Question
Should I bring anything?
Answer
For our Ceremony on the Beach Our ceremony will take place right on the sand, and to keep things simple, we’re asking guests to bring their own beach chair or blanket for seating. Please note: We will not have extra chairs available, so if you’d like to sit during the ceremony, be sure to bring something comfortable. We appreciate your help in making this a relaxed and memorable celebration! Don't forget to bring sunglasses, hats, and maybe a shawl or light sweater as it can get a bit chilly in the morning
