Our Wedding

Love at first sight you ask? Well maybe it wasn't like how they show in the movies but it was close. There was no slowing the flame once it was lit, it was like we had always been together. Now I am not going to gag you with telling our story of cute dates, big adventures, large decisions and all the fun that lead us to this big moment of I do because let's be real you all have been apart of the ride with us. We are forever grateful that life brought us together and that we have the amazing support system that we do. You have all played a special role in our love story at one point or another and now we are so excited for this next chapter, marriage! In true Ryan &amp; Chelsea fashion we have decided the conventional wedding everyone dreams about is not what we want, so here we are embarking on yet another adventure but this time we are inviting you to join us! We will be saying "I do" on a Carnival Cruise on our 6th Anniversary. Why not have a 4 day reception with our family and friends!? We are so excited for the memories that will be made on this cruise!

Let's Get Married!

Please plan to book a hotel room for April 25th. We will need everyone to go down the night before the cruise. We do not expect everyone stay at same hotel but we ask you to be mindful of where you stay in proximity to port location, can't stress enough not to be late! port location:https://www.google.com/maps/dir//231+Windsor+Way,+Long+Beach,+CA+90802/@33.751332,-118.2712786,12z/data=!4m8!4m7!1m0!1m5!1m1!1s0x80dd313f9ae1d253:0xf2c069f87b89bbca!2m2!1d-118.1888774!2d33.7513594?entry=ttu&amp;g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDcxMy4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D We will be staying at:Best Western Los Angeles Worldport Hotel However I have attached a few other hotels in close area. I would recommend using bookings.com as often there is deals. If you have questions please let me know. We will be leaving our house the 25th at 6am sharp! With an infant we will likely have to make a couple stops we do not expect any one to car pool with us as we will just be going with the flow however anyone that wants to tag a long together please meet at Taco Bell in Jamestown at 6:15 am to roll out. Please let us know if you plan to do this, if not safe travels and we are so excited to see you. :)

This is where we will be staying, I did not block out rooms as I did not want to pressure any one to stay somewhere specific

Daily high temperatures typically range from 70F-73F and lows of around 52F watch weather week or so before to know how to pack Catalina island: Beautiful little island. If you haven't been before we highly recommend renting a golf cart to tour around the island. Restaurants are delicious but spendy plan accordingly. Lots of cute little shops. E bike rentals. We personally plan to walk around play on beach with kids, maybe shop and eat a good lunch. Please do whatever you want and have fun! Ensenada: There is lots of excursions to chose from however it's also fun just to walk around eat tacos (we have a fav taco spot :) ), drink drinks and shop.

I have seen on cruiser facebook groups that Mexico is taking this very serious please be aware. Vaping is completely illegal in Mexico, and bringing or using any vaping device can result in fines, confiscation, or even criminal penalties.Legal Status<a href="https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&amp;&amp;p=4b86db8769adb6e938543da73dc60e5e4c3fc835afde859baf13fd0b4d344b06JmltdHM9MTc3NTE3NDQwMA&amp;ptn=3&amp;ver=2&amp;hsh=4&amp;fclid=3759e090-e4e6-6735-06d2-f7a0e56566db&amp;u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly90aGV2YXBlcnNndWlkZS5jb20vdmFwaW5nLWxhd3MvbWV4aWNv" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">As of 2026, Mexico has implemented one of the strictest vaping bans in the world. The prohibition is embedded in the Mexican Constitution, making it extremely difficult to reverse through normal legislation. The ban covers all e-cigarettes and vaping devices, regardless of nicotine content, and applies to both residents and tourists. Selling, advertising, or distributing vaping products is also illegal throughout the country.</a> please do not try to bring maryjane of any kind on the boat you will get kicked off and won't be allowed to cruise againCarnival has also cracked down on bringing alcohol aboard the ship please don't try to be sneaky they will find it and you can be kicked off. Adults you are allowed to bring one bottle of wine per checked suitcase. Again highly recommend reading the dos and don't page on Carnivals website
