About the Islands

The Wedding Website of Melissa Messler and Ignacio Cordero
As we celebrate our next chapter, we couldn’t imagine a more magical place to gather with the people we love than the Galápagos Islands. Located about 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador, this remote archipelago is like nowhere else on Earth—a living museum of evolution and wild, untouched beauty. Formed by volcanic eruptions, the Galápagos inspired Darwin’s theory of evolution and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's a place where sea lions sunbathe beside you, giant tortoises roam freely, and the natural world feels wonderfully alive. Snorkel with sea turtles, kayak through turquoise waters, or simply enjoy a cerveza—it’s paradise for adventurers and chill-seekers alike. We got engaged in Galápagos at The Point by Midori, a stunning oceanfront spot on Santa Cruz Island, once the home of the pioneering Angermeyer family. It’s intimate, rich with history, and full of heart. It’s the perfect place to start our adventure—and we can’t wait to celebrate with you!
