Question

What is the plan for the weekend?

Answer

The wedding festivities will span the weekend from Friday 12th to Sunday 14th of February at Mt Vernon Lodge in Akaroa. The ceremony and reception will be held on Saturday the 13th February with a start time to be confirmed. We will be at the Lodge on Friday evening and all are welcome to a casual catch up (BYO food and drinks). Exact timing to be confirmed closer to the day. We have access to the Lodge until midday Sunday so will have a post-wedding fry up Sunday morning. Again, specifics to follow.
