Our Wedding

Betting on Forever

Seven has always been a lucky number. And for us, it became the date we started, the day we'll say I do, and everything in between. We met in Madison, Wisconsin in 2022. From day one, it was clear this was something more than just friends, the kind of connection you don't overthink, you just follow. A few dates later, on July 7th, 2022, we made it official. Turns out, that date would end up meaning more than either of us could have imagined. What followed were years of adventures near and far, from the streets of New Orleans to the countryside of Italy, and all the everyday moments in between that quietly turn into a life built together. But it was a trip to Cancun, Mexico for a close friend's engagement party that left a lasting mark. Something about that trip, the warmth, the ocean, the energy of it all, made it one of our favorites. It planted a seed. Then, in September 2025, we finally checked off the top of both our travel bucket lists: Hawaii. Vinny had a surprise in store, and apparently that surprise involved a steep hike to the top of the Crouching Tiger. Somewhere at the top, between catching our breath and taking in the view, Vinny got down on one knee and asked Jason to make it official forever. Spoiler: he said yes. The celebration continued with engagement photos at Turtle Bay, where the beauty of the islands made something click. We knew we wanted to get married on a beach, and we knew just where to find one. On July 7th, 2027, 7/7/27, exactly five years to the day from when it all began, we'll be saying our vows in the Riviera Maya, Mexico. Triple sevens. Lucky by every measure. A full circle moment back to a country that already holds some of our favorite memories, celebrated on the most special date to us, with the friends and family who have meant so much to us along the way.

Things to do at Hotel Xcaret México

Included with your stay

As hotel guests, your All-Fun Inclusive® package covers access to these incredible parks and experiences — plus round-trip transportation to each.

Mexico's iconic eco-park with underground rivers, wildlife, Mayan ruins, coral reefs, and the legendary Xcaret México Espectacular night show with over 300 performers.

Xcaret Park

The most visited zip-line park in the world — plus amphibious vehicles through the jungle, stalactite underground rivers, and a thrilling 5-in-1 waterslide. Open Mon–Sat, 9am–5pm.

Xplor (Day)

The same heart-pounding zip-lines, underground rivers, and amphibious vehicles — all lit by fire torches after dark. An unforgettable nighttime adventure. Mon–Sat, 5:30–11pm.

Xplor Fuego (Night)

A stunning all-inclusive natural water park around a Caribbean inlet — unlimited snorkeling, a 131-ft lighthouse slide, cliff jumps, floating rivers, and unlimited food and drinks. Daily, 8:30am–6pm.

Xel-Há

A half-day sensory adventure where nothing is what it seems — upside-down towns, impossible photo illusions, and challenges that completely trick your mind and senses.

Xenses

Round-trip ferry service to two of Mexico's most beautiful island towns: Isla Mujeres (departing Cancún) and Cozumel (departing Playa del Carmen).

Xcaret Xailing Ferries

On-resort experiences

The resort itself is a destination — here's what to explore without ever leaving the property.

An expanded wellness sanctuary offering hydrotherapy circuits (salts, mud, steam, sauna), yoga, pilates, paddle tennis, tennis, and family spa treatments. Highly recommended.

Muluk Spa

From casual comfort food to refined cuisine curated by celebrated Mexican and international chefs — all within the resort, all stunning in their own way.

20 signature restaurants

Nine themed pools, five new water slides, kayaking, paddleboarding, and lazy river areas spread across the resort's lush themed Casas — plenty to fill a full day.

Pools, slides & rivers

A one-of-a-kind multi-sensory cinema-restaurant experience combining Mexican film and gastronomy, led by a world-renowned chef. Open 24 hours — perfect for a late-night bite.

Xinema

REQUIRES A SEPARATE PURCHASE

Day trips & tours

These experiences venture beyond the resort and are worth every bit of planning. Book in advance — small group sizes fill up fast.

A full-day guided tour to one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World — the ancient Mayan city and its iconic El Castillo pyramid. A truly once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Chichén Itzá

Small-group cenote adventure visiting all four types of cenotes — rappel, zip-lines, kayaking, cliff jumps, and swimming in sacred underground pools. A true bucket-list experience.

Xenotes

A vibrant Mexican fiesta on gondola-style trajineras — live bands, tequila and mezcal open bar, traditional dinner, and dancing all night long. Mon–Sat, check-in from 7pm.

Xoximilco

The wildest adventure park — jet boats, white-water rafting, ropes courses, zip-lines, kayaking, and off-road vehicles through the Riviera Maya jungle. Not for the faint of heart.

Xavage

Sail the Caribbean to Isla Mujeres aboard a modern catamaran — snorkeling over coral reefs, premium open bar, box lunch, and free time exploring the island's white-sand beaches.

Xcaret Catamaran

Combine a guided tour of the ancient walled Mayan city perched above the sea with a full all-inclusive day at the Xel-Há natural water park. The perfect full-day combination.

Tulum ruins + Xel-Há
