When the RSVP goes live, you will see an "RSVP" tab on the website. You will also receive text message reminders from us.
We have set an RSVP window so we can give a final count to the venue. The window for RSVPs will be March 2, 2026 - July 6, 2026. If you attempt to RSVP after the deadline, unfortunately you will not be able to attend.
Unless your formal invitation is addressed to you and a guest, plus ones are not permitted.
Children are not permitted to attend the wedding or any related event. The only children that will be in attendance will be the direct relatives of the grooms.

We would love to see our family and friends get dressed up with us. We ask that you not wear white. Please dress semi-formal and wear warm bright colors. Remember, shorts are not formal. Below you will find some notes on semi-formal attire. For Women: - Dresses: Cocktail dresses, midi-length dresses, and even some well-designed maxi dresses are all suitable. Look for elegant silhouettes in fabrics like satin, crepe, or chiffon. -Jumpsuits and Pant Suits: These are also great options for semi-formal weddings, offering a stylish and comfortable alternative to dresses. - Accessories: Choose accessories that add a touch of elegance without being overly flashy. For Men: - Suits: A classic suit is the go-to choice for semi-formal attire. Consider lighter-colored suits. - Ties: Corey hates ties. Though ties are part of semi-formal attire, we will not require that our guests wear them. - Dress Shirts: A crisp, well-fitting dress shirt is a must-have for a semi-formal look. Also, don't forget to pack sunscreen since we will be outside most of the day, Liquid IV or electrolytes for those of us planning to drink in the sun, and ladies you may want a wrap or cover of some type because it may get chilly in the evening in your pretty dresses!
Seating will begin at 4:30PM. The ceremony will start promptly at 5:00PM on December 5th. If you arrive late, we ask that you wait until the cocktail hour to avoid any disruptions during our special moment.
Usually Cancun is on Central Time (the same as Chicago), however because the U.S. observes daylight savings time and Mexico does not, the time in Cancun in December will be the same as Eastern Time (one hour ahead of Chicago).
It is recommended that you stay at the resort listed on the "Know Before You Go" tab. If you choose to stay off this resort, you will have to pay a day pass fee of ~$180 USD to be admitted to the wedding and you will not be able to attend any of the events outside of wedding day. Note - All travel, lodging arrangements, and payments are the sole responsibility of each guest.
As an attendee of the wedding, the resort requires you to stay a minimum of 3 nights or more.
All events on the wedding day will be held outdoors. The ceremony will take place on the beach and the reception will take place by the pool area.
Our wedding will be the only wedding taking place at the venue, so in the event of rain, we reserved a backup location on the resort that is indoors.
