A cenote has to be the coolest destination for a wedding I've heard yet. So cool! I really enjoyed this, Kay. Good for you guys!

I had a destination wedding in Krabi, Thailand. It was also magical and so cool to have so many of our loved ones come out to celebrate with us.

Your dad’s favorite photo — you peeing in the jungle — captures it perfectly. That’s the real story. Great piece.

Thank you so much. It was a great experience, God forbid I do something "normal" LOL.

I can’t believe you got married at Dos Ojos! I went cave diving there

I did not know you were a cave diver!

It was my only time trying it! I went through my air so fast because I was so scared haha. I love open water diving though

And I am not crazy about open water. I like rocks. Me and marine life have had our issues. I have a story or two about that some day. 😫⛑️

I did a lot of exploration in that cave system.

You are a true badass. From the old school torch to the destination before it was cool wedding. I love learning these things about you.

Love this Kay! I remember Buddy. Cool he made you that platform. Love the German translator. I think you changed around that old adage, something this, something that. You made it a la Yucatán. Getting married in a cave on Dia de los Muertos-- ayyy carumba!

Thank you @Jeanine Kitchel it was a great experience. I still hear from Buddy about once a year. Did you meet his mom?

That had to be the coolest wedding I can imagine! Not to mention, it makes a great story! I know Dos Ojos and remember the area from the old days. You took me back... I'm imagining you guys as divers we used to see at the Carwash Cenote. I'm too chicken to dive, but I always admired those who do. Thanks for sharing this story!

Yes we dove Carwash! I am so glad you have been to Dos Ojos, its a great cave system.
