Question

So what about this COVID thing?

Answer

Costa Rica's vaccination rate continues to increase (76% as of December) and mask compliance is higher than the US. As such, cases are lower than most of the places we all live in (7-day average of <100 cases/day). https://covidvax.live/location/cri In order to ensure the safest possible environment for all our guests, we are asking or providing the following: --All events will be outdoors --We ask that all guests be fully vaccinated prior to attending --COVID testing for returning to the US via eMed kits or Airport Testing at Liberia (no more than 1 day prior to departure) --"Beer and a Test" option no longer provided due to lack of need/interest. ---Questions about testing? Connect with Ed Eyden at eeyden@gmail.com. He's organizing a group for eMed kits.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Whatever you want! But if you're looking for guidance, here's what we're thinking will be popular- Dress leans casual - think dinner at a beach resort. The weather will be warm and breezy. Ray and Julie will be barefoot for the beach ceremony and you are welcome to as well! Ladies: Beach or sun dresses. Comfortable clothes. Wedges or flats are great for the reception area. No stiletto heels (uneven terrain). Gents: "Anything as long as you don't out-handsome the groom"- Ray. Collars or no, even try out your nicest shorts. Suits discouraged.
