It sounds corny but it's true - the best gift of all is having our friends and family join us in celebration of our marriage. Should any of you be feeling particularly generous, though, we kindly request donations to our home down payment fund, which can be found on the Registry link on this site.
The venue is small, rustic, and nestled in the mountains of Taipei. There's a small uneven uphill walk to get to get to the venue so we suggest comfortable footwear (all the better for dancing, too). If you just can't part with your stilettos, bring a pair of shoes to change into at the venue. We want everyone to live their best lives - that means eating, drinking, dancing, and generally being very very merry. It would be great if you could embrace a colorful palette for the ceremonies, as that's what we feel best embodies our vibe! You can never go wrong with formal wear for a wedding, but remember that Taipei is tropical, so keep it light and bright!
If your invitation is addressed to you and your date (either by name or by 'guest'), then sure thing. Otherwise, we kindly request to leave the girl (or boy) you met a few weeks ago at home. The venue is small!
Again, the venue is quite small and pretty rustic so for reasons of safety and numbers, we suggest leaving the kiddos. If you're unable to make arrangements for childcare, please let us know ASAP and we will do our very best to help make necessary arrangements.
We will organize transportation between the venue and the main hotel (Fullerton). Party bus!
We will update this site with all of our wedding-related events so check back often. But rest assured we will have some fun activities planned before and after the wedding that we encourage you to join.
Dinner will be served family style and we've made sure to include items that everyone can partake in (vegetarian, gluten free, omnivorous, etc). If you've got a serious food allergy, let us know beforehand so we can coordinate with our caterer to make sure you don't go hungry.
The public transportation system in Taiwan is pretty great. The MRT is easy, safe, and user friendly. You can use it to get around everywhere. The buses are great too. Consider getting a metro pass which will allow you to use the MRT and bus system. If you get a SIM card, you can register your number at a U-bike kiosk (public bicycles) which will enable you to use the bikes around town for super cheap (our favourite way to get around!) If you're in a rush, Uber or taxis are always available too.
Absolutely. 1) Exchange money at the Taipei airport on arrival. Rates are reasonable, but only bring the newer edition $100 bills, as some places won't take the old ones. 2) While at the airport, also pick up a SIM card for your phone. They're super cheap. But first check with your service provider to make sure your phone is "unlocked." 3) Download What's App on your phone so we can easily stay in touch throughout the weekend.
