Caleb and I have requested the Irish Exit, should you need to leave the reception early, please keep your goodbyes short or don't feel bad for not saying goodbye at all. We don't take offence and we (I) would like as much time to soak up all the dancing and singing. We will see off everyone the next day 🙂 Refer to our invite or website for the schedule and map of the resort.
