Jack & Emily
Our Wedding
Message From the Couple
We want to thank all of our friends and family for choosing to celebrate our wedding with us. We understand destination weddings are a big commitment and decisions do not come easily for our guests. We look forward to seeing everyone in May 2025!
RSVP
Please RSVP by October 2024.
If you're responding for you and a guest (or your family), you'll be able to RSVP for your entire group at once.
Please refer to your invitation to apply the correct number of guests in your group.
TRAVEL
You must book through this website when booking your rooms. You may visit Royalton Splash Riviera Cancun to research or look at pictures. It will be discounted and necessary to keep all reservations together by booking through our link.
We highly recommend booking your room reservation immediately due to limited rooms and other weddings happening that weekend. We would hate for guests to have to stay at another hotel. To avoid this please book as soon as possible and set up a payment plan that works best for you.
Flight tickets are to be bought separately. It is up to you how you would like to purchase your plane tickets. We recommend booking your flights by July 2024. When booking please consider transportation from the airport to the resort.
Please make sure you have a VALID passport or you're working on getting one as soon as possible.
DRESS-CODE
Considering the warm and tropical climate, we want everyone to feel comfortable while enjoying the festivities.
WEDDING DAY: While the dress code is not strictly enforced, we recommend lightweight dress shirts and slacks, cocktail dresses, elegant sundresses, or flowy maxi dresses. Please avoid colors traditionally reserved for the bride - white, ivories, and creams.
Q+A
Can I bring a +1?
We are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. If you received a plus one, they will appear on your invitation.
Are children invited?
Due to limited numbers, if your child was invited, they will have their name appear on the formal invitation. If your child's name was not listed, we hope you understand and enjoy your wedding vacation.
Can I take pictures and post them on social media?
Yes! However, the actual ceremony will be unplugged (meaning, no phones or cameras out during the ceremony). We have hired a photographer and videographer to capture the special moments. After the ceremony, please feel free to click away.
Wedding Guide
We will be sending out a wedding guide as we get closer to the special day! This will be helpful information as you prepare and have questions. We will also set up group messaging to send out reminders and information on pre-wedding events.
About Us
Technology brought us together, but distance kept us apart, our hearts and minds left us in love. Our journey has been 7 years of love, travel, hardships, and growth.
Emily and Jack met at Larkin High School in Elgin Illinois. They knew of each other, but never really talked. One day on Twitter Jack decided to send a direct message to Emily. That is where their friendship started. They talked for months, went on dates, went to Prom, and grew feelings. Jack asked Emily to be his girlfriend on May 20, 2016, at a White Sox baseball game. Emily said yes! Emily invited Jack to her church where they became close to God by serving the youth. This created a firm foundation for their relationship to blossom. They both attended Elgin Community College. Jack had dreams to work for Nike and Emily had dreams to become a teacher. In 2019 Jack moved to Oregon to pursue his dreams. Emily moved to Champaign, Illinois to finish her college degree at UIUC. This was the start of their long-distance relationship. They did long distance for 2 and half years. Then they both moved to Austin, Texas. Where Jack currently works for Nike and Sunrun. Emily is currently a fifth-grade teacher. They have lived together in Austin for about 3 years. Fast forward to July 5th, 2023. Jack asked Emily to Marry him. Emily said yes! And those high school sweethearts are getting married! From college, long distance, and so many changes to their lives they continue to learn so much about each other. The good and the bad. They are strong, driven, silly, and thriving together. They cannot wait to celebrate their love and wedding day with you!
