July 2029

The sun was just beginning to rise over the horizon, casting a warm, golden glow across the island of Puerto Rico. Casa Herdz, a luxurious villa perched on the edge of a cliff, stood as a beacon of beauty and tranquility, ready to welcome Pato, Astraea, and their friends for a week of celebration.

The group arrived in the early morning, stepping out of the shuttle bus and taking in the breathtaking view of the ocean below. Pato and Astraea led the way, their excitement palpable as they approached the entrance of what would be their home for the next week.

“Welcome to Casa Herdz, everyone!” Pato announced, his voice filled with joy. “We’ve got a lot to do to get ready for the wedding, but let’s take a moment to enjoy this place.”

The group spread out, exploring the villa with wide-eyed wonder. The spacious rooms, each with its own unique charm, offered stunning views of the ocean. The infinity pool seemed to merge with the sea, creating an illusion of endless water.

Renzo, always the joker, was the first to dive into the pool, splashing water everywhere. “This place is paradise!” he shouted, laughing as he surfaced.

Mari and Isa found their way tto the kitchen, marveling at the state-of-the-art appliances and the array of fresh ingredients waiting to be turned into delicious meals. “We’re going to have some amazing dinners here,” Mari said, already planning out the menu.

Astraea and Alexandra wandered through the gardens, admiring the vibrant tropical flowers. “This is exactly how I imagined it,” Astraea said, her eyes sparkling with happiness. “It’s perfect.”

Charles, Lando, and Carlos made their way to the outdoor terrace, setting up a game of cornhole. “Let’s see who’s got the best aim,” Lando challenged, tossing the first bean bag.

Anais, Calista, Elba, and Santi found their way to the beach, feeling the soft sand between their toes and the gentle waves lapping at their feet. “This is going to be the best week ever,” Calista said, her voice filled with excitement.

After everyone had a chance to explore and settle in, they gathered on the terrace for a welcome brunch. The table was laden with fresh fruits, pastries, and traditional Puerto Rican dishes. The atmosphere was filled with laughter and chatter as they enjoyed their first meal together in this beautiful place.

Pato stood up, raising his glass for a toast. “Thank you all for being here with us. This week is going to be amazing, and we’re so grateful to share it with our closest friends and family. Here’s to love, laughter, and a lifetime of memories!”

The group clinked their glasses together, a chorus of cheers echoing around the terrace. As the day continued, they settled into a rhythm of relaxation and preparation.
