Our Wedding

Hello, family and friends!Thank you for taking the time to celebrate with us this November. We can’t wait to see everyone in Cartagena!It feels fitting that this is where we’ll be getting married—the country of the bride and the last name of the groom. While many of you know parts of our story, not everyone knows how it all began.We first met in high school and started our friendship in the most 2013 way possible: Snapchat.After weeks (and then months) of snapping and texting back and forth, JC finally worked up the courage to ask Angelica to be his date to his annual track banquet. JC remembers Angelica being incredibly quiet and shy during those first few dates.He was completely fooled.Not long after, we went to prom together—even though Angelica wasn’t exactly a fan of JC’s long hair at the time.After high school, we attended different colleges in different cities. While the distance wasn’t always easy, it made the time we spent together even more meaningful and helped us grow both as individuals and as a couple.Over the years, we’ve adopted two puppies, traveled to several countries, celebrated countless milestones, and built a life together filled with joy.Now, many years after that first date, we get to return to one of our favorite places we’ve visited together and begin our next chapter as husband and wife.It’s funny to think back to those first conversations and realize we had no idea where they would lead. Angelica used to joke that she would marry JC for his last name.Well… the joke’s on her.It’s actually happening.

Things to Do

Are Kids Allowed?

We adore your children, but we’ve decided to host an adults-only wedding. We hope you can take this as an opportunity for a fun getaway with us in Cartagena 🤍 (the venue has a strict curfew for kids under the age of 16)

What currency should I use?

Colombia uses Colombian pesos (COP). Most restaurants and larger establishments accept cards, but many smaller vendors and taxis are cash only, so it’s a good idea to have pesos on hand throughout your trip.

What is the weather like?

It will be warm and humid as its a coastal city. Lightweight fabrics and breathable materials are your best friend!

What documents are needed to enter Colombia?

Please make sure your passports are within 3 months of expiration! Submitting the online form <a href="https://apps.migracioncolombia.gov.co/pre-registro/en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">CheckMig</a> 72 hours before your flight is also required to enter Colombia.

Where do I stay?

All of the wedding activities will be within the Old Town / Walled City, so we recommend staying nearby as everything is within walking distance. If you choose to stay further, please keep in mind travel time and street closures as it is a walkable city!
