The wrong order

A barista in Lahug swapped our drinks. Vincent walked back to return Belle's latte and stayed for two hours.

The long way to Bohol

The ferry was four hours late. We played cards with a family from Tagbilaran and agreed we travel well together.

Good to know

Can I bring a plus one?

Please check your invitation for the number of seats reserved in your name. We planned the tables closely and cannot add seats.

Are children welcome?

Children in the entourage are, of course. For everyone else, we are keeping the reception to adults so that parents get a night off.

Is there parking?

The chapel has a small lot that fills early. Casa Ylaya has space for about 60 cars. The shuttle is the easier choice.

Where should out of town guests stay?

Lahug and IT Park are closest to both venues, and the last shuttle stops at IT Park at 11:40 PM.

What about gifts?

Your company is the gift. If you would like to give something more, a card box will be at the reception entrance.

What if my plans change after I reply?

Send the form again with the same email address before 9 January and it replaces your first reply.
