Reception

Our Wedding

I met Mary in a bar. Ok it was a restaurant. I sent her an ab shot highlighting my inguinal ligaments. She was hooked. She fell in love and wanting to marry me ever since. I found my true love of this world. This wonderful woman fills me up. She loves me for all that I am, for all that I was, for all that I will ever be. She captured my heart and stole my soul. And it is good.

Garza Blanca Resort & Spa Los Cabos

We will be staying at the Garza Blanca Resort and Spa from May 1st to May 5th. Hopefully most of you already have made arrangements. PLEASE do your best to book at this resort. Security at the resort is strict and those staying offsite will not be allowed access to the premises. There are no day passes issued for outside guests. Everyone is travelling a great distance and we would hate to limit our time together just to the ceremony aboard the yacht. Again, please book soon! We have discovered calling direct may allow the best rate. If all rooms are booked consider using third party options such as Travelocity or Hotel.com. In addition, there are rooms available through Airbnb and VRBO at Garza Blanca. If booking through one of these websites the prices usually do not include the all inclusive food and drink package. It is possible to add this to your stay with a fee at the time of check in.

We are flying American Airlines out of Phoenix to Cabo (SJD) on flight 2646 leaving at 9:50 am and arriving at 11:55 am. If you have never been to Mexico and specifically Cabo, make your way past baggage claim and all the way to the outdoor transportation area. You must survive the gauntlet of timeshare salespeople who will try and distract you by trying to help you find your driver. Don't stop for the heavy solicitation. I would recommend booking transportation to the resort ahead of time vs hiring a cab. Both work. I do not believe Uber works out of SJD airport. The drive is around 30 minutes. For ease and peace of mind it is often possible to have Garza Blanca assist in booking your paid transportation at the time of your hotel booking or booking third party which may have better rates. I will attach the link to book transportation. Rates typically run around $75 for five people and $85 for eleven. According to Coastal Properties the six best Cabo airport shuttles are: Cabo Transfers, Transcabo, Cielito Lindo, All Ways Cabo Transportation, Blue Dreams and Cabo Airport Shuttle.

The wedding will take place on Saturday May 3rd at 4:00 pm. Our ceremony will break tradition as we announce our vows in the presence of family and friends aboard the Pelican 17 Yacht. Links to the Yacht specifics are included. Those staying at the Garza Blanca resort will need to be in the lobby at 3:00 pm prepared to board pre-arranged transportation to the marina. Those staying off site (hopefully no one) will need to make individual arrangements to and from the marina. We have arranged transportation to bring guests back to the Garza Blanca Resort to continue the celebration. We will all be aboard the Pelican 17 from 4:00pm to 8:00pm. We will set sail into the San Lucas Bay heading towards the Pacific. Once settled we will all gather to witness the exchange of vows followed immediately with a reception at sea. Entertainment will be provided by DJ De La Vega. There will be an open bar consisting of:Premium Bar Menu-Tequila:&nbsp;Don Julio Blanco, Don Julio Reposado, Don Julio 70-Mezcal:&nbsp;400 Conejos-Vodka:&nbsp;Tito’s Vodka-Rum:&nbsp;Bacardi, Malibu Rum, Havana Rum-Gin:&nbsp;Bombay-Bourbon:&nbsp;Markers Mark-Mexican Beers-Bottled Water-Soft DrinksSignature Cocktails-Pelican Margarita-Paloma-Mexican Michelada-Moscow mule-Vodka Ricky Food will also be provided including:Full menu-Tuna Sashimi w/ serrano chili and lime-Flank steak skewers/peanut sauce or habanero sauce on the side-Catch of the day ceviche tostadas-Baja fish tacos Appetizers-Crudités-Quesadillas-Guacamole-Home-made chips &amp; Pico Gallo Salsa If you have specific dietary needs please plan accordingly ahead of time as special requests are unlikely to be fulfilled while at sea. If you have boujee drink requests throw it in a bag and discretely bring it aboard. If you are caught, I will distract the Captain as you dive overboard. Chance of success for the swim to shore is greater than 50% if still daylight while under 50% after dark. For those who make it back to shore, we will make our way to the busses and back to the resort where we plan to continue the celebration enjoying the views and one another's company from the Garza Blanca Penthouse Suite. Temperatures in early May range between 60-85 degrees and average 72-75 degrees. For you ladies, the average humidity level is around 60%. I would recommend bringing a light jacket for the yacht experience in case the wind picks up and the temperature drop after sundown. May is typically very dry averaging one day of rain per month but it does get the award for the windiest month. We would also recommend if you have a tendency towards sea sickness that you consider medicating prior to boarding the yacht. There are three bathrooms aboard the yacht but preferably one is not designated to those painting the walls with their recent dinner and drink.

Wedding Day Details

Things to do at the resort

This weekend IS about you! Mary and I want everyone to enjoy the Cabo experience! We recognize the tremendous sacrifice involved in joining us for this wedding. We are truly honored to have everyone as witness to our vows. That said, we want you all to explore during your vacation. Enjoy your surroundings. Indulge in the wonderful food and drink. Walk the beach, get your feet wet, look out over the ocean and enjoy the moments with your loved one. Create memories for you! Mary and I plan to be onsite and very much look forward to spending time with you all. If I know Mary, most nights she will have us eating sushi at Hiroshi and lounging by the pool by day sampling the fresh fish menu. Promise made to Mary's mother: there will be no diving with sharks, canyon rappels, or cliff jumps until after the wedding. I almost forgot. This is a chill and relaxed weekend. No play by play from a wedding coordinator dictating every minute of the day. The ONLY thing we ask of our guests is to please be at the marina in time for our scheduled Yacht departure. We want to celebrate every minute with you all. It's awkward if our guests have to drop quarters into the public telescope along the shore to see views of the ceremony.
