Since our rehearsal will be simple and sweet, we're asking you to join us and eat! Just some simple foods will do, hot dogs, burgers, and even some booze! There is a pool if you'd like to swim, and there's no judging so don't worry if you haven't hit the gym. :)
5:00 pm - 5:30 pm
Semi-Formal
The actual location of the ceremony on the beach will not be decided upon until the day of the wedding. Therefore, we ask that you arrive between 4:00-4:30PM so that you make be directed to the proper location and take your seat in a timely fashion. As you turn off of Gulf Blvd (at the 7 Eleven - turn right if you're coming from Clearwater/Indian Rocks and turn left if you're coming from St Petes/Pass-A-Grille), you'll follow W Gulf Blvd along the the coast until you reach the Sunset Beach Pavilion. That's the only and best parking lot as it becomes a dead end. Check the beach entrance or small boardwalk furthest away from the Pavilion for directions to our ceremony! At most, you'll be walking for 5 minutes in the warm and gorgeous sand!
7:00 pm - 11:00 pm
Immediately following the ceremony, you're invited to head to the reception venue while we finish up with our pictures! Attached to the Silas Steakhouse, the Pine Key Lodge is to the right of the restaurant entrance! We'll be inside for food, drinks, and dancing! Be sure to let us know your favorite song so we can play it! There is also an outdoor area that is covered, and alcoholic beverages ARE permitted on the patio. Enjoy the outdoor activities such as corn-hole, connect-four, and even the fire pit provided by the restaurant!
11:00 pm
Join us after the reception, across the street and down a block, at one of our favorite beach bars! This again is totally optional (& drinks are on you), but it wouldn't be a night in St. Pete's for Sam & I without a trip there! Change into something comfy, or follow us in wearing our wedding attire!
2:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Casual!
You're all so very near & dear to us, please don't be upset. If you weren't invited to the wedding, it's because we've saved you for the best! Join us for a picnic to celebrate our wedding! There will be PLENTY of food and you can come and go as you wish throughout the day. We'll also have some alcoholic beverages provided - you're welcome to bring your favorites - and plenty of games and activities to take part in!
