Our Wedding

I met Dorsa on June 15, 2024, in Orange County. She was late, I was underdressed, and somehow that ended up being the perfect start to our story. We took a chance on each other, and it has been the best decision I could have made. Early on, I may have advertised myself as someone who “loves to travel,” but I truly had no idea what was ahead. Since being with Dorsa, we have traveled to five countries across three continents, and we are just getting started. She has opened the world in front of me in ways I never expected—through travel, through love, and through the way she sees life. Over the past two years, we have grown together in so many ways. We have blended cultures, adjusted to each other’s lifestyles, and always tried to put one another first. Dorsa has introduced me to incredible new foods, experiences, and traditions. Her family and friends have also embraced me with so much love and support, and I am deeply thankful for that. On September 22, 2025, on the beautiful Greek island of Milos, our story reached one of its most meaningful milestones when we got engaged. It was a moment I will never forget, and one that perfectly reflected the life we have been building together—full of adventure, love, and gratitude. In December 2025, we bought a house together and started building a home. We are also hoping to welcome a puppy soon. We feel so grateful and blessed to have the love of our family and friends, and we are excited to celebrate our wedding with the people who mean the most to us. Charlie

Travel

The overall dress code for the weekend is Dress to Impress. For the wedding and reception, the dress code is Black Tie / Formal. We recommend elegant attire that is both polished and comfortable for an outdoor or destination setting. Because Antigua in early March is usually warm during the day and cooler in the evening, guests may want to consider: Lightweight formal fabrics, breathable materials, and a light wrap, shawl, or jacket for nighttime. Comfortable dress shoes are also a good idea for walking on cobblestone streets in Antigua. Weather in March is generally pleasant and dry, but evenings can feel noticeably cooler than the daytime. (Weather Spark) What does Black Tie / Formal mean?For men, this may include a tuxedo or a dark formal suit with dress shoes. For women, this may include a floor-length gown, an elegant midi or formal cocktail dress, or similarly formal attire. We mainly want everyone to feel dressed up and celebratory. Should I bring layers?Yes. Even though the days are usually warm, evenings in Antigua can be cool in March, so a light layer is a good idea. (Weather Spark)

Things to Do in Antigua &amp; Beyond If you are arriving early or staying a little longer, Antigua and the surrounding area offer plenty to enjoy before and after the wedding weekend. Antigua itself is a UNESCO World Heritage city known for its colonial architecture, historic ruins, cobblestone streets, and views of nearby volcanoes. Easy Things to Do in Antigua: Explore the historic centerOne of the best ways to enjoy Antigua is simply by walking through town. Guests can spend a relaxed afternoon exploring the charming streets, churches, plazas, cafés, and shops throughout the city’s historic center. Antigua’s layout and preserved colonial landmarks are part of what earned it UNESCO World Heritage status. See the Santa Catalina ArchThe Santa Catalina Arch is one of the most iconic sights in Antigua and a great stop for photos while walking around town. It is one of the city’s best-known landmarks and is right in the middle of the historic area. Visit Cerro de la CruzFor one of the best views of Antigua, guests can visit Cerro de la Cruz, a viewpoint just above the city with panoramic views of Antigua and Volcán de Agua. It is a popular stop for visitors and a great option for a lighter outing. Visit the ruins and museums at Casa Santo DomingoCasa Santo Domingo is one of Antigua’s best-known historic properties, built around the restored remains of the former Santo Domingo convent. It includes museum spaces and preserved ruins, making it a great option for guests who want history, architecture, and a relaxed cultural visit all in one place. (casasantodomingo.com.gt) Kid Friendly Activities: Hobbitenango A hobbit themed eco-park that's nestled high in the mountains outside the charming city of Antigua. It offers a variety of photo spots with stunning views, activities such as archery, mini golf, restaurants and giant swing. Great Options for Thursday or Monday:Relax and enjoy Antigua at a slower paceThursday or Monday can be perfect for a slower day in town — walking the streets, shopping for local goods, enjoying a long lunch, visiting a coffee shop, or spending time at your hotel. Book a spa or pool dayFor guests who want downtime before or after the wedding weekend, a spa afternoon or relaxing at your hotel is a great option. Take a food or coffee outingAntigua is known for its restaurants, cafés, and coffee culture, so a casual food-focused day is an easy and enjoyable plan even without a full tour. Trips for Guests Staying Longer: Pacaya Volcano (5-7 hrs)For guests who want a more adventurous outing, Pacaya Volcano and Calderas Lagoon National Park is one of the region’s best-known nature experiences. It is known for volcanic landscapes, hiking, and dramatic views, and many tours operate from Antigua. (CATA) Lake Atitlán (Full Day + Overnight)Guests staying longer may also want to take a day trip to Lake Atitlán, one of Guatemala’s most famous destinations. It is known for dramatic lake-and-volcano scenery and lakeside towns, and it is commonly paired with nearby sightseeing routes. (biblioteca.inguat.gob.gt) Suggested by Day: Thursday ideas- Arrive, settle in, and explore Antigua- Walk the historic center and see the Santa Catalina Arch- Visit Cerro de la Cruz for views- Enjoy dinner in town Monday ideas- Sleep in and enjoy a relaxed brunch- Visit Casa Santo Domingo or shop in town- Spend a quiet afternoon at Caoba Farms- Book a spa treatment or enjoy your hotel Tuesday ideas- For guests with later flights, enjoy one last breakfast or coffee in Antigua before heading back to Guatemala City- For guests staying longer, Tuesday is a great day for a larger outing such as Pacaya Volcano or Lake Atitlán Antigua is very walkable, but the streets are cobblestoned, so comfortable shoes are a good idea. For bigger outings outside Antigua, we recommend arranging transportation or a guided tour in advance.
