Story

Even though the first time Neel and I met was in a small group of friends, we barely spoke. A few months later, we bumped into each other again, but nothing exciting happened. Months later, Neel invited one of his best friends to San Diego for the weekend, this friend happens to be my sister’s now husband. I almost bailed.
Neel spent the entire weekend flirting with me like crazy. After an amazing weekend with family and friends, Neel asked me to text him when I got home, and we have talked every day since. Turns out, I accidentally left my shirt at his place, and he swears I did it on purpose so I'd have to go back.
We both claimed we didn't want a serious thing, but we had a blast just hanging out. For six months, I'd drive to San Diego for long weekends with Neel, just as "friends." Neel always says these weekends felt like vacation, they totally did. We drunk scootered our way through downtown San Diego to every top-rated restaurant and speakeasy, still just as friends.
Even though everyone around us thought we were kidding ourselves, we aimed to keep our connection simple and lighthearted. Then one day, Neel invited me to breakfast and told me he thought I might be his person and he wanted to see where we could go. I already liked him more than a friend, but I wasn't ready to admit it. Spoiler alert: didn't take me long. I'd already been planning to move to San Diego the year before, so the timing was spot on. Now, looking back, it feels like all this happened both yesterday and a million years ago.

How did you first meet?

See Our Story!

Who's going to take out the trash?

Neel and Frankie.

What was your most memorable date?

Our first long weekend together, we went to Neel's favorite SD restaurant, Born and Raised. We got all dressed up and he made sure we had an amazing table on the rooftop overlooking downtown. It was a breezy night and Neel thought I lost it when I asked the waiter for a blanket. [Hot tip: all the best bougie restaurants always have blankets.] When asked if we were celebrating anything, Neel told the waiter it was our second anniversary. It was only our second date.

Where are you going for your honeymoon?

Anywhere with beautiful beaches!

What's the most memorable trip you have taken together?

Please RSVP as soon as possible so we can have an accurate headcount. :)

Can you help me arrange transportation to/from the airport and resort?

Yes, when you make your reservation using the booking form (via the Vibe Thrive Travel link below) , you will see the option to add on transportation. They will need your flight information 60 days before travel to coordinate transportation to/from airport.

Are kids welcome?

Absolutely yes!

What will the weather be like?

Riviera Maya in May is a delightful blend of hot, humid days and refreshingly cool Caribbean breezes. Picture yourself basking in the warm sunshine for 10 hours each day, with average temperatures ranging from a comfortable 72°F (22°C) to a warm 88°F (31°C).

Are the ceremony and reception locations wheelchair accessible?

Yes.

What should I wear?

Flowy dresses and linen suit vibes.

Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?

Our wedding ceremony and reception are both outdoors, overlooking the beautiful Caribbean Sea.

What kind of shoes should/shouldn't I wear?

Calling all ladies! Do not wear stiletto heels. I repeat, do not wear stiletto heels. Shoes should be able to accommodate sand and wood flooring. Can't have any of you ruining nice shoes or breaking any ankles. We highly recommend comfy shoes to dance the night away.

Is it okay to take pictures with our phones and cameras during the wedding?

We will be hosting a completely unplugged ceremony, but we would absolutely love to see everyone's photos from the rest of the celebrations!
