Reception

Our Wedding

We met in the very 2000s way: online. While scrolling through Hinge, we both swiped right and the match stuck. Despite Cierra’s slow replies, Alex kept at it, asked her out, and after a rain-canceled Braves game, some Delta seats, and more than a few Taffer’s espresso martinis, we were officially together. The connection was instant and deepened quickly — we’ve been inseparable ever since. Our little family includes Gracie Belle, our adored Great Pyrenees. We can’t wait to begin this next chapter as husband and wife and to celebrate with all of you in Cancún on April 17, 2027.

Dress Code

Q + A

The ceremony, reception, any additional events, and accommodations will take place at Moon Palace The Grand - Cancun. While we are excited to celebrate our wedding, we are equally excited to have a vacation with our closest friends and family! Though our venue requires a passport, we wanted to pick a place where everything is covered once on resort property. No need to worry about finding transportation the day of the ceremony, dining and drinks, or activities to enjoy! As common for most all-inclusive resorts, there is a minimum stay of 3 nights at the time of booking, but if you choose, stay as many nights as you wish beyond that. (*Please note the rate of $663 per couple per night is only valid 4/15/27-4/19/27 and additional nights will be at the regular resort rate.) If a couple is adding a 3rd or 4th adult to their room, their will be a rate of $233 per additional person per night plus the initial $663 rate. Alex and Cierra will be there from 4/13/27-4/19/27. We would love to keep the party going! Transportation round trip to the airport is included with the nightly cost if you book for a minimum of 4 nights. The website link above will take you to the main website for Moon Palace The Grand to view accommodations, dining, and activities. There are 2 sister resorts connected to The Grand: Moon Palace-Nizuc and Moon Palace Sunrise. Our guests will be asked to stay specifically at The Grand. Another perk of the main resort being The Grand is that you all will have access to enjoy the amenities, dining, and activities at Nizuc and Sunrise included with the nightly rate. Amenities at The Grand include but are not limited to: the spa, golf, waterpark, multiple pool bars, and golf cart transportation within the resort. The link below will specifically take you to the reservation page for our room block (no code required). https://bit.ly/49RAIhT *Our room block will be available until February 1, 2027 - reservations may still be made for regular resort rates*

The trip from the airport to the resort is approximately 10-15 minutes. For guests staying a minimum of 4 nights, round trip transportation to the Cancun airport is included with the nightly rate for no additional charge. For guests staying 3 nights, there is an additional fee for airport transfer that can be done directly on the Moon Palace website. There is an option to "Add Transportation" at the time of booking or can be found on the website at a later time (<a href="https://transfers.palaceresorts.com/?_ics=1769904586883&amp;clickid=~1UORQLNHEwzwxoe978Y5WMNEzyCDuswrxsjfg8932SNMIAponjg9&amp;_gl=1*fyzlpf*_gcl_aw*R0NMLjE3Njk5MDQ2MDIuQ2owS0NRaUE3ZmJMQmhESkFSSXNBT0FxaHNlcm1JUWVTVi1PbVIwanlETGNOV25vYnRWbHctbVBZS3VhaGtTSV9VcTRIV2RmaFJhaGY1VWFBcDdoRUFMd193Y0I.*_gcl_dc*R0NMLjE3Njk5MDQ2MDIuQ2owS0NRaUE3ZmJMQmhESkFSSXNBT0FxaHNlcm1JUWVTVi1PbVIwanlETGNOV25vYnRWbHctbVBZS3VhaGtTSV9VcTRIV2RmaFJhaGY1VWFBcDdoRUFMd193Y0I.*_gcl_au*MjEzOTIxMTE3NS4xNzY4MzQ0NjIy*_ga*NDUwNzYwMDUwLjE3NjgzNDQ2MjI.*_ga_NMXDG28T1Y*czE3Njk5MDEyNDQkbzE0JGcxJHQxNzY5OTA0NjAyJGo2MCRsMCRoMA..*_ga_CS91N9E37D*czE3Njk5MDEyNDQkbzE0JGcxJHQxNzY5OTA0NjAyJGo1NiRsMCRoMA.." rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://transfers.palaceresorts.com/</a>).
