Farewell!

Welcome to our wedding website—this is where the celebration begins. We can’t wait to share this special moment with all of you. While we’re still adding details, you’ll already find the essentials: how to get to Oaxaca, where to stay, and what to expect for the weekend. So mark your calendars and check back soon—we’ll be updating this space with everything you need to join us for a few unforgettable days filled with love, good food, and a little mezcal.

Our Wedding

I first met Albert in 2018 when he joined the same team I was on at work. He came over from the sales department, which, to be honest, I was not a big fan of. So, I wasn’t exactly thrilled about anyone from that department joining our team. But somehow, Albert ended up sitting right across from me, and before I knew it, we became fast friends. We spent countless lunches at Ranch 616, Bar Chi, and Cedar Door, and after hours, sometimes we’d end up on the East Side at Volstead. We always had a lot of fun together and had a lot in common, so I was grateful to find another friend that was so easy to talk with. Though, I most definitely could not see what would be coming in the future! Later that year, I moved to Europe, and though we went our separate ways, we always stayed in touch and met up whenever we could. Years passed, there was a pandemic, and a lot of life changes for both of us. I moved back to the U.S. in 2021, and that’s when Albert told me there might be something more between us. We began having long, deep conversations that eventually brought us even closer. Now, living together in New York, I’m amazed at how our friendship has grown and evolved over the years to turn into the most meaningful relationship of my life. &lt;3

Cat's POV

I remember my first interaction with Cat at the beer taps at our old workplace (of course). I made a comment roasting Iowa for being the state everyone forgets, which apparently made a lasting impression... though Cat now claims she doesn’t remember it at all. We became friends pretty quickly, and as she mentioned, we spent a lot of lunches sweating in the Texas sun drinking Mexican martinis. Just as we were getting closer, Cat dropped a bomb that she was moving to Europe. Selfishly, I was pretty disappointed. We were just friends at that point, but the idea of her leaving made me start to realize I might feel something more. One of those things where the thought of it going away gives you a little clarity. Anyway, she moved, and that was that. We kept in touch here and there, and a lot of life happened for both of us like loss, change, and a global pandemic. When Cat was thinking about moving back to the States, she came through Austin and we went for lunch again. It felt like nothing had changed. We picked up right where we left off and in the back of my mind, I started to wonder if maybe there was something worth exploring. We hung out a few more times, and eventually I shot my shot. I said something like, “Hey... what if?” Somehow, that turned into everything.

Bridal Party

Alexandra Hillestad

I am very lucky to call Alexandra my sister, and now of course my Matron of Honor! Growing up with Alexandra was nothing short of fun – from our childhood dance parties in our bedroom to full on performances of dances (titanic) in the laundry room, epic fort-building adventures, Polly Pocket’s swimming pool, heated Easter egg hunts &amp; late-night Pokémon marathons with James and of course, Donkey Kong showdowns. Though, I’d be remiss if I didn’t share my most love tradition with Alexandra, which was every Christmas Eve she’d be so excited she couldn’t sleep and would furiously kick her feet up and down in bed celebrating the anticipation for the next day – and I just loved that!! It’s that kind of love and energy Alexandra has always bought to our family – always going out of her way to make celebrations more special from helping mom decorate and pick out the best gifts – to today, hosting all our holidays herself with an open invitation. I’d also be remiss if I didn’t mention the amazing man she chose as a husband and brought into our family – Ethan, of whom also hosts these events by her side! Alexandra has always been willing to come visit me wherever I may wander and host me for months on end when I visit… and I couldn’t be luckier that Ethan also agrees to host me for indeterminate amounts of time on end 🤣 and now they both welcome my family – Albert &amp; Beni as well ❤️. &nbsp;Alexandra has been there for all the highs and lows life has to bring, and no matter the time or distance, will always be there. I can say I am truly lucky to have her by my side on the most important day of my life❤️

Pie Patel Peng

My best friend, Pie -- Pie and I met when I moved to Austin, TX in 2015 while we were both working at Enterprise Rent-A-Car. I didn't know her all that well, until I finally achieved 'elite' sales status one month, and Pie deemed me ‘worthy’ 🤣 - so she reached out via text to congratulate me on my achievements. I thought this was incredibly thoughtful of her, and I conveniently had plans later that night to get drunk at BJ's and go shopping at Ross with the one and only Jordan, so we invited Pie along...... and truly the rest is history. Pie is like another sister to me and has been there through many of the ups and downs life brings. Similarly to my actual sister - she has housed me for months on end and all of my belongings for years on end when I galivanted off to Europe (honorable shout out to her husband, our ERAC hiring manager Michael - of whom has also put up with me &amp; my things for years &amp; is directly responsible for hiring us and thereby our friendship itself)! There is no one I'd rather get drunk on a bridge with, practice couch yoga with, or convince our bosses it takes us both to do a 1 person job (shout out to all our nights in the exit booth at the Austin airport), and of course no one else I'd rather have by my side on my wedding day ❤️

