We actually met before we were ever meant to be together. We crossed paths through mutual friends, and while nothing came from it at the time, neither of us knew that wouldn’t be the last time.
HOW IT ALL BEGAN
Every love story starts somewhere
HOW
IT ALL
BEGAN
Two years later, we somehow found ourselves in each other’s lives again — except this time, everything felt different. We had both grown, life had changed us, and we were in a much better place to recognize what was right in front of us. Looking back now, we truly believe God knew we weren’t ready the first time. He just needed a little time to prepare us for each other. Since then, we’ve grown from two people who happened to cross paths twice into best friends and partners who genuinely love doing life together. Through the big moments, the ordinary days, the laughter, the growing pains, and everything in between, we’ve continued choosing each other. Our story didn’t begin with perfect timing — it began with God’s timing. And now we get to start our forever surrounded by the people we love most. 🤍
Share your journey as a couple. Tell guests how you met, your favorite memories together, the proposal story, or anything else that makes your relationship unique. This is your chance to give everyone a glimpse into your story before they celebrate alongside you. Feel free to include the moments, traditions, or little details that make your relationship uniquely yours. We recommend keeping it around this length for the best reading experience, but if you'd like to share more, we can always add a "Read More" button.

Why we Chose
PUNTA CANA
The Dominican Republic has always held a special place in our story, and choosing it as the place where we begin our marriage felt like the perfect fit. It’s filled with life, warmth, beauty, and culture, and we couldn’t imagine a better place to say "I Do".
We know that celebrating with us means traveling far from home, and we wanted to make that journey worth it. We didn’t want our guests to simply come for a wedding — we wanted everyone to have a vacation, experience something new, and make memories of their own along the way. We can’t wait to share everything we love about the Dominican Republic with you — the music, the food, the dancing, the beautiful beaches, the warmth of the people, and that unmistakable Dominican energy.
We've chosen, Lopesan Costa Bávaro Resort an all-inclusive resort in Punta Cana, offering beautiful beaches, exceptional dining, luxurious accommodations, and everything our guests need for an unforgettable wedding getaway.

FAQ
Frequently
Asked
Questions
Are children allowed?
While we love your little ones, our wedding will be adults only!
When should I arrive?
We recommend arriving 1–2 days before the wedding to give yourself plenty of time to settle in, relax, and enjoy a little bit of paradise before the celebrations begin!
Can I stay somewhere other than the wedding resort?
For guests traveling from the U.S., we kindly ask that you stay at our designated resort and book through our room block. This will ensure that transportation to and from our off-site wedding venue is coordinated and taken care of for you.
Can I bring a plus-one?
We are only able to accommodate the guests specifically named on each invitation. If a plus-one is included, their name will be indicated on your invitation. We appreciate your understanding!
What shoes should I wear?
The walkway to the ceremony and the reception area are both on hard flooring, so heels are welcome! Please keep in mind that the ceremony seating itself will be situated in the sand, so we recommend choosing your footwear accordingly.
Can I turn the trip into a longer vacation?
Absolutely — we encourage it! Since you're already traveling to the Dominican Republic, we hope you'll take the opportunity to stay a little longer, relax, explore, and enjoy everything the island has to offer.
Every couple's wedding is different, which means every FAQ section is too. The questions and answers below are placeholders and will be customized with all the details your guests need to know before your big day.
