The pairgot engaged in July 2021and say they wanted a summer wedding that would be both “simple” and “stress free.” With the birth of first child,daughter Summer Moon, in April 2021, they knew they already had the perfect flower girl in waiting.
Shay admits they practiced extensively with Summer, teaching her to throw the petals as she walked, but knew “she would be adorable no matter what.” Davies adds that she loved “being around all her aunties and family.”
Keeping their child entertained also played a major part in choosing their wedding venue. Shay says she saw four locations with her wedding planner before making a decision.
“They had everything I wanted: the glass platform over the pool, a lazy river, a little waterpark,” she explains of the Dreams Natura Resort & Spa. “It was family-friendly and it just felt right. We needed something that would be good for her and also fun for our guests.”

Friends and family from all over the world joined the pair for the nuptials, including some of Davies' relatives from Australia. “I just wanted as much of Brock’s family and friends to be able to be here because, although this is the second marriage for us both, this is his first wedding,” Shay says. “For me it was just really important to make this as special as possible for him and his family.”
Adds Davies, who is excited to share the day with his two sisters Nicole and Eleana: “It’s about sharing this moment with our close friends and family.”
“The fact thatthatmany people came on vacation with us is so cool,” Shay gushes. “I feel like it’s a small wedding in scale, but it’s big for a destination. I want this special moment. Brock deserves this. We deserve this.”
“I’m so glad I have an amazing planner because she’s made this so easy for me,” says Shay. “I gave her my vision and she said, ‘I’ll make it happen.'”

“One of my groomsmen asked about suits and I was like, ‘Lad, we’re getting married in Cancun, you don’t want suits,'” Davies says with a laugh.

Afterward, attendees will take to the roof for a cocktail hour, enjoying a wide selection of drinks and appetizers. Guests will dine on a “surf-and-turf” steak and salmon menu during the reception, with a vegan lasagna also available as an option.
The couple didn’t focus too much on the wedding cake, instead devoting resources to the aspects of the night they felt would be more memorable for their guests. “It’s more for looks than for eating because no one eats the cake,” says Davies about the carrot cake, with Shay adding that it’s “just for cutting.”
The fun doesn’t stop there as the night continues with an after party at an on-site cenote. Shay will change into a short dress from Casablanca Bridal in Newport Beach, Calif., as guests close out the night with tacos and more dancing with help of Kennedy on DJ duties. As Shay points out, “It’s Taco Tuesday!”
The pair don’t have immediate honeymoon plans, but Davies’ catches his new wife off-guard with the news that a surprise tripison the horizon. “It’s booked- think crystal blue waters.”
As Shay notes, “Just being able to have our amazing family and friends here is all we need, and just enjoying being in the moment with each other.”