Jordan Krause

Similarly, Jordan and I met at Enterprise Rent-A-Car &amp; hit it off quickly as we were working in the same branch and she was the MA showing me the ropes. Within the first couple days I heard her talking with one of our service agents about Purple Margs and just had to know what the heck she was talking about. In true Jordan fashion, she wasted no time and insisted we go directly after work that day. Three purple margs later (the limit is 2 😏) and a few tears .... really, the rest is history!! Jordan is my absolute favorite person to ball my eyes out with then clean them up later with a shot of tequila (obligatory if we've walked into my apartment), to binge Nurse Jackie for weeks on end, wait 1 nom (nom nom nom) for the Dublin bus with, and to annoy the heck out of by taking way too many pics of her. It's incredible how our friendship has grown and maintained throughout the years, no matter the distance and I'm very lucky to have her by my side!

Annika Nynas

Finally, I quit Enterprise and moved on to Main Street Hub where I met Annika, my midwestern emo screamo twin of a best friend (also the place I'll later meet Albert 😉). I'll never forget the day I met Annika--&nbsp;my manager came up to me to let me know a girl who would be starting the following week, came in a week early to shadow and take notes -- and I had been selected for the honor. To say I was displeased would be an understatement, I was already not loving this job, and I really wanted to run through this Welcome Call like clockwork and move on with my life. But in walks Annika, notebook and pen in hand ready to take it seriously and learn from me. She was much too pretty and type A for me 🤣 --- well she quickly won me over -- we talked about the Midwest, things we had in common, travel, some bands we both liked and then of course went out for one of probably thousands of 'lunches' -- and the rest was history!! Annika is my favorite person to grab a beer with and talk about life, she has a way of showing up for her loved ones like no one else and truly is the best at keeping us sooo connected throughout the years and distance! I probably would've gone insane planning this wedding without her, so from start to end I am the luckiest person in the world to have Annika as a ride or die and so thankful to have her by my side!

Coline Pechberty Pautal

Coline and I became best friends despite the closure of the entire world. We knew each other for a month or two at work and would go for walks during lunch. However, the pandemic hit and we were all confined to our homes&nbsp;in Dublin... and it's then that she suggested a Facetime date... and a glass of two or wine later -- we'd become virtual bffs!! After a bit of time, we were able to venture 5kms out of our houses and hang out outside together in the park and we proceeded to do that day after day for the next year of our lives! We proceeded to spend our days walking beyond our 5kms to the beach and pretending we lived in the Poolbeg Towers, pondering the differences between seas, oceans, bays, gulfs, enjoying FPPs (freshly poured pints) after the pubs had been closed for months, and finally and most importantly throwing the best party I've ever been to (there were just 4 of us &amp; it lasted about 24 hours!). Coline is the friend I could spend hours with on end and never run out of things to talk about and if we did --- we'd surely start talking about something absolutely ridiculous for hours (unicorn worms ?? ) I am truly honored to have her by my side!

Nora Bourdin

Nora and I met in college at the University of Iowa and became fast friends. She'd just arrived at college after spending a gap year in Europe - and to say I was more than interested in being friends with her... as someone who hadn't left the country yet... was an understatement! We spent endless nights out -- mug club at Brothers, fish bowls at DC's, Spo Co, The Library, or Summit always ending with the best late night bites Iowa City had to offer (shout out Mesa's mac and cheese pizza!). Our second year, we moved in together and beyond our nights out - we had the best nights in together - whether it was studying with a glass of wine and dreaming of owning an Italian vineyard someday together or chat rouletting actually believing we were talking to Chris Brown 🫣 or planning our wedding for 6/20/2020 if we were both still single (lol - funny enough we were 😉). Nora is the friend I can count on to visit me wherever life took me or join any trip at the drop of the hat, there isn't one place I've lived she didn't drop by to hang out from Nashville, to Austin, to Dublin, to NYC (or just moved herself hehe) -- and she's joined me on many trips around the world from Mexico to Kenya -- and I'm so happy to have her by my side all of these years and on my wedding day!

