No Gift List
"Give us the ride, not the toaster."
— cash funds, no wishlist
We already own the plates. We are not building a wishlist of things to dust. If you want to give something, give us the ride — the honeymoon, the mezcal, the flights, the long way home.

Your presence in Oaxaca is the gift.
Flying to southern México for a two-day wedding is already generous. Nobody is keeping score, nobody will notice, and there is no envelope quota. If you'd still like to contribute, choose any of the cash routes below — no china, no toaster, no physical gifts to ship.

Old school
The sobre
Mexican weddings run on envelopes. There will be a wooden box by the entrance at Rancho Cebú on Saturday — pesos, dollars, euros, IOUs written on a napkin. All accepted, none required.
What it pays for
- — Three weeks tracing the Oaxacan coast, slowly.
- — A palenque tour that ends badly and well.
- — One absurd dinner neither of us would book alone.
- — A breakfast of pancakes, oysters, and whatever the lawyer orders.
- — One gonzo honeymoon: no itinerary, no refunds, no apologies.
- — A road trip with no map, no GPS, and a full tank of bad ideas.
- — A detour that becomes the whole trip.
- — Whatever is left goes toward a home that isn't rented.
Please don't
- — Ship anything to México. It will not arrive.
- — Bring a boxed gift to the venue. There is nowhere to put it.
- — Feel obliged. Genuinely.
