FAQs
Question
Can we bring cash or gifts to the wedding?

We kindly ask guests to avoid bringing cash or gifts to the newlyweds at the wedding. Instead, we recommend using Venmo or giving cash or gifts in person to the couple prior to traveling. This helps ensure the safety of any gifts. Thank you for understanding!
Question

Answer
Sunday, June 15th. Please RSVP online.
Question
What is the dress code for the day of the wedding?
Answer
We would love to see our guests dress to impress! A European wedding calls for bold attire. We encourage Black-Tie attire: Wear floor-length gowns or formal cocktail dresses, suits or tuxes with neckties or bowties. We hope for sunshine, and know we can expect hot weather! Ladies should bring a shawl for the ceremony in the cathedral, as this is a traditional value in Europe.
Question

Answer
Please check that your passport is not expired! Note, an enhanced license is not accepted as a document to travel to Europe.

Question
Getting around once in Sicily?
Answer
While there is no Uber, private drivers, and taxis are available as well as public transportation. NOTE: if you are planning on renting a car and driving in Sicily, make sure you have an international license. What is this? No worries, this is just a paper license that any AAA will give you upon request for +/- $20.
Question
Is there any events I need to keep in mind when visiting Sicily?

Yes! Ferragosto is Friday, August 15th and is a famous public holiday in Italy where everyone celebrates at the beach and towns are empty and shops are closed.

Question
Traveling with my Wedding Day wardrobe?
Answer
Unfortunately, while we never hope it is the case, it could be possible that a luggage gets lost! As this could happen with any traveling. Make sure you have a change of clothes, and any necessities in a carry on. Another helpful tip is to have what you intend on wearing for the wedding day in that carry-on JUST incase.
