Due to circumstances beyond our control, we simply could not nail down a location within the timeframe needed to ensure everyone and everything was in place. It happens! :) So, why not make it exciting and extra special?
Well - our story is this . . . It starts out with a tall blonde enters an Elks Lodge looking to meet up and play bingo with her girlfriends and ends with the tall blonde falling in love with the love of her life. Okay, so enough of the mushy stuff, let's get down to the details. Tina was in the middle of a lengthy job search and needed a break. She was invited to join her friends for "Monday Funday - aka Bingo" at the Villas Elks Lodge. She arrived early (I know, that's a miracle in itself). She rang the bell for entry into the private club and the handsome bartender in his gruff voice stated, "Where's your card?". She was a bit nervous after hearing rumors about this private club. But she just smiled and said she was meeting friends. He then proceeded to ask who they were, and she thought., "Geez I'm getting the third degree here. Ha!" She continued to inform the silver haired stately man of her business and then waited, and he kindly showed her a table and told her to have a seat that he was sure they would soon be there. Her friends arrived shortly, and Bingo ensued. Over the next few weeks, Tina decided to continue and join her friends to keep a keen eye out for that "silver fox". One week her friend asked her to stay behind for a glass of wine. Conversation between Tina and Jim started when they discovered they had a mutual Facebook connection. Facebook friend requests between the two were accepted, chats began, and the flirting started. Within a few weeks Tina found herself at another establishment playing Music Trivia when she received a message from Jim. He casually asked where she was, and she replied. He said he would be right there. Panic ensued! But needless to say, the first date went fantastically and ended in a wonderful kiss! Ever since then, we have been inseparable. Some saying we are like two bookends. We've traveled together, enjoyed each other's ups and downs and can't wait to spend the rest of our lives together!
We will be having our favorite DJ - Teddy rock the tunes for us during cocktail hour and dinner. Afterwards, we welcome the Dinamics on stage with their rock and roll amazing band. Get ready to dance the night away!
We will host an open bar for our guest during our event until 7pm. Feel free to enjoy the wonderful drinks and awesome bartenders from the Villas Fishing Club.
Bar opens at 3PM!! Enjoy!
The short answer is no. You don't have to wear a suit. However, it is customary to wear a jacket and tie to a church wedding (hint, hint - and cross your fingers and pray for us). We all know we live in a beach town and we like to dress casual. Just dress your best, no jeans, no cut offs, no tee shirts. Don't you want to look good for your ladies?
