We are so excited to spend an extended weekend with you celebrating our love in Playa del Carmen!
Our Love Story
Our Love Story
It all began on March 8th, 2020, at brunch—a place we were both dragged to by our friends, with zero intentions of going. But fate had other plans. Jeffrey asked for my Instagram and then messaged me saying, “I usually don’t do this through DMs, but can I have your number if you don’t mind?” Clearly, I said yes. Almost instantly, I got a text from his number, and we clicked right away.
Then Covid hit and the world shut down. With everything closed and everyone staying home, we had no other choice but to see each other, which gave us all the time in the world to get to know one another. After months of dating, once restaurants finally reopened, we had our first official date at The Boil. So yes, we’re definitely a Covid relationship!
We then bought our first house and, with no renovation skills, decided to tear it down and rebuild it ourselves. We created a space full of love, laughter, and countless backyard parties. It was there that Jeffrey proposed on May 20, 2023, surrounded by family and friends. We said “yes” to a lifetime of love and adventure.
Now, a year later, we’re planning our wedding, and we’re thrilled to have you join us as we say “I do!”

Travel Tips
Book Excursions in Advance. Popular attractions like Xcaret, cenotes, and Mayan ruins can fill up quickly. Booking tours and activities in advance ensures you get tours you want.
Stay Hydrated. Drink plenty of bottled water. Stick to bottled water, as tap water is not recommended for drinking.
Pack High-SPF Sunblock. And apply it regularly, especially after swimming or sweating, to protect your skin from sunburn. Bring a hat and sunglasses for extra protection.
Bring Cash for Tips. Tipping is customary in Riviera Maya, and having cash on hand is convenient for tipping hotel staff, tour guides, airport transfer drivers, and restaurant servers.
Prepare Digital Back-Ups. Check your passport expiration date, take a photo of it and download the travel documents you will receive to your phone to access even without cell service or WiFi.
Call Your Cell Company. Inform them of your trip in advance and ask about international plans to avoid unexpected roaming charges and ensure your phone will work abroad.
Use Your In-Room Safe. Your passport, electronics, prescription medications, cash, and all valuables should remain locked in your in-room safe.
