Our Wedding

They first met in 2014 in their biomed class freshman year of highschool but, they didnt start being friends until the next year :P

How we met 

They were 14 when they first met each other just starting to figure out themselves. It took awhile but it was during the summer of 2014 when they started to talk more and become better friends.

How we got together

They got together on Friday December 18, 2015. The day before our school winter break started. He asked her out first hehe

FUN FACT

When Angel took Sabrina aside to ask her to be his girlfriend, Sabrina being the dummy she is at first told him "no." She thought they were cool enough friends that Angel would have known it was a joke. Angel was then shocked (because the night before they established what the Filipinos call a mutual understanding or MU for short). Sabrina then quickly realizing her mistake told him that she was joking and this is when their next chapter starts.

Our Life Together

They've gone through hell and back together: going through the dreadful 4 years of high school, 2 years of pre reqs, an intensive 16-month nursing school program, and figuring out life as new nurses. Its horrendous to go through alone and they couldn't have done it without each other.

High School

College

Adult Life

Angel was planning on proposing during their Japan Trip June 2020; however, the whole trip was cancelled due to covid. So he proposed on their post graduation trip to Hawaii.

Our Timeline

They honestly wanted to get married a long time ago EVEN before graduating; however, there was never a good time. After Angel proposed in 2022, they still had to take their nursing boards and get their first nursing job! Then all of a sudden, they were qualified for a HOUSE!!! They wanted to prioritize getting a house first and then have a special ceremony. By the time they both decided to have a wedding, its early 2024. They always joked around saying they should have their wedding on their 10 year anniversary and it just somehow fit. We wanted to celebrate our special day and our 10yr anniversary with the people we love and cherish. Hope to see you at our wedding!!!

Why did they wait this long for a wedding?

a special thanks to our family and friends who have supported us along the way

we seriously couldn't have made it here without you guys

Important Information

Before you book the hotel

The couple has pre booked a block of rooms with barcelo so we all can get them at a discounted price. We’ll use an example: For one of the junior suites at the most expensive hotel (Rivera Maya) with two adults, the lowest price per night online is over $500. With the discount Barcelo gave us for our wedding, we were able to bring the price down to $303 for 2 adults per night in the junior suite at Rivera Maya.

Premium Status

On top of the couple being able to acquire a discount on the rooms, they were able to make their guests be a part of Barcelo's "Premium" Status. *EVERY GUEST HAS THE PREMIUM STATUS*

Make sure to input your numbers in the hotel that you would prefer to get the most accurate cost. <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ytcVQDjdNUcesa2PwtMmcNZwSLrkvJqrkuW9rGtJb0U/edit?usp=sharing" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Barcelo Hotel Rates</a> These prices are what Barcelo gave the wedding party.

Flight and Transportation

Flight

There are two airports in the area but it is recommended to fly into Cancun International Airport.

Getting there from the airport

The resort is around 1 hour south from the Cancun airport! It is recommended that you reserve a shuttle prior to arrival from a reputable company. It IS NOT recommended you visit without a pre-established shuttle reservation. Taking a random taxi from the airport is an easy way to get scammed. I recommend the peace of mind of knowing the shuttle is safe, the price is pre-established / already paid for, and it is guaranteed to take you directly to the Hotel. The cost for a safe and reliable shuttle to the resort from the Cancun airport is typically around $200.00 USD total round trip for a private vehicle for between 1-8 people in a party.However, the price is less expensive for shared shuttles with other travelers at the risk of longer travel times due to increased number of stops.
