FAQs

Question

What are your COVID protocols?

Answer

We are taking COVID seriously and are closely watching the omicron variant. At this time, we plan to have the ceremony and cocktail hour outdoors, and the reception indoors. A few tables will be available on the large porch just outside the reception room for those who feel more comfortable eating outdoors. Access to the porch will be available throughout the evening, and we will also have a lounge area set up on the porch as well. As the situation changes with more data and information, we may change this plan, and will provide updates here. Masks and hand sanitizer will be available, and we will have a few COVID test kits for those who would like to test. If you have any concerns, please reach out to the brides at (305)338-8369 or lovewinswiththeaielloflinns@gmail.com

Question

How did you gals meet?

Answer

We met through an online dating app in 2019. Our first date was trivia night at a local brewery, and it truly was love at first sight. We both knew we'd get married from the moment we saw each other! By our 3rd date, things were getting pretty serious... Amanda got so nervous waiting for Natalie to walk up that she hid behind a bush. We tried our best to recreate that goofy moment with the photo above. Let's hope she doesn't try it again on our wedding day! :)

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP by Dec 1, 2021, unless your invite specifies otherwise. Due to a family emergency, we were delayed in sending some invites and have given those guests a slightly longer time to RSVP.

Answer

As much as we love your little ones, we are only able to accomodate children that are in the wedding party. However, we recognize that some of you will be traveling with your kids, so please know they are welcome at the Saturday Welcome Dinner at the Shuffleboard Club! Please reach out if you have questions!

Question

Where do I park?

Answer

We will be providing transportation from both of our wedding hotels (The Saint Hotel and the Residence Inn Tierra Verde) to our ceremony and reception site (Tampa Bay Watch). Please note, even if you are not a guest of either of these hotels, you may still use the shuttle pickup from these locations. Just let us know where you will need pickup from! Free parking is available at Tampa Bay Watch for those who wish to drive; however, we respectfully ask guests to not drink and drive (join us on the trolley!).

Question

Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Our wedding ceremony will be outdoors on Tampa Bay. The cocktail hour will take place on a covered outdoor porch as we all watch the sunset together. For dinner and dancing, we will move indoors. We plan to have outside tables on the porch for those who would feel more comfortable dining outdoors.

Question

Answer

The ceremony will be taking place on grass, so we recommend either block heels or sandals.

Question

Is it okay to take pictures with our phones and cameras during the wedding?

Are last names changing after the wedding?

Question

Why are you getting married in Tierra Verde/St. Pete area?

Answer

St. Pete is special to us! Not only is it absolutely gorgeous and has all of our favorite things to do (beaches, hiking, art museums, biking, and of course - craft breweries), but is it also an important and inclusive place for the LGBT community. We had a few small trips here during coronavirus and felt this was the perfect place to celebrate our union. We are excited to share this special place with you. We also intentionally are getting married on a three-day weekend so we have more time to share and spend with all our favorite people :)