Brianna Douglas

Bri and I were assigned to be college freshmen roommates, so we first met via Facebook Messenger to introduce ourselves. I can't remember who chatted first, but what I do remember is Bri thinking something along the lines of 'great 🙄who is this blonde b***' (I had my hair box dyed at the time) and I was thinking something like 'who is this band nerd' 🤣 after a lot of deliberation (I was attempting to convince Bri to swap roommates) and in typical Bri fashion-- she stood her ground - we settled on our fate as roommates. And boy am I so glad she did!!! We had so much fun continually redecorating our room, painting the walls purple, literally removing the furniture given to us and having my mom bring in cute locker beds from home, covering the walls in pictures and posters (shout out to Eminem - Bri's doppelgänger 🤣), staying up late and singing each other to sleep, housing an illegal bunny in our room named Bella, many many photo booth sessions, or hanging out learning to play pool at The Underground!! Despite me moving into my sorority the following year and then transferring to University of Iowa -- our bond was built forever! Whenever Bri and I get together it's like not a day has passed and it takes me right back to 2008 cuddling in our dorm room! Bri always goes out of her way to keep us connected, visiting me in Austin or even in Iowa when she's got 3 kids back at home! I'm truly honored we've been able to maintain our friendship and such a cherished time of our life together -- and I'm very lucky to have her by my side!

Kelsey Mason

Well, as I always say -- I owe my life to Kelsey if she's not happy in life because....... Kelsey and I met while working at an accounting firm in Iowa City for the summer and we became friends. I then subsequently recruited her to work at the Sheraton/HotelVetro in Iowa City the following year, then a few years later I'd recruit her to move to Nashville and work at the Sheraton Nashville, and even more years later I'd refer her to work at Enterprise Rent-A-Car 🤣. All to say, we had a very similar career trajectory in our 20s hahaha - so sorry Kels if that sucked BUT I am so lucky to have had you by my side almost the entire ride 🤣 Beyond my cult like recruiting with Kels, back in Sheraton Iowa City/ HotelVetro days we were also just college kids enjoying many late nights out at Studio 13 and nights in eating McDonalds and Sushi (because they definitely go together) and having food fights in the kitchen! From celebrating Kelsey’s 21’s birthday in Iowa City -- to more recent history, celebrating 30 in NYC!! There is no one else I’d rather grab a drink with, see all the sights, or grab a NYC slice &amp; run home with it in the rain while both of our Raynaud’s kicks in! No matter the time or distance, Kelsey and I pick right back up where we left off and I am honored to have her by my side!&nbsp;

Wedding Party

We’re so excited to celebrate with you in Oaxaca!This page has everything you need to know about getting there—flight tips, nearby airports, and travel logistics. We recommend arriving on Thursday or Friday to get settled and enjoy the city before the festivities begin. And if you’re able to stay past the weekend, scroll to the bottom of the things to do page for our favorite ideas on how to spend extra time in Mexico—whether that’s more of Oaxaca, the beach, or a mountain escape. Please note, we are getting married Easter Weekend so it will be a Holy Week when you arrive - because of this we recommend you extend your trip on the back end so this doesn't interfere with any plans you might make outside of our wedding!

✈️ Getting to OaxacaMost guests will fly into Oaxaca International Airport (OAX). There are no direct international flights to Oaxaca from the U.S. or Europe, so you’ll likely connect through Mexico City (MEX) or a U.S. hub like Dallas (DFW) or Houston (IAH).

TexasFrom Austin, San Antonio, or McAllen, the best route is usually through Mexico City, Dallas, or Houston.956 Tip: consider flying from Reynosa (REX) across the border—flights can be much cheaper! NortheastFly into Mexico City (MEX) or Houston (IAH), then connect to Oaxaca.Flights are typically 6–7 hours total with layover. MidwestConnect through Dallas, Houston, or Mexico City.Total travel time is usually around 7–8 hours. Tennessee &amp; the SouthRoutes from Nashville or nearby airports typically go through Dallas, Houston, or Mexico City. West Coast Direct flights to Mexico City through LAX, then a short hop to Oaxaca.Some routes may also go via Dallas or Houston. EuropeFly to Mexico City (direct from most major cities), then take a short domestic flight to Oaxaca (~1 hour).💡 Tip: Booking the international and domestic flights separately can sometimes save money—just allow time for customs &amp; connection!

Arriving in Oaxaca Airport to city center: ~20-30 min driveTaxis: Purchase a ticket at the official kiosk inside the airport for a set fare. You'll have two options, 'colectivo' or 'privado' -- meaning 'collective' or 'private'. Either is a great option depending on your preference. The colectivo will be more economical as you're sharing a taxi with many peoples so it may take longer if you're not the first to be dropped off. Last time we were there, the colectivo was about $7pp to the city and a private van was $35ish. If you share with us your travel details we can group you with others from the wedding to share a private van - just text us!Uber: Not available in OaxacaDidi: Local equivalent of Uber, but not available from the airportCar rentals: Not recommended—parking is limited, and the city center is very walkable

Travel DocumentsPassport Required: All travelers need a valid passport to enter Mexico.No Visa Needed: U.S., U.K., and most European citizens do not need a visa for stays under 180 days. For info on where to stay, check out our where to stay page. If you have questions about traveling to Oaxaca, we are happy to answer any questions.

