THE WEDDING DAY

SATURDAY 2 MAY FROM 1.00 PM TO 1.00 AM

CASA DELLE TERRE FORTE

The moment we've all been waiting for (or at least Emma's been patiently waiting for).. THE WEDDING! 

As we appreciate not everyone will be able to fly out on the Friday, we've decided to give ourselves a later start on the Saturday to accommodate any Saturday early morning travellers, as well as those that are likely to burn in the midday sun!

TIMELINE

As such, we ask that you please arrive at Casa delle Terre Forti for 1.00 pm, where refreshments will be served to keep you all hydrated. 

The Ceremony will take place at 2.00 pm (which I've been told is the most important part) - so please make sure you're there in plenty of time! 

Further refreshments and light bites will be served at the Wedding Reception, around 3.00 pm. 

Don't fill up too much though, as the Wedding Breakfast will be shortly after and you'll need to have room for all the courses! 

Be sure to bring a change of shoes, as you'll be invited to the dance floor to boogie the night away. For those of you who might not want to dance, make sure you bring an outfit change of a swimsuit or swimming trunks instead! 

Whilst we've forecast sunny spells with a light tropical breeze (~24°C), it does get cold in the evening (~13°C) so we'd recommend you bring a couple of layers for later on.

THE POST-WEDDING PARTY DAY *UPDATED*

SUNDAY 3 MAY FROM 12.00PM TO 6PM

Location: Grand Hotel Baia Verde

The reason we chose a bank holiday weekend for our wedding was so we could extend the celebration to the following day too! 

As most of our guests are staying at the same hotel, we've decided to keep our plan local so we can spend more time with everyone. We'll be hosting a day by the sea / pool at our hotel, Grand Hotel Baia Verde - you'll find the location on the "Where to Stay" tab. 

Drinks and nibbles will be provided. It's bound to be hot, so make sure you bring your swimmers to take a refreshing dip in the ocean! Suncream is advised but not essential (if you're a greek god)!

Timing's are not strict, so feel free to come and go as you please. We appreciate some guests will be flying back on the Sunday, so if you fancy a flying visit that's fine by us! 

PS. This is completely optional, so if you'd rather spend your bank holiday weekend exploring Catania please do, but just make sure you let us know via the RSVP in advance please!  

ATTIRE

Ladies - We are abroad, so don't be afraid to wear an outfit with a pop of colour! However, pale blue is reserved for our Bridesmaids. 

Gentlemen - Same as above, colourful suits are appreciated but no need to wear a tie! 

We've provided some photos below to help if you need some inspiration:
