We are almost there!

6 weeks and 2 days left to be exact!  We have some exciting news to report and some reminders.

First, the reminder - Please RSVP!  Tomorrow is the last day.  If you can't come, we understand, but please RSVP.  It probably is normal for all couples to go through this before their wedding to have to track down people to confirm definitively from the non-responders they are not coming, but you can save us a lot of  time if you just go online and RSVP.  We even made it electronic so you don't have to drive to the post office and drop off mail! (If you are not coming and you RSVP'ed, we appreciate your effort!)

Now to the good news-  The hotel was able to set us space for a patio cocktail hour!  We are super excited about this one.  Originally we had said wedding reception was immediately following the outdoor beach wedding ceremony.  Then, we met with our FABULOUS photographers when we were in Florida in January and they gave us some great ideas.  We started to draft a timeline for taking pictures and one of the fantastic idea was an outdoor cocktail hour.  This event will be great for 2 reasons, 1) the Palm Terrace outdoor patio area is one of the most scenic areas of the resort, with beautiful surroundings, so it will be a great area for our guests to continue to enjoy the great Florida sun and mingle with each other and enjoy the property.  2)  Even though we will be taking some post-ceremony pictures on the beach, you will still see us from the terrace so we won't have completely vanished.  Our guests will enjoy Coconut Fried Shrimp with Pineapple Curry Dipping Sauce, Brochette of Beef with Bell Pepper Peppercorn Sauce, and Petit Crab Cakes with Creole Remoulade for appetizers during this cocktail hour, all with open bar, around one to two hours before sunset!  We have a feeling our guests will be happy with this new setup. :)
