No Gift List
"Give us the ride, not the toaster."
— one fund, 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, there is exactly one fund below — no Zola, no Amazon list, no toaster.

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.
