If coming for us wasn’t enough, there's heaps of other fun things to post on your instagram...

First up: mezcal. For that, Oaxaca is the holy land. Hit up a distillery, watch it get made, and, most importantly, taste all different kinds (responsibly, of course. ...or not. Lolo won't judge you). And if you're lazy, we also hope to have a still in-operation at the wedding reception.

Then there are the ruins. Ancient. Epic. Falling apart, so better come quick. Walk through history, climb to the top if you're an overachiever, and soak in the views that've been around way way longer than it took for us to make our wedding website. It’s the perfect mix of “huh, humans are incredible” (human sacrifice pits notwithstanding) and “okay, I need that cocktail after all" (see above).

And if you hunger for something more modern, Oaxaca’s got a grip of lovely markets, wild botanical gardens, three dozen newly minted michelin restaurants that won't ruin you, and even more incredible street food that also won't ruin you. It'll be pretty easy to see how it's became one of our favorite places...

Oh — and if you need an excuse to extend your trip after coming all this way, Mexico's big Day of the Dead holiday festival is the weekend after, something Oaxaca is especially known for. Shucks.

Oaxaca has endless hotel and AirBNB options. Here are a few swankier options in easy locations — but there are loads of pretty darn inexpensive but stellar spots you can find with a few clicks on booking.com or your corporation of choice.

That said, we recommend booking your accommodations as soon as possible, since the following weekend is Mexico's famous Day of the Dead celebrations — a big deal in Oaxaca and particularly spectacular time to be in Oaxaca, by all accounts, in case you need an excuse to extend your stay.

Anyway, if you're looking for something easy, here are a couple of our favorite fancier options that are def pretty stellar (if not a bit pricey):
