Our Story
When Alexia and I got together in October 2020, all we wanted to do was catch up, as we had lost touch after graduating from high school in 2012. We realized that for about 5 years, we had been living a few streets away from each other. We had taken pictures at the same concerts we had attended, but we never saw each other. Everyone talks about perfect timing, but I think everything is perfect in its moment. I am forever indebted to the pandemic for reconnecting me with the most amazing human that I now get to spend the rest of my life with.
-Karen
Karen and I met in high school, and from the start, I thought she was hilarious. A lot has happened since 2012, but I truly believe we found each other again at the perfect time. What started as laughs quickly grew into something so real, and I knew right away that she was the one.
Karen knows me better than anyone, and her love brings me back to myself when I need it most. She pushes me to grow, and I’m better because of her.
We’ve already shared so much, so many dreams, inside jokes, and late-night talks. I can’t wait to be her wife, to travel the world, build a family, and keep writing our story together. She’s my best friend and the love of my life.

San Miguel does not have it’s own airport, but there are two nearby international airports that offer easy access.
BJX - Guanajuato International Airport
1.5 hour drive to San Miguel often the best choice for international flights
QRO - Queretaro International Airport
1.5 hour drive to San Miguel smaller, but very convenient
