Ann & Brett’s Wedding

OK, so I lied about the information packet: we’re having too much fun sitting on the beach, scuba diving, and eating great Mexican food. Honestly there’s not much more you need to know, and everyone is getting here without any problems. The few tidbits:

* Bring a beach towel if possible. The condos have towels (obviously), but if you want a real beach towel, bring it.  Sunscreen and bug spray are a good idea too.
* Regardless of how you get here (plane, ferry), just take a taxi to the Reef Residencias Condos. All the cab drivers know where this place is. If not, just show them the Spanish directions in your condo reservation packet, or grab another taxi.
* Drop your luggage off in the condo and come find us in 5100. It’s the end unit on the ground floor, in the building closest to the water. If nobody is here, come around to the back… we might be on the beach. If any of the back sliding doors are open or unlocked, come on in and help yourself to cold beer from the fridge! We also have some goodies to get you started.
* For the Friday night rehearsal dinner, plan on gathering near our condo to catch the taxis to Pancho’s Backyard around 6:40pm, OR just meet us at the restaurant at 7pm. Again, any taxi driver should be able to get you there.

* For the wedding ceremony at Mr. Sancho’s beach club, plan on meeting at our condo for taxis at 4:50pm. The beach club is a mile south of Reef Residencias, so it won’t take long. The ceremony will start at 5:15pm.

BTW, the phone number at our condo is 519.488.0367 (US). We can’t check the voice mail, so don’t bother leaving a message You can also call or SMS my cell phone 602.326.7374 if something comes up.

Ann scanned some pages from our Cozumel book describing the restaurants on the island, with some notes on the ones we’ve been to.  Cozumel has some great restaurants.  Ann tends to ask every local we meet for his or her favorites, so we usually avoid the tourist traps.

Just last week Ann and I got our wedding costumes… I mean, outfits… finalized and ready for our Saturday departure to Cozumel. You’re probably wondering what that means in terms of your attire, but wonder no more.

Ann is wearing a dress. Wedding tradition prevents me from knowing more, but I’ve been told it’s a very simple white dress. For the ladies, she recommends casual sun dresses. If you need more specifics, drop Ann a note or give her a call (480.236.8823).

I am wearing khaki pants with a white linen shirt, and sandals. Much like this guy, although much more handsome. Guys, wear whatever is comfortable. For Patrick, I will clarify this by saying your outfit should include at least a shirt and (more importantly) some sort of pants. Suits and/or ties are overkill, but we won’t kick you out.

The wedding ceremony will be in the sand, with the reception on grass and concrete. Wear whatever shoes/sandals are comfortable or feel free to go barefoot.

For the rehearsal dinner at Pancho’s Backyard, I’ll be wearing khaki shorts and a short-sleeve island shirt. Super casual!
