Dear Guests, We are so excited to finally share our wedding plans with you. We will be getting married in Guadalajara, Jalisco on March 13, 2027.

Your presence in our lives means so much to us, and we cannot wait to celebrate together. Our hope is that this weekend will be filled with love, joy, and memories we will cherish forever, surrounded by the people who love and support us most. We look forward to receiving your RSVPs, and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. With love,Miranda &amp; Christian

Our Wedding

Christian and Miranda’s story began in the most unexpected of places — a parking garage elevator at the Mills Building.Christian had been working there for years when Miranda started working in the building. One ordinary day, while waiting for the elevator, their paths crossed for the very first time. Later that day, Christian confidently told his friends and family that he had just met his future wife.From small smiles and lighthearted small talk during that first elevator ride, something special sparked. What started as casual “How was your weekend?” conversations and chance run-ins around the building slowly turned into something neither of them could ignore.For six months, they shared quick chats, lingering smiles, and perfectly timed encounters — until Christian finally asked Miranda for her number. From that moment on, they’ve been inseparable.Though they’ve both since moved on from working at the Mills Building, it will always hold a special place in their hearts. It’s where their story began — where a simple elevator ride turned into forever. That’s why it felt only fitting to return to that very place to capture their engagement photos, honoring the beginning of a love story that will last a lifetime.

Q + A

Travel To Guadalajara

For guests traveling to Guadalajara, we recommend flying into Guadalajara International Airport (GDL), officially known as Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla Guadalajara International Airport. This is the main airport serving Guadalajara and the best option for wedding weekend travel. We recommend booking flights early and comparing options based on your departure city, budget, and preferred airline.

Traveling From El Paso:

For our guests traveling from the El Paso area, the easiest option may be to fly from Ciudad Juárez International Airport (CJS) directly to Guadalajara International Airport (GDL). There are often direct flight options from Ciudad Juárez to Guadalajara, which may be more convenient and affordable than flying from El Paso with a connection. The two airlines with daily non-stops are Viva Aerobus and Volaris Guests may also choose to fly out of El Paso International Airport (ELP), though flights from El Paso to Guadalajara will typically require a connection. Please compare both CJS and ELP when booking your trip.

Travel from Other U.S Cities

Ciudad Juárez / El Paso area: Viva Aerobus, VolarisHouston: United, Viva Aerobus, VolarisDallas/Fort Worth: American Airlines, VolarisSan Antonio: VolarisDenver: Aeromexico, VolarisPhoenix: American Airlines, VolarisLos Angeles: Aeromexico, Alaska, Viva Aerobus, VolarisNew York City area / Newark: VolarisLas Vegas: Aeromexico, Viva Aerobus, VolarisChicago: Aeromexico, United, Viva Aerobus, Volaris Routes and schedules may change before March 2027, so please confirm directly with the airline or Google Flights before booking

Airport Transportation & Ride Share

Guadalajara International Airport (GDL) is located outside the main city area, so guests should plan transportation from the airport to their hotel or Airbnb. Rideshare services, airport taxis, and private transportation options are available in Guadalajara. For convenience, we recommend arranging transportation ahead of time or using a rideshare service once you arrive. If you are staying in the Andares / Puerta de Hierro area, travel time from the airport may vary depending on traffic, so please plan accordingly. More details about wedding weekend transportation will be shared closer to the wedding date.

Where to Stay

We kindly recommend that our guests stay in the Andares / Puerta de Hierro area of Guadalajara. This is one of the safest, most convenient, and most popular areas of the city, with many restaurants, cafés, shops, hotels, and nightlife nearby. Staying in this area will also help us coordinate transportation throughout the wedding weekend, especially for guests traveling from El Paso and out of town. For reference, Plaza Andares is the main landmark we recommend staying nearby. Staying in this area will also help make transportation and wedding weekend logistics easier for everyone. Guests are welcome to stay wherever they feel most comfortable, but we strongly recommend booking near Andares for convenience.

Below are several hotel options guests may want to consider. These are not required, but they are good options based on location, convenience, and access to restaurants, shopping, and transportation.Please book directly through the hotel or your preferred travel website.
