Read Here First 

It all started in September 2020. Despite living 73 miles from each other, Connor and Arianna were brought together by the dating app Hinge. After exchanging messages that quickly turned into nightly conversations filled with laughter and curiosity, they decided to meet in person at the Pearl River Saloon on October 18th. What was intended as a casual first date turned into an unforgettable twelve-hour marathon of conversation and connection together.&nbsp;Connor and Arianna found themselves effortlessly drawn to each other as they instantly clicked. A girl at the bar had even asked them how long they'd been together as their chemistry was like they'd loved each other for a lifetime. As the night progressed, neither of them wanted to part ways. By the end of the night, they had already scheduled a second date: Halloween weekend to meet all of Connor's friends. Pictured above: Photo we took together on our first date! Honorable Mentions: Connor's former roommate and friend Jake who thought Arianna may had killed Connor as he was gone on the date for an abnormally long time. Arianna's friend Vicky whom she texted updates throughout the night including one saying "I think I just got a boyfriend"

Our First Date 

June 22nd: After a week of exploring Germany and Switzerland, Connor and Arianna had arrived in Bellagio, Italy on Lake Como. They had scheduled a beautiful boat tour to visit the Villa Balbianello. Arianna had been looking forward to visiting the Villa, admiring its beauty and snapping some perfect pictures. As they spent the morning getting ready Connor was uncharacteristically quiet and spent 20 mins doing his hair for the first time all trip. When they arrived at the Villa, Arianna and Connor were part of a small tour group scheduled to tour the inside rooms. Connor was antsy to ditch the tour as he stated he was sweating in the non air conditioned rooms (fair enough). As Connor and Arianna ditched the tour,&nbsp;they explored the gorgeous gardens and took in the stunning views of Lake Como. Connor and Arianna were taking pictures with the beautiful backdrop when Connor insisted on going up to the loggia for some pictures. Finally in the perfect spot, Connor searched for a willing participant to capture the moment. Under the ruse of taking photos, Connor and Arianna posed against the breathtaking background. It was in this moment, Connor asked Arianna to turn around to capture some photos "looking out". When she turned back around she found Connor down on one knee as he asked her to marry him. Immediately, through plenty of tears she said YES! They spent the rest of the day surrounded by the timeless beauty of Lake Como, creating a memory that would forever be etched in their hearts (and crying happy tears).

What now? 

As Flight is not included in the booking, now you can begin looking at and booking flights. You will need to fly into Cancun Airport (CUN). The flight from EWR/JFK/PHL area is about 4 hours and will generally be around $250-$400 pp. For safety reasons, it is highly recommended to book your airport transfer to and from Cancun airport and the hotel ahead of time as opposed to taking an Uber or Taxi at the airport. The airport transfer can be booked through our travel agent at a rate of $98.75 per person and includes both ways. This transfer is non-stop and may include other members of our wedding group. If you did not book already and are interested please email our travel agent to add to your transfer booking: kjohnson@seasiderendezvousweddings.com. Those who did add the airport transfer, our travel agent will be reaching out 2-3 months prior to departure to confirm your flight information in order to schedule transfers. If you do not wish to book your airport transfer through our travel agent, our hotel Secrets Moxche recommends Amstar as their preferred transfer partner. To book through Amstar : https://www.amstardmc.com/en/
