Yes, passports are required to travel to the Dominican Republic, so make sure your passport is not expired, and will not expire by the wedding date.
Short answer- hot! You can expect warm, sunny, and dry conditions. April falls within Punta Cana's dry season, which means less rainfall and comfortable temperatures. Daytime highs typically range from 82–86°F (28–30°C), while evening lows are around 70–72°F (21–22°C).
The ceremony will be on the beach, so dress accordingly! We recommend light, breathable fabrics and flat shoes/sandals. No white or white-adjacent, please!
Fior was born in Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic, and most of her family still lives there. Additionally, it was way more economical to get married there than in the US. Punta Cana is on the eastern coast of the Dominican Republic, and a very popular tourist spot.
The Dominican Republic's native language is Spanish, but you will be at a resort that caters to tourists from all around the world. So yes, almost all staff there speak English.
Let's be real, we are two 35 year olds that have been living on their own for over a decade- we don't need...stuff! Therefore, we have decided to forego a traditional wedding registry. Instead, we would be super grateful and appreciative of any financial gifts that can help us start our lives together. These funds will go to saving up for a house and a honeymoon trip. Please see the Registry tab at the top to contribute to our Newlywed Fund.
Because this is a destination wedding, we had to simplify the guest count. Only married or very long-term couples were allotted a plus one, sorry!
Although we adore your children, we have elected to have an adults-only ceremony and reception. We hope you understand.
