We're very sorry, but we do need to start the ceremony on time and can't wait for you. We'll take lots of pictures for you! ;-)
With loved ones coming from across PA, MA, NH and god-knows where else... we've decided against having a rehearsal dinner or any formal event. We plan on heading to the Hilton's hotel bar for a very informal meet & greet Friday night. It's a cash bar and we'll have some apps laid out for our guests. We'll spend a few hours there greeting people as they arrive and sharing a few drinks.
Absolutely not. Downtown Philly has amazing hotels and all are within a short Uber ride. The Hilton is about 1/4 mile walk to the boat launch, but there are others that are fairly close as well.
After the boat re-docks about 10:00 PM, we'll be heading to the nearby Liberty Point bar for another drink or two.
