Please join us for an "apéro dînatoire" (fancy French name for a meal composed of finger foods) following the ceremony. There will be plenty of seating available to rest your feet, but there will not be a seating plan because we want everyone to mingle. Our venue, Scuttlebutt, also has outdoor seating with heaters. If the weather is nice, we might set up the bar outside. Dress accordingly!
