This is totally casual, wear what you feel good in!
This is open to ALL guests to come together before the wedding and visit a little! So many people are coming from out of town, we decided against having a traditional "rehearsal dinner." This is an open market-style venue in which you can get appetizers or meals from a variety of places. There is tons of room outside if it's a little busy inside, and you get an amazing view of downtown Tampa. There is limited free parking here, but there is tons of parking for $5, so carpool! https://armatureworks.com
3:00 pm - 3:45 pm
Beach formal - dressed up, but comfortable for the FL heat. Dress shorts are more than ok for the guys!
A small walk is required to get to the ceremony site. Sunset will occur at 6:30pm - time will be allowed to get to Reception site at Clearwater Beach for sunset photos.
5:00 pm - 11:00 pm
Cocktail Hour will start at 5:00pm. You can make your way over at your own leisure. Spend time in the gardens after the ceremony or head on over to the beach and have a look around! Parking: There are 21 free parking spaces labeled, "LIBRARY / REC CENTER PARKING ONLY - MUST OBTAIN PERMIT INQUIRE WITHIN." There will be an employee giving out these passes when you arrive. This is first come, first served; I recommend carpooling. There will be spaces you can park in for a fee in addition to the 21 they have for the library. The library will be closed at this time so all available library parking will be going towards the wedding event. Dinner will tentatively be served at around 6:30pm. We are going to cater Moe's Southwest Grill: Mexican Restaurant & Tex Mex Grill - there will be vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-friendly options. Please see full details for more info on their website if desired: https://www.moes.com/diets/gluten-friendly

Bagels at our apartment complex! We thought this would be an easy way to touch base one last time if desired and say goodbye before ya'll head home or move on to other Florida adventures. We are going to get bagels from our favorite bagel company: St. Pete Bagel Co. There is a community lounge that's nice and spacious next to the pool that's closest to our apartment. Feel free to bring a swimsuit and lay out and relax!
