"Any day spent with you is my favorite day. So, today is my new favorite day."
For us, this wedding is about two families coming together to celebrate love. We want to spend as much time with our families as possible, so why not make it a weekend full of fun? Hence, a destination wedding vacation for us and everyone we love!

RELAX and RECOVER
Friday sounds like a good day to sleep in, eat a big breakfast, enjoy a mimosa or two, and relax by the pool! But that is up to you! We know that this also a vacation for our guests, so come relax with us, or go scuba diving, or go zip lining. Enjoy yourself.
BEACH BONFIRE
8-10pm - beach in front of building 3 - Dress: Casual
Join us for an after dinner beach bonfire. There will be desserts, music, toes in the sand, and the sound of rolling waves. It will be a great way to finish up our first day as a married couple, surrounded by our friends and family on the beach!

GOODBYE COCKTAIL PARTY
5-7 pm - Location: TBA -Dress Beach Chique
This is the last official event of the weekend. We will be saying goodbye and giving thanks to all of our guests who took the time and made the effort to come spend our wedding with us in a whole other country. Don't worry though, we scheduled this event early so that you still have the opportunity to each at another one of the restaurants on site. We will be feeding you a couple bites, but just to hold you over until dinner.

TRAVEL DAY
Lomas Travel will be scheduling a pick up time to take you to the airport. Usually, they plan to pick you up about 3 hours before your flight to make sure that you are on time. Saying that, if you can, try to eat before you leave for the airport. Like any airport, the food is a bit pricey at Cancun International Airport. And the food at Azul Sensatori is MUCH better (and already included).
OUR INFO ON THE RESORT
We searched for months for an ideal location that was both fabulous and affordable. After late nights, stressful phones calls, and some language translations, we decided on the 5-star resort Azul Sensatori, a Karisma Resort in the Riviera Maya, Mexico.
This resort is right on the beach, family friendly, and all inclusive (accommodations, foods, drinks, taxes, transportation to and from Cancun airport, etc.). The only thing it does not include is your airfare.
Because our wedding will be on Thursday afternoon, we ask that our guests arrive, at the latest, on Wednesday, May 4, 2016 (unless you want to come earlier, and you are MORE than welcome).
We hope our guests are able to spend at least 4 nights with us in Mexico, arriving on Wednesday and departing on Sunday, flying into Cancun Airport (CUN). You can take a look at the pricing on our travel booking site. We have reserved a couple different room types, and we give you the option of 3 to 7 nights.
This is not just our wedding; it is a vacation for our guests. It is a time for our families to take that much needed vacation with new friends and old. While we really hope you can make it, we completely understand if it is not a possibility within in your schedule or budget. You will be with us in spirit.
Any questions? Of course you have questions!
