Cocktail/Semi-Formal
The church is in Calallen in northwest Corpus Christi, about a 20-25 minute drive from the reception venue. Please plan to arrive a little early in order to find a seat, as the ceremony will begin promptly. The A/C works very well in the church, so you might want to bring a light sweater.
5:30 pm - 6:30 pm
The Omni Corpus Christi Hotel, located along the famous Corpus Christi Bayfront, is an easy 20-25 minute drive from the church. If you are a guest of the hotel, you can park in the garage; otherwise, you can find free parking across the street close to the water and gazebos, or metered parking along the side streets. When you arrive at the Omni, you have the option to enjoy some tasty snacks and mingling in the Bayfront Room, take a walk along the bay with views of the USS Lexington, or even take a quick nap!
6:45 pm - 11:00 pm
Let's get this party started! Dinner will be served around 6:45 PM, with dancing and merriment to follow all night long!
11:00 am - 3:00 pm
Beachwear
The newlyweds welcome anyone who wants to stay an extra day to join them for a beach day on Padre Island! The Holiday Inn on North Padre Island has a free parking lot right by the beach. We will coordinate timing and carpools during the reception the night before, but if you already know you'd like to join us, please indicate it when you RSVP (and don't forget to pack a swimsuit and towel!). BYOB (no glass), please. Please note that given the summer crowds, this is an informal and we may be spread out in pockets across the beach, but we'll find each other! *If the beach is absolutely packed, we will notify you of any alternative plan! Just be sure to leave your phone number on the sign-up sheet at the reception.
