New groom Flores, an entrepreneur and business owner, sported a navy suit, which he accessorized with a brown belt and matching shoes and a polka dot pocket square.
Following wedding tradition, the newlyweds added some extra sweetness to their special day with a white, rose-adorned, multi-tiered cake, which Mercado adorably smashed into Flores’ face.
More than a week after saying “I do,” Mercado shared an Instagram photo of the couple, which was captured during their Vegas nuptials, and spoke about being willing to love again.
“VEGAS nights with my ?? Have enough courage to trust love one more time and always one more time #Vegas #latinos #relationship #faith,” she captioned the Feb. 17 snap.
