In Mexican culture, instead of bridesmaids or groomsmen, we have "padrinos" who play a supportive role by sponsoring parts of the wedding (wedding bands, cake, entertainment, flowers, etc.). If you'd like to help make our wedding day even more special, please let us know what you'd like your gift to go to and we will give you a special shoutout during our reception.

Any contributions to this fund will be saved for emergency expenses or as a down payment for a home once Patricia is done with her PhD.

For when we need a little pick-me-up to get us through a heavy week

To spread out expenses, our honeymoon will occur later on this year. We hope to visit CDMX during the Day of the Dead festivities! Pictured above is a "trajinera," a type of gondola-like boat we hope to ride in Xochimilco (Mexico City).

As a special thank you, the bride will gift you her wedding bouquet (made with love by the bride) during the reception!

To help us relax and recover after a busy (but fun) month of wedding planning

We are obsessed with this compact bench/table for two. Space absolutely matters when you're living in a tiny studio!

Help us make space in our tiny studio with this shoe cabinet :)

Help us make our clothing last longer :)

We've been eyeing this carpet cleaner for a while to help keep our cars and furniture fresh and clean :)

Our current down pillows have lost their cozy fluff after 4 years. :( These pillows will have us feeling as if we were sleeping on a cloud for years to come!

We have yet to find a carwash near us with efficient car vacuums...

Treat Joseph to a haircut and shave the morning of the wedding!

Treat Patricia to both hair and make-up services!

Help us bring our bestie on adventures with us! Pet travel fees are often more expensive than human tickets, but cheaper than dog boarding.

For the many meals we will prepare together! :)

To help us make deep cleaning go faster and have more of our weekend to rest.
