Question

Are kids invited?

Answer

No, children are not invited to the wedding. We have decided to keep our special day an adults-only occasion to allow all our guests, including parents, a chance to relax and enjoy the celebration without any worries. We hope this advance notice helps everyone make necessary arrangements and we look forward to sharing our day with you. Thank you for your understanding and support!

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Some of you may be wondering what 'beach chic' entails, which is an excellent question. Fellas, no tie needed and in the event of the temperature being on the hotter side, no jacket needed either. Ladies, think summer/cocktail dress.

Question

Will there be transportation provided to the venue?

Answer

Yes, we have reserved trolleys that will be picking up guests from both The Resort at Longboat Key Club and The Westin hotel locations and dropping them off at the venue. They will also provide rides back from the venue at the end of the night.

Surprised Rachel on a Thursday afternoon. Met him at his office to head to a "work philanthropy" (of course she was late heading home from work). Then Anthony said they had to "check in" in front of the Field Museum..only to get down on one knee and popped the question ---> Rachel, will you make me the happiest man in the entire universe?
