Question

Have you heard about what's happening in Haiti???

Answer

Yes, we have! Don't worry, we want everyone to feel safe and comfortable traveling for our wedding ... so we contacted our Travel Agent for the most up-to-date safety recommendations for traveling to Punta Cana in October. No need to worry about the issues happening in Haiti. Port a Prince (where the issues are happening) is over 9 hours away from Punta Cana and although it is on the same island, the Dominican Republic is a different Country. The Dominican Republic will continue to protect its borders from the conflicts in their neighbording country with safety of Tourists being extremely important to their local economy. I will continue to update the information below as updates are available for travel. Santo Domingo, March 18, 2024 - The regrettable situation facing our neighboring country Haiti has not affected the Dominican Republic, which remains a destination of peace and stability in the Caribbean and Latin America region. The Dominican Republic continues to welcome tourists from around the world with open arms, offering a safe and memorable vacation experience. Business as usual in the Dominican Republic: The Dominican Republic enjoys enviable stability, and the Dominican government has taken decisive measures to ensure the safety of its citizens and visitors. A Safe Tourist Destination: Hotels, resorts, and other tourist facilities in the Dominican Republic are operating normally and implementing all necessary measures to protect the health and safety of their guests. Tourists can enjoy the beautiful beaches, rich culture, and vibrant nightlife of the country without worries. Invitation to Tourists: The Dominican government invites all tourists to enjoy the benefits of the country. The Dominican Republic is an oasis of peace and tranquility in the Caribbean, where you can enjoy an unforgettable vacation.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

For our ceremony, we request guests wear Beach Formal Attire. For men: a linen suit in light colors such as beige, light gray, or blue is a great choice. Pair it with a light-colored dress shirt, a tie that matches the suit (though a tie is not required), and dress shoes that are comfortable. For women: a midi or maxi dress in a light, breezy fabric such as cotton, chiffon, or silk is a great option. Pair it with a pair of heeled sandals (or flat sandals to dance the night away!), a clutch, and simple jewelry to compliment the beachy atmosphere. Please wear solid neutral colors such as tan, sand, khaki, navy blue, or taupe. Although she would like guests in neutral beige colors, the Bride requests no one wear white.
