Countdown
Welcome to the beginning of a new chapter
After so many encounters, travels, stories, and shared experiences, the time has come to celebrate our love alongside the people who have been part of our journey.
We created this space with so much love to invite you to join us not only for our big day, but also for a few special days together. Our celebration begins with Thursday’s lunch and continues until Tuesday morning, with Saturday being the day we say “I do.”
We want to enjoy this occasion at a relaxed pace, raising a glass, sharing conversations, discovering special places, and creating new memories. We know everyone will have their own travel plans, so please feel free to join us for whichever moments are most meaningful to you. Having you with us on Saturday is what matters most, and being able to share the other days together will make everything even more special.
Here, you’ll find all the information you need to plan your trip and enjoy every moment: schedule, accommodation, location, dress code, and recommendations.
Don’t forget to RSVP!
Your confirmation is very important to us, as it will help us prepare everything with love and welcome each of you in the best possible way.
We are so happy to begin this new chapter and to share it with the people we love.
See you soon!
With love,
Milena & Javier
Our story
Our story began with CrossFit workouts and conversations that, little by little, became more meaningful than we could have ever imagined. Through encounters, discoveries, and moments shared together, we began to realize that something special was growing between us — something we wanted to experience and build together.
Along the way, we discovered that love also means admiring, supporting, respecting, and choosing to be present — on peaceful days and through the more difficult ones. We built a relationship based on companionship, freedom, and acceptance, where we can dream together, face challenges, laugh at the little things, and celebrate life.
Today, we look back on everything we have experienced with gratitude and look forward to everything still to come with excitement. We want to keep discovering the world, building a life that reflects who we are, taking care of each other, and creating new memories alongside the people we love.
Because, among so many possible paths, life brought us here. And of all the places we still want to discover, it is together, side by side, that we want to keep moving forward.
Our Celebration Schedule
Our big day will be on April 24, but we’ll be in São Sebastião from Thursday through Tuesday, and we would love to share other special moments with you.
We’ve put together this schedule for those who would like to join us, whether for all the days or just a few. Except on the wedding day, everyone will be responsible for their own expenses. It will be a joy to spend these special days together!
Arrival and Welcome
Arrive, settle in, and start enjoying São Sebastião! In the evening, we’ll suggest a bar or restaurant for anyone who would like to join us for this first get-together, share a meal, raise a glass, and catch up as we kick off these special days together.
Details about the venue and available options will be shared in advance on our website and will also be sent by email.
Sea and Serenity
The morning will be free to enjoy the beach, explore the area, relax, or take in São Sebastião at your own pace. We’ll share a restaurant recommendation for anyone who would like to have lunch with us.
In the afternoon and evening, we’ll take some time to rest and enjoy some free time, with no scheduled activities, so we can recharge and feel refreshed for the following day.
The big day
The day we’ve been waiting for has finally arrived! A day to celebrate our love, be surrounded by the people we love, and share everything we’ve dreamed of for this very special moment.
Sun, Pool & BBQ
After the party, the idea is to enjoy the day together at Mansão Arandella! The morning will be free to enjoy the beach, go on outings, or relax. Later, we’ll get together to enjoy the pool, the barbecue, drinks, and plenty of conversation, continuing the celebration — this time, with no set end time!
Soon, we’ll share more information about the schedule and the costs related to food and drinks for that day.
A Little More of São Sebastião and Ilhabela
We’ll still have one more day to enjoy together! Beach time, outings, a leisurely lunch, or simply relaxing — everyone can enjoy São Sebastião in their own way, with the opportunity to meet up throughout the day.
We’ll soon share more information about the outings we’re planning for those who would like to join us, including details about the activities, costs, and companies responsible for organizing them. This way, everyone can choose which outings they’d like to take part in and plan ahead.
Until We Meet Again
The time has come to say goodbye and continue our journeys. We leave with memories of very special days, so many moments shared, and the happiness of having experienced it all together.
Ceremony
On April 24, 2027, at 4:00 PM, at Casa Arandella, we will say “I do” before God and the people we love. It will be a joy to have you with us for this very special moment!
We kindly ask you to arrive on time, as the ceremony will begin as scheduled.
Attire
Beach Formal
Our celebration will take place by the sea, but we would like to maintain a formal, elegant, and harmonious style. Part of the ceremony will take place near the sand, while the reception and party will be held on solid ground.
For women, we suggest long or midi dresses with an elegant style that suits the atmosphere of the wedding.
As the celebration will take place by the sea, we recommend lightweight fabrics, comfortable silhouettes, and outfits that allow you to enjoy the evening freely.
Regarding the color palette, we kindly ask that you avoid fluorescent or excessively vibrant shades. Soft, neutral tones and other sophisticated colors are more than welcome.
As for footwear, we recommend sandals or shoes that offer comfort and stability, especially given the beachside setting. More structured or chunky heels can be an excellent choice.
Feel free to choose the outfit you prefer. As the celebration will take place by the sea, we suggest an elegant style that suits the setting without compromising on comfort.
We only ask that you avoid outfits in cream, beige, or earthy tones, as these colors will be reserved for the groom.
As for footwear, both dress shoes and white sneakers are welcome.
Padrinos y madrinas:
Tenerlos a nuestro lado hace que este momento sea aún más especial. Elegimos a personas que forman parte de nuestra historia y a quienes queremos tener cerca en todos los capítulos que aún nos quedan por vivir. ¡Qué alegría celebrar este día con ustedes!
