Question

What Do I Need to Do to Observe a Solar Eclipse?

Answer

Special solar filter sunglasses are required to directly observe a Solar Eclipse. However, even if it is overcast that day, from 1 to 1:30 you may notice a slight change in the behavior of the local wildlife along the Barnegat Bay.

Question

What does our burgee symbolize?

Answer

The personalized burgee that you will see on our invitations was designed by Woody and me. The blue and white flag represents the letter A for Arrix. In the middle of the flag, there is a cypress tree and a gold star. These symbolize Pebble Beach, where we met, and the United States Naval Academy. It resembles the configuration of a Charleston palmetto moon, which is where Caroline attended college.

Question

Are children welcome?

Answer

Unfortunately, children are not permitted at either event.
