Meghan and Trevor booked out the whole hotel for the ceremony after planning what a source called “a boozy beach wedding with a magical backdrop…an epic weekend under the sun and stars.”

The wedding weekend had a steady stream of events including beach yoga, a wheelbarrow race, tug-of-war and drinking games including ‘beer pin-pong.’

For the sunset ceremony, Meghan entered to the sound of steel drums before Cat Power’s song Sea of Love played.
