What do we wear?

Bring a little bit of everything! Bring beachwear, activewear, something a little fancy for the ceremony and the mehndi (brightly colored western attire is acceptable / ladies can wear a sari)

Question

How do we get to and from the airport?

Answer

We highly recommend considering rental cars as Ubers/lyfts aren’t easy to come by. A good option is www.carrental8.com (rates are the cheapest by far).

What’s the schedule of events?

Answer

We will keep you busy with fun optional group activities for each day we are together (swimming, snorkeling, hiking) but definitely be prepared to give us the entire day of the Mehndi and the ceremony.
