We met over a spilled cup of coffee at a campus library, trading nervous laughs that turned into late-night study sessions and endless adventures. Dylan's elbow accidentally sent an entire iced latte across the table, completely soaking Bailey's highlighted notes. Instead of being upset, we just laughed, started talking, and ended up losing track of time until the library closed.
How We Met
The Spark: Dylan knocked over his iced latte right onto Bailey’s notes during finals week.
The Recovery: Bailey laughed, handed over a napkin, and agreed to go out for a proper cup of coffee the next day.
The Connection: We instantly realized we shared the exact same quirky taste in old music and midnight walks.
Growing Together
Our Adventures: We spent our early twenties road-tripping with nothing but an old guitar and a beat-up map.
Building Our Life: Through first jobs and tiny apartments, we learned that home wasn't a place—it was just being together.
The Proposal: Dylan proposed under the stars at the exact spot where we had our very first official picnic, and Bailey said yes before he could even finish asking.
Standing Here Today
Our Promise: We grew from college kids into partners ready for a lifetime together.
The Celebration: Surrounded by all of you, our wonderful family and friends, we begin our next great chapter.

As much as we love your kids, we kindly ask that they do not attend our wedding weekend.
The invitation will specify if you’re allowed to bring a guest. If it’s not clear, please reach out to the couple for confirmation.
Kindly RSVP by February 1, 2027. (TBD)
If you’re unable to attend, please inform the couple as soon as possible so they can adjust their plans accordingly.

Please know that there are only a couple of ATM machines within the Puerto Aventuras area. You can exchange funds at the airport or at your local bank ahead of time if you plan to pay in USD. US dollars are widely accepted at many establishments. There is a money exchange house located near the marina inside the community of Puerto Aventuras, if guests wish to exchange US dollars to Mexican Pesos. It may not be the same exchange rate as a bank would give, as the money exchange houses charge a commission. However, the difference is minimal unless large amounts of cash are being exchanged.
