Food, Drinks, & Fun in the Sun
8:00 am - 3:30 pm
Bathing suit, cover-up, casual clothes
We'd like to invite all wedding guests to spend the day with us at our wedding resort (Barceló Aruba) for some fun, sun, food, and drinks before you have to get ready for the wedding. Since everyone is not staying at the same place, this will give us a chance to spend the day together and enjoy all the fun that the wedding resort has to offer, including breakfast, lunch, alcohol, drinks, lounging by the pool, swimming at the beach, and more. A one-day pass for all non-Barcelo resort guests is $93/person (includes all food, alcohol, other drinks, pool, beach, etc. beginning at 8 am that day). If you Venmo Mer in advance, she'll have your day pass waiting for you. **You will also use this one-day pass to access the resort when returning for the wedding that evening. The wedding, cocktail hour, and dinner are separate, for which there is no cost for guests.
Wedding
5:00 pm
Examples of Attire: Linen/dress/khaki pants, short-sleeve/long-sleeved button downs, maxi dresses, and sandals
The ceremony will be on the sand, so you can even go shoeless if you want! But, bring shoes for the dinner and after-party. Men - long pants and closed-toe shoes are required for dinner. Women - shoes that are not flip-flops are required for dinner.
Cocktail Hour and Dinner
5:30 pm
The cocktail hour will be on the beach, followed by dinner inside the Italian restaurant L'Olio (note shoe requirements below for men and women for dinner only). Men - long pants and closed-toe shoes are required for dinner. Women - shoes that are not flip-flops are required for dinner.
After Dinner Party
8:00 pm
370 Lloyd G. Smith Boulevard, Noord, Aruba
After speeches, dinner, and cake, we'll head next door to Sopranos Piano Bar for live music and a night of dancing and partying! The piano bar's motto is 'Let's have FUN' (with capital letters), and that is exactly what is going on there. FUN has been what life is all about since Sopranos opened over a decade ago. A refreshingly informal, open-air nightclub, where crowds of regulars mingle with visitors, the bar features a much-talented international piano player, who can take the audience from jazz to Sinatra and from Elton John to the latest hits on request. The piano player will make you happy with music, no doubt about it.
