LaToya and Emanuel celebrated their love in a trip full of memories for their anticipated wedding day.
Rather than have an evening-long reception, Latoya and Emanuel brought 133 of their favorite people to the paradise of Punta Cana to kick off wedding celebrations. When their big day finally came, the couple danced the night away in the romantic ballroom of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana, the perfect spot to begin happily ever after.
