We want to welcome you to Costa Rica with some of our favorite treats after a day of travel. Let's get this party officially started!
9:00 am - 1:00 pm
We suggest you dress comfortably and prepare to be on your feet during the tour.
Ok, yes, we realllllly like coffee. Leslie and I would love to have you join us for the tour and lunch at Hacienda Alsacia! Please let us know if you will need transportation. The cost for transportation and tour is $40/person. You can also grab lunch/coffee/dessert while there. You will definitely want to plan to bring home a bag of the coffee grown on the farm. It's fantastic! If you would like to just sit and enjoy the scenery and cafe, but would like to opt out of the tour, that's ok too. Transportation only $10/person. The view is incredible! We think you will love it.

In the USA, for a wedding to be legal, it usually involves a trip to the courthouse for a license before the wedding and a few signatures after the ceremony. In both Nicaragua and Costa Rica, for a wedding to be legal, a civil wedding ceremony is conducted before the wedding by a lawyer. For Christians, there is typically a civil ceremony followed by a religious ceremony conducted by a pastor either on a separate day or in the afternoon after a morning civil ceremony. We decided to join the traditions of an American rehearsal dinner the night before the traditional wedding ceremony with the Nicaraguan boda civil or civil ceremony. Please join us for our civil wedding ceremony followed by a traditional Nicaraguan fritanga-style cookout hosted and prepared by the groom's family. Por favor, unete con nosotros mientras que combinamos los tradiciones del boda civil y la cena del familia del novio que en los EEUU sucede la noche antes de la boda.Celebraremos con una cena típico!
8:00 pm - 11:00 pm
Join us for his & hers after parties. Ladies, please join us for snacks, drinks and flower arranging in the bride's building. Men will be hanging out in the bar area for pool, cards, cigars and other man things.

It's the main event folks! Please help us create a reverent ceremony by keeping all phones, cameras or tablets stored away during the entrance of the bridal party and duration of the ceremony. We want this time to be focused completely on one another and God's faithfulness in our lives, with you as our witnesses. We trust our fabulous photographers to document this special moment for us. Es el evento principal! Ayudanos mantener un ambiente de reverencia por guardar sus teléfonos, cameras, y tablets durante la marcha del novia y toda la ceremonia. Deseamos que esa sea un tiempo para enfocar completamente en uno a otro, la fidelidad de Dio en nuestros vidas, con ustedes como testigos. Confiamos en nuestros fotógrafos para documentar ese momento tan especial para nosotros.
