Wedding Schedule

Please Note: Important Schedule Changes!

We want to let everyone know about an important change to the schedule that may affect your arrival plans in Cuenca. The Paella Cookout, originally scheduled for Friday, May 30, at 11 a.m. has been moved to Thursday, May 29, at 4 p.m. due to an unavoidable conflict. We apologize for the last-minute change, especially to those who planned to arrive on Friday morning specifically for this event. We've hired a bus to take us to the cookout because it is too far to walk (about 10 k outside of town). Please meet at 4 p.m. in front of the Cathedral located in Cuenca's main plaza to catch the bus.

Please also note some minor changes to the meeting times on Saturday evening.
