Our Wedding

A Love Story

Every great saga begins with a chance encounter — and theirs was no different. Thomas and Jasmonae first found each other through the realm's digital scrolls, on a platform called Hinge, where two very different worlds briefly appeared in the same corner of the universe and decided to take a closer look.

Their first quest together was humble in ambition — a sushi restaurant, no reservations, a two-hour wait. The realm, it seemed, had other plans. They agreed to try another tavern, and as they walked through the night air toward his carriage, Jasmonae's shoe surrendered entirely — a casualty of the journey before it had even truly begun. They detoured to the nearest provisions outpost, found a replacement, and pressed on without missing a beat. It was, in hindsight, the perfect foreshadowing of everything to come: things would not always go according to plan, and they would figure it out together anyway. At the sushi tavern, as Jasmonae spoke, Thomas listened — or so it appeared. It was only when she glanced down that she noticed every last piece of edamame had quietly vanished. She had questions. She kept them. They wandered on to Whole Foods, where they assembled an epic smorgasbord of desserts and an oat milk that somehow felt like a milestone. The evening concluded at The Domain, unhurried and unplanned, the way the best first chapters always are.

From that night forward, their adventure has refused to be ordinary. They have set their own rules and kept their own pace. They have built something that looks nothing like the map and everything like home — expanding their family, honoring what is nontraditional, and making it feel like the most natural thing in the known realm. They have fallen in love with how epically different their worlds are. They have learned to make space, hold space, and occasionally argue about space — and chosen each other through all of it. They have said yes to spice and to stillness. To far-flung travels and late-night games. To adventures that required courage and ordinary Tuesday evenings that required nothing at all. They have shown up even when the path was unclear and the answers were nowhere in sight. And now they are here — ready to seal the covenant, under the stars, surrounded by the fellowship that has witnessed their story from the beginning. This is not the end of the adventure. It is the moment the real one begins.

Dress Code

WHEN'S THE RSVP DEADLINE?

While we love all of our fellow procrastinators—and yes, we see you— we have some very real deadlines to meet. We need to provide our vendors with a final headcount by ✦✦✦✦Please RSVP by February 22, 2027✦✦✦✦ If we don’t hear from you by then, we’ll assume you’re sitting this celebration out and will have to await the next epic adventure.

IS THE WEDDING KID-FRIENDLY?

✦✦✦✦The reception and bar-crawl are not kid-friendly✦✦✦✦ We know we have some badass moms and dads among our closest friends, and that Guatemala is an incredible opportunity to expand your children's growing minds. We’d be delighted to have your young adventurers join us for the ceremony. However for the reception, we kindly ask that guests be 13 years or older.

INDOORS OR OUTDOORS

✦✦✦✦Both✦✦✦✦ The ceremony and cocktail hour will take place outdoors in the gardens of the ruins, followed by an indoor reception and dance party in the temple. Expect warm, humid weather in the mid-to-high 70s, with a cool-down into the mid-to-high 50s later in the evening. There’s also a slight chance of rain, so dress for the humidity and bring a light layer. Guatemala likes to keep things interesting.

WHAT'S THE DRESS CODE?

✦✦✦✦Fun, Sexy, and Creative with one color from<a href="https://coolors.co/072639-4b2e83-c63682-dfaf37" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> our wedding palette</a>✦✦✦✦ We briefly considered sending everyone a bride-approved uniform, but that felt wildly outdated—and far too limiting for the incredible personalities joining us. Instead of a traditional bridal party, we’re inviting all of our guests to become part of the visual story. Please incorporate at least one color from our wedding palette into your outfit so our photos feel effortlessly cohesive. Beyond that, have fun with it. Be sexy, bold, creative, elegant, playful, or all of the above. We want you to look like yourself, just slightly more celestial.

ARE WE EXPECTED TO ATTEND ALL EVENTS?

✦✦✦✦Absolutely not! This is a choose-your-own-adventure wedding.✦✦✦✦ As much as we’d love to hold you hostage for an entire week, we understand that work, life, and personal preferences exist. Join us for as much, or as little, as feels right for you. We’re simply sharing where we’ll be frolicking in case you’d like to come along. The two main events are the welcome cocktail party on Wednesday, April 21, and the wedding on Thursday, April 22. Technically, even those are optional...but skipping the wedding may raise questions about whether you’re actually cool.

