Dear Friends and Family,

We are heartbroken to see the devastation in Jamaica caused by Hurricane Melissa. Caribbean countries like Jamaica, Haiti, and Cuba have faced destruction and death. From what we know, at least 19 people in Jamaica have died due to this historically devastating natural disaster.

On a personal note, we are still waiting to hear from some family members and hope they receive power soon. We are scared and worried, and we ask that you send your thoughts and prayers this way. We remain hopeful that they are safe, just without access to communication and electricity.

We highly recommend that people donate to the Jamaican organizations listed below. We hope that once we get in contact with family members, we can send donations and resources directly to their communities. We know that rebuilding will take a lot of time and money, but it's not impossible, especially with the help of people.

While all this is happening around us, it deeply saddens us that we will not be getting married in Montego Bay, Jamaica, on the Winter Solstice in 2025 with our family and friends. We encourage individuals to pursue refunds based on this hotel policy and through their respective airlines. We hope that you will consider donating any amount of money due to any refunds to the organizations listed below.
