6:00 pm - 11:45 pm
Wedding Ceremony will begin promptly at 6:30 pm. Please arrive at 6:00 pm. Our Cocktail Hour will follow at 7:00 pm. Our Reception will start at 8:00 pm. Please note that we will have an open bar—so if you hear someone insist they “always knew these two were perfect together,” just know that speech was sponsored by Arsema's favorite espresso martinis.
4:00 pm - 11:00 pm
Please arrive at 4:00 pm. A Melsi is the traditional secondary day of an Eritrean wedding, focusing on cultural celebration, traditional attire and music. Please come ready to be immersed in Eritrean food, beauty and culture. And who could forget—yet another open bar, where guests arrive as polite relatives and leave as highly confident backup dancers.
