Ten years ago, our first trip together took us to Culebra. We have returned to Puerto Rico many times since, and we could not think of a better place to celebrate our marriage: beach time, good food, music, and everyone we love in one place.

Fly into Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU). Número Uno is roughly a 10-minute drive away; taxi and rideshare are the easiest options.

For the weekend
Arrive Friday—or earlier and make a vacation of it. The main Saturday venues are walkable, so you will not need a car for the celebration itself.

What to wear
Color encouraged
Think relaxed tropical style for sunset drinks on the beach and dinner afterward.
Linen, sundresses, tropical prints, colorful shirts, nice shorts, and sandals are all welcome. No suits, ties, or heels necessary—these are inspiration, not requirements.
Saturday daytime: swimwear and beach clothes. Saturday evening: change into your festive look.
Good to know
A few questions, answered
Why Puerto Rico?+
Ten years ago, our first trip together took us to Culebra. We have returned many times since and could not think of a better place to celebrate our marriage.
Will you already be married?+
Yep! We married in a small family ceremony in Cambridge in July. Puerto Rico is the big, relaxed celebration with our wider circle of family and friends.
What should I bring on Saturday?+
Swimwear, sunscreen, sandals, and whatever you like for a beach day. Leave time to change before sunset cocktails and dinner.
Are the times final?+
Friday evening and Saturday dinner are planned. Beach-day, toast, and Sunday times are still being finalized; check this page again before traveling.
