Whatever it is, we're pretty sure you'll need a swimsuit.
Our Story, Through Her Eyes
It all started because of Instagram.
I saw a photo of Manuel on his sister's Instagram, who at the time was dating one of my best friends, and I immediately knew I wanted to meet him. So I asked her to introduce us. Not long after, Manuel sent me a message.
.
We started talking about Formula 1, and between traveling and life happening, it took us more than six months to finally meet in person. We actually owe it all to them—they're now happily married and the proud parents of Nico.
When we finally met, it wasn't love at first sight or anything like that. But by the end of the night, we were holding hands.
One date turned into another, then another, and before we knew it, our endless conversations had turned into something more. Then one day, at Café Paraíso, Manuel (despite being very nervous) kissed me. We've been together ever since.
Since then, we've traveled together, moved in together, and become proud parents to four furry babies we've loved with our whole hearts: Totti, Guille, Mocha, and Max.
And the best part? We're just getting started.
Our Story: His Side
It all started with a simple conversation.
One day Daniel said to me, "I want you to meet a friend of mine." Then he literally sent me Mariana's WhatsApp number and said, "Just text her."
Our first conversation was about the Formula 1 race that was happening that weekend... and that was pretty much it.
A few months later, Daniel came to Mexico to visit my sister and decided it was finally time for us to meet. Ironically, it turned out to be one of the worst first dates ever. Daniel and Mariana spent the entire time talking about work (they both worked at Uber), while my sister and I just sat there listening to office stories..
Luckily, the night didn't end there. We all went out afterward, and while nothing particularly exciting happened, one little moment has always stayed with me: on the ride home, our hands found each other in the back seat.
Our second date wasn't exactly unforgettable either. We went go-karting, and honestly... it wasn't nearly as exciting as we'd imagined.
But somewhere along the way, something changed.
Texts turned into voice notes. Voice notes became phone calls. Phone calls turned into sharing photos, and before we knew it, "good morning" and "good night" had become part of our everyday routine.
Not long after, I went through one of the toughest moments of my professional career. A really difficult time. And Mariana was there through all of it—supporting me, teaching me, encouraging me, and helping me get back on my feet when I needed it most.
That's when I realized something very simple, but very important:
I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her.
The Resort: Garza Blanca Cancún
All-Inclusive. Beachfront. With Your Favorite People.
Garza Blanca is located in Costa Mujeres, one of Cancún's most peaceful and exclusive areas. Think private beaches, incredible restaurants, infinity pools, and the Caribbean literally at your doorstep.
More than anything, we didn't want you to come just for the wedding. We wanted this to be a real getaway—a few days to relax, unplug, and celebrate together.
To secure your reservation, all you need is a 30% deposit at the time of booking.
The remaining balance can be paid directly at the hotel's front desk when you arrive.🏖️

A Little Note About Kids
We know many of you will be traveling with your families, and we're so excited to spend this long weekend together in the Caribbean! That's one of the reasons we chose Garza Blanca Cancún—it's a wonderful, family-friendly resort.
That said, we want all the parents to be able to truly relax and celebrate with us. For that reason, all of our wedding events—the Welcome Cocktail on Friday, the Wedding Reception on Saturday, and Sunday's surprise activity—will be adults only.
We hope you'll dance, celebrate, and enjoy every moment with us, worry-free! The hotel offers certified babysitting services that can be arranged directly through the concierge for children staying in your room.
We recommend booking in advance, and we truly appreciate your understanding. We can't wait to celebrate with all of you!
Wedding Colors
Here's a color guide for our three days of celebrating.
Wedding Registry
If you'd like to celebrate us with something extra, we'd be truly grateful if you considered making a donation to one of these incredible animal rescue organizations in Quintana Roo. Supporting the rescue and care of animals means the world to us, and it would make us so happy to share that cause with you.
