadero, Cuba

Home to pristine shores, swaying palm trees and world-class resorts, Varadero is one of the Caribbean’s most famous beach destinations. The area is home to one of the world’s most famous stretches of sand, Varadero Beach, where vacationers can lay down their beach towel and soak up the sun.

Golf enthusiasts will love teeing off at Varadero Golf Club, offering untouched greens and spectacular ocean views from around the course. Choose from several all inclusive Varadero resorts offering discounts on green fees and inclusive golf packages.

The island’s famous capital city of Havana is just a day trip away, and the historic cities of nearby Trinidad and Santa Clara can be explored on a Sunwing Experiences excursion. After the sun sets over the Caribbean Sea, Varadero comes alive with a host of cabarets, nightclubs and amphitheaters beckoning to be explored – the Cabaret Tropicana is a must for travellers looking to experience the local nightlife.

Melia Internacional

Not your typical Cuba resort, Melia Internacional could become your new favourite Varadero all-inclusive hotel! This beachfront resort will amaze you with its extra-large swimming pool and gastronomic boulevard with a wide range of à la carte restaurants. You can easily see that this modern hotel was built recently, in 2018. The rooms are bright and spacious, some with stunning sea views. To make your Cuba vacation even more unique, check out the perks for The Level or The Level Adults-Only guests. You could enjoy privileges such as concierge service with Level Concierge, a gorgeous pool for adults only and exclusive dining options.

This family resort with an adults-only section is located on Varadero Beach, indisputably the most sought-after white-sand beach in Cuba. This wide and seemingly endless stretch of sand is perfect for long walks. Local attractions are within walking distance such as the Old Tower and downtown Varadero, a must for a taste of Cuban nightlife! And if you wish to relax and unwind, visit YHI Spa for soothing treatments. Located on the 11th floor of the hotel, its breathtaking infinity pool overlooking the Caribbean Sea awaits you. From there, you can admire the best of Varadero while enjoying the best of a Melia hotel!
