They say true love will find you when the timing is right.

Well, that split second of a special moment came in the middle of thousands of people with only hours counting down before they’d be a thousand miles apart. It was beyond fate how Coco Lloyd and Jacob Clifton crossed paths and even more serendipitous how they took their love from across the pond to the dreamy sands of the west coast.

Coco never pictured herself having a wedding or what it would necessarily look like, she just knew having her family there was the only way it would feel complete. After traveling to Laguna Beach a few times and dining at the Ritz Carlton for dinner, they instantly knew that’s where they would start their new lives together. From an impromptu proposal in New York to their timeless and whimsical sun-kissed wedding, this couple’s love is one that was ‘just meant to be.’ We loved working with Coco and Jocob and were so thrilled to get the inside scoop on their fairytale love story and wedding to match!

Where/when did it all start? How did the two of you meet and fall in love?

It was so serendipitous and interesting how we met. I was actually taking a class for my MBA in London and it was my last night there. I was walking around Piccadilly Circus and looked over and saw the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. I decided to go ask her for directions, even though I knew exactly where I was going. We started talking, she asked me out, and we went for breakfast the next morning. We only met for a few hours for one day before I flew back to Boston. We spent a couple of months apart, but still talking every day during that time. We knew we wanted to be in each other’s lives almost immediately. I didn’t want her to fall out of my life, so I made it a priority to keep going back to London. Luckily I worked for a company where I could work 15 days in Boston and then 15 days in London because there was an office there as well.
