On November 13th, 2016, Kyle took Giselle out for a surprise date in Manhattan. After getting off the L train on 8th Avenue, Kyle announced that he "pulled some strings to do something cool" at the Whitney downtown. Giselle didn't think this was strange since they both work in entertainment (so jaded) and she was thrilled to be visiting one of her favorite museums. Upon arrival, they met with a staffer who gave them a personal tour of two special exhibits (Dreamlands and Carmen Herrera). Giselle was so absorbed by the whole thing, she never noticed anything odd about Kyle. At the end of the tour, the guide offered to show them a collection that wasn't yet public. Kyle casually said they had some time to spare and Giselle, so excited to get the inside scoop, rushed after her without a second thought. The guide directed them into the museum's boardroom but when Giselle entered first, she saw champagne on ice and two glasses. Confused, she spun around to find the guide but she had disappeared. Alone and overlooking the Hudson River on a sunny day, Kyle tearfully asked Giselle to marry him with a ring made from his maternal grandmother's wedding ring. With a few more surprises in store, they had what Giselle could only describe as "the perfect New York day" overlooking the city she grew up in from multiple rooftops and hitting all of her favorite neighborhoods to celebrate.

With Kyle's family hailing from the west, Giselle's family from the east, and so many loved ones from all over the world, we decided to embrace a wedding that would be a true destination for everyone. Mérida is the Yucatan peninsula's capital and colonial-style paradise. We visited recently and found a safe city with extremely warm people, who are ecstatic to share their culture. We are so grateful that you are traveling to celebrate with us and hope that you will find a way to make this trip into a vacation too!

We will update this website with weekend details as we confirm them. Please continue to check back on the schedule of events.
