The ceremony will begin promptly @ 4:30 pm on Sunday, February 25th, 2024, in Hacienda Siesta Alegre, PR-186, Río Grande, 00745, Puerto Rico. For the folks staying around San Juan and other neighboring municipalities, we advise you build in about 30-40 extra of buffer time when traveling to the event to allow for unexpected traffic or other hiccups.
The main airport for Puerto Rico is Luis Muñoz Marin International Airport (SJU). Common airlines that offer service to and from are: Frontier, American Airlines, Delta, JetBlue, Southwest, United & Spirit.
Although you could move around with Uber around the metropolitan area, we do recommend a car rental, especially if folks plan to extend their stay and visit some of the gorgeous sights the island has to offer. Public transit on Puerto Rico is virutally nonexistent and traveling by car is essential. We encourage getting in touch with other guests and carpooling when possible!
Answered simply, we don't have a traditional registry set up! We already live together and are blessed to be already set up with many of the material things we need to start our marriage and the rest of our lives together. Additionally, our guests' presence at our wedding is the greatest gift of all–we really can't express enough how much it means for our family and friends to travel so far to be with us on our day. However, should you wish to honor us with a gift, a small cash gift towards our honeymoon fund or our favorite animal rescue would be very welcome (but not expected). Our cash fund registry is linked in the tab above, if you are interested.
