It's right around the corner! Please read this website carefully for timeline & transportation information.
We've taken selfies in our red jackets in 7 countries (and many states)- but we're so excited to shed the puffers and say "I do" by the waters of sunny Tampa Bay. We can't wait to celebrate with you!
6:30 pm
If you will be in St. Pete on Saturday the 13th, join us on the top of the pier to watch the sun set over the city!
9:00 pm
Show off your best 70s looks!
After watching the sunset on the pier, we'll be heading to Rachel's second home, Good Night John Boy. Dance the night away with us to the oldies, sip a cocktail out of a disco ball, and wish our friend Jae a happy birthday ;)
2:00 pm
A little R & R before the big day! You'll find us spending all afternoon on Sunday at the Hollander pool- if you are staying at the hotel, call to inquire about booking a free cabana! They'll have a poolside DJ going all afternoon. We'll be having dinner at their Tap Room Restaurant later in the evening- but the real focus of the day will be keeping an eye on our fantasy teams.
5:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Please dress in cocktail attire. The ceremony will be on the grass, so be mindful of your heel length!