HOW DO WE HANDLE ACCOMMODATIONS?

✦✦✦✦Book early, book in Antigua, and bring your walking shoes.✦✦✦✦ Antigua has more than 100 hotels and apartments, with options for nearly every budget, vibe, and preferred level of fabulousness. Because our wedding will not be hosted by a hotel, traditional room blocks aren’t available. Thankfully, Antigua is charmingly compact, and most accommodations are within a nine-block radius. One loving but persistent warning: April is peak wedding season. So, like an annoying little sister with the persistence of a middle brother, we will continue nudging you to book sooner rather than later. Many places are fully refundable, and booking early usually means better prices, which is excellent news for our money-conscious travelers and anyone who enjoys keeping more of their coins.

WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BOOKING OUR FLIGHT?

General Flying RecommendationsWe can’t predict the state of the Strait any more than we can predict who AI is coming for next. Generally, booking three to four months out works well. Booking four to six months ahead, however, may get you better options and leave a little more room in the budget for souvenirs, libations, and other extremely necessary purchases. ✦✦✦✦When traveling between La Aurora airport and Antigua, plan an additional 2-hour buffer to your destination✦✦✦✦ Antigua is about 50 minutes from the airport on a good day. On a traffic-has-other-plans day, the drive can take up to 1 hour and 45 minutes.

HOW SHOULD WE PREPARE BEFORE VISITING GUATEMALA?

Guatemala is beautiful, vibrant, and absolutely worth adding to your travel list. Think volcanoes, coffee farms, stunning architecture, and food that may challenge both your restraint and your waistband. When we visited in July, we experienced a warm, welcoming culture with travelers and transplants from all over the world. The less adventurous among you will still find familiar comforts like Starbucks and Little Caesars. For anyone hoping to return home as a slightly changed person, the climb up Acatenango and the local cuisine are waiting for you. Guatemala is a developing country, so we recommend reviewing current travel guidance before your trip and avoiding areas identified as higher risk. Antigua is a well-traveled tourist destination, but standard precautions still apply. We’ll include links to the local embassy and Guatemala’s tourist assistance resources for anyone who wants additional peace of mind. April is typically warm and dry, with sunny days and cooler evenings. Pack breathable clothing, comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, and a light layer for nighttime.Wi-Fi is widely available, but we recommend adding an international phone plan, purchasing a local SIM card, or downloading an offline map before arrival. Antigua is wonderfully walkable, but getting lost is considerably less charming when your phone has no service. Credit cards are widely accepted throughout Antigua. For cash, avoid exchanging money at the airport if getting the best rate matters to you. You will get a better rate by sending yourself money through Western Union and picking up Quetzals in town. ATMs are also widely available for anyone who values convenience over squeezing every last cent from the exchange rate. We’ll include helpful links and instructions so you can prepare without opening 47 tabs, losing the important one, and somehow ending up on a Reddit thread from 2016.

WHAT IF WE WANT TO MAKE THIS A VACATION?

Perfect! The bride is physically incapable of not working and has decided to moonlight as a travel agent, with her devoted groom drafted as an unpaid assistant. We’ve planned the week with plenty of opportunities to eat, explore, wander, and get into a reasonable amount of trouble. We’ve also included a list of restaurants, sights, and activities, all vetted with help from locals who know what they’re talking about. Follow the itinerary, ignore it completely, or create your own beautifully chaotic version. This is your vacation too; just don’t be shocked when Guatemala has you pricing extended return flights the night before you leave.

FOR MY VEGETARIAN AND SOBER PEEPS!

Our vegetarian and sober peeps are very much accounted for. Antigua has plenty of vegetarian options, and we must give a special shoutout to **Troccoli** for its vegetable antipasto, which is honestly worth writing home about. We’ll also have vegetarian options during cocktail hour and a portobello mushroom entrée at the reception. As for drinks, our son has somehow developed the refined palate of a tiny aristocrat well before adulthood, so naturally, we’ve created a non-alcoholic menu with enough sophistication to keep things interesting. No sad soda water with a lime wedge over here.
