Our Wedding

Lucia and Bill's love story began in the halls of the University of Michigan in 2019, where they found themselves sharing classes and running in similar circles. While the connection was there from the start, it took a little persistence on Bill's part—after asking Lucia out three times, she finally said yes on October 18th, 2019. Sometimes the best things are worth waiting for. What started as a college romance deepened in ways they never expected during the unprecedented spring of 2020. When the world shut down and everything became uncertain, they found certainty in each other. Bill spent a month in Arizona with Lucia's family that summer, which solidified something special between them. After graduation, they faced their biggest challenge yet: maintaining their relationship across the country. Lucia moved to Seattle while Bill headed to New York City. For a year, FaceTime calls, cross-country flights, and careful planning became part of everyday life. In the summer of 2022, Bill made the move to Seattle, closing the distance and opening the door to the next chapter together. Living in the same city again allowed their relationship to flourish in new ways as they built a life together, exploring the Pacific Northwest and growing stronger with each shared experience. All of this led them to Maui, where against the backdrop of paradise, they took the next step in their journey together. From college sweethearts to engaged couple, their story has been one of patience, persistence, and choosing each other through every chapter. They can't wait to celebrate this next adventure with all of you!

How to Get There

We are so excited to celebrate with you in San Miguel de Allende! Getting there is very manageable with a bit of planning—here are the best ways to make your trip as smooth as possible. --- Option 1 (Best): Fly Direct or One US Stop to Querétaro or León The easiest way to reach San Miguel is to fly directly (or with a US connection) into one of the two nearby airports: - Querétaro (QRO) - ~60-75 minutes by car to SMA- León / Bajío (BJX) – ~90-100 minutes by car to SMA Transportation options:- Taxi/Uber (readily available)- Private car service (recommended for comfort and ease) If you can find a direct or 1-stop flight into either airport, this is by far the simplest and most seamless option. Important Notes: Flights to QRO and BJX from the US are limited. We recommend booking as early as possible to guarantee availability. We recommend connecting through the U.S., not within Mexico. While some itineraries may route you through Mexico City before continuing to Querétaro, this requires:- Clearing immigration and customs in Mexico City- Collecting and re-checking your bags- Going back through security In most cases, this adds time and complexity without any real benefit. If you are connecting, aim for a U.S. connection into QRO or BJX. --- Option 2: Fly to Mexico City (CDMX) + Private Transfer If flights into QRO or BJX are limited or expensive, a great backup option is to fly directly into Mexico City (CDMX / MEX). Getting to San Miguel~3-4 hours by car- Private drivers (most popular and comfortable)- Shared shuttle or van services This option works especially well if:- You’re coming from a major U.S. city with nonstop service to Mexico City- You prefer more flight flexibility or better pricing We recommend arranging a private transfer or shared van rather than booking a connecting flight within Mexico. --- Need Help? If you’re deciding between airports or flight options, feel free to reach out—we’re more than happy to help you choose the best route. We can’t wait to celebrate with you in San Miguel de Allende!!