Currency &amp; Payments 💲 Oaxaca uses the Mexican peso (MXN). Many places accept credit cards, especially in the city center, but some smaller shops and restaurants are cash-only—so it’s good to have some pesos on hand. You can exchange money at the airport, or withdraw pesos from ATMs once you arrive (often the best rate). Many credit cards work internationally, and some offer no foreign transaction fees, which can help you save a bit on purchases. Need a travel-friendly card? We’re happy to refer you to one—we both get the points! Safety We also want to say—Oaxaca is very safe, walkable, and welcoming. We've been several times and feel totally comfortable walking around day or night. Like anywhere, you should stay aware of your surroundings, but there's no need for concern.

We’ve listed some of our favorite spots below, but if you’re looking for even more ideas—food, shopping, activities, day trips—our amazing wedding planner put together a full Oaxaca guide: 👉 <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UMqCJ3iTXuRuyTYhwRYNvplSOC94WP8S/view?usp=sharing" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Download the full Oaxaca Recommendations PDF</a> It’s packed with local favorites and great picks for exploring beyond the main tourist spots!

In Centro

Eat at one of Cat &amp; Albert's favorite restaurants in the city, also backed by a 2024 Michelin Star! Cat's go to order: 👉 Appetizer: Hoja Santa 👉 Main: Fideo&nbsp;

Los Danzantes

A great spot for cocktails and food, Sabina Sabe is known for its mezcal-based cocktails. The atmosphere is lively but relaxed, making it a good place to grab a drink and a bite. It's also located in the Centro not very far from the venues.

Sabina Sabe

Oaxaca is known for its incredible artisan crafts, textiles, and ceramics. Strolling through local markets and boutiques is a great way to find unique souvenirs while supporting the locals. Simply strolling the streets of Centro, you'll find many shops that sell local goods, but if you want our recommendations on where to shop, you could spend hours in these Oaxacan markets: Mercado Benito Juárez – A classic market for everything from woven baskets to mole pastes. Mercado 20 de Noviembre – Perfect for food gifts like chocolate and Oaxacan coffee or for tasting Oaxacan dishes. Artesanal Market (Mercado de Artesanías) – A great place for handmade textiles, embroidered clothing, and alebrijes (colorful wooden carvings). Cash is recommended.

Shopping

This historic 16th-century church is one of Oaxaca’s most well-known landmarks and museums. The interior is covered in intricate gold detailing, and the adjoining Jardín Etnobotánico showcases plants native to Oaxaca. The area around Santo Domingo is great for walking, with plenty of cafes, shops, and street vendors nearby.

Templo de Santo Domingo de Guzmán

Day Trips

If you have extra time, there are some amazing places just outside the city worth visiting. If you need recommendations, check out the following:

A must-visit archaeological site, Monte Albán is an ancient Zapotec city with incredible ruins and panoramic views of the Oaxaca Valley. It’s an easy half-day trip, and you can explore on your own or with a guide to learn more about its history.

Zona Arqueológica de Monte Albán

Famous for its petrified waterfalls and natural pools, Hierve el Agua is a stunning spot for a short hike and a refreshing swim. The best way to visit is by rental car or guided tour.

Hierve el Agua

Teotitlán del Valle & Mezcal Distilleries

Teotitlán del Valle is a Zapotec weaving village famous for its handwoven wool rugs dyed with natural pigments. Many family-run workshops offer demonstrations, and you can buy beautiful textiles directly from the artisans. Nearby, you’ll find mezcal distilleries (palenques) where you can learn about traditional mezcal-making and enjoy tastings. It’s a great way to experience Oaxaca’s craftsmanship and culture in one trip.

Trip Extensions 🌎

If you’re extending your trip, here are some great destinations to visit after Oaxaca: Puerto Escondido &amp; Mazunte – Beautiful beach towns on the Oaxacan coast, perfect for surfing, relaxing, and seafood. Black sand beaches in Mazunte are incredible. (~45 min flight or 2.5 hour drive) San José del Pacífico – A peaceful mountain town known for its cloud forests, hiking, and traditional temazcal steam baths. (~3.5-hour drive or bus) Mexico City – A world-class city with incredible food, museums, and history. (~1-hour flight) P.S. A note about Holy Week (Semana Santa)Our wedding takes place during Semana Santa, one of the most festive (and busiest!) times of year in Mexico. Expect lively streets, parades, and big crowds—especially leading up to Easter. If you're thinking about extending your trip, consider staying on after Holy Week ends (the Monday following Easter). The city will be a bit quieter and even more enjoyable to explore at a slower pace.
