Question

Why Oaxaca?

Answer

Lucero’s roots are Oaxacan. Both parents were born in the state of Oaxaca. Her father is of Zapotec descent coming from a small village 1.5 hours southwest from Oaxaca de Juarez. While her mother is of Mixteco descent coming from a village 2.5 hours north. After her father's passing, she felt very connected to him here. When we raised Oaxaca as an option for the wedding, we decided to visit together. Alex fell in love with it as much as I was.

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP by February 15, 2024. We will reach out to those who have not RSVPed by this date.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Most events have a description of attire. The night before the wedding is semi-floral while focusing on the color scheme red & pink. Dress to impress - Cocktail formal. This is a formal wedding. But we want you to feel comfortable, so if those shoes are too high or that top button is too tight, let it all hang loose. Also, please make sure to bring comfortable shoes for the Calenda. We will be walking around the city for about 30 minutes before making our way to the venue for the reception.
