Why did we choose Cancun? Porque escogimos Cancun?
We chose Cancun for several reasons. The first one, because we LOVE Cancun. We love the weather, the food, the fun atmosphere and the beach. Cancun is also a central location for both families to meet, from Puerto Rico and from Morelia, and for all of our wonderful friends from US.
We also chose Monday as the wedding will be mother's day weekend in Mex and in US. We are excited to spend the weekend with our moms as we haven't done so in +20 years!! Also, to provide you options of traveling on days with less airport traffic and with more affordable prices for everyone.
***Seleccionamos Cancun por varias razones. La primera, nos encanta Cancun. Nos encanta el clima, la comida, el ambiente y la playa. Además, Cancun es un punto central para que nuestras familias se encuentren, desde Puerto Rico, de Morelia y tambien para nuestras amistades que vienen de los Estados Unidos. También seleccionamos el lunes, ya que nos brinda la oportunidad de celebrar el dia de las madres durante el fin de semana con nuestras mamás, ya que no lo hemos podido hacer en mas de 20 años. La fecha tambien provee opciones para viajar en dias de menos tráfico en los aeropuertos y precios accesibles para ustedes.

You can also take a taxi or public transportation to go to the local market (Mercado 28) which is similar to a flea market where you may find local Mexican handcrafts and souvenirs.

Cancun is quite a safe destination and most visitors enjoy their vacations without any unfortunate incidents, but it's important to maintain awareness of what's going on around you so that you can respond to any danger or untoward situation that may develop.
Do I need to take pesos to Mexico? - Necesito llevar Pesos a Mexico?
Not necessary. It is possible to get by without having pesos.US dollars are accepted in many places. However, if you want to get the best bang for your buck and save money on your trip, it’s a good idea to use pesos instead.
This is because you’ll almost always get a better currency exchange rate when using Mexican pesos compared to US dollars. There are many nearby places to exchange once you get to the hotel zone.

What should I wear to the wedding? Vestimenta para la boda.
Preferably wear a cocktail attire (ladies, NO white). Knee-length or longer but floor-length is not necessary. It is more formal than a sundress and less risqué than something you'd wear to a nightclub.
For more information visit: www.theknot.com/content/cocktail-wedding-attire?
*********Preferiblemente vista un vestido de coctail (Chicas, No blanco). Largos a la rodilla o más abajo. Un traje de cocktail es más elegante que un traje de verano, pero menos provocativo que algo que usaria para un nightclub. Para mas información, visite
