Chad & Emma

Due to the coordination between Canada and the UK, we are hoping to handle some logistics sooner rather than later. If you would please submit your RSVP, as soon as possible, but definitely before October 31, it would really help us out. Thank you!!!

That is totally up to you! If you are planning to arrive just before the wedding, we would suggest trying to arrive in the UK by Wednesday, May 20th. That will allow at least 2 evenings in the UK prior to the wedding, so that you can get the jet lag behind you and you will have the energy to make it to the end of the party! If you are visiting for more days than the wedding itself, we would suggest putting those days before the wedding day. We are hoping to plan a couple days of excursions or suggested places to visit before the wedding day.

We are having the wedding in the county of Kent, in the South East part of England. This means, if you fly into London, we will have to make sure you can get to the nearest city to the venue - Canterbury. There are a few ways to get there and Emma and Chad are happy to help ensure your travel arrangements will get you there in time. However, here are a few methods: 1) Take the Train London has a great train system, though you may not enjoy it as much after a 9 hour flight from Canada. However, it is possible to take the Underground from London Heathrow in the Piccadily Line to Kings Cross Station (yes, the Harry Potter one). From there, it's a short walk (maybe 4-5 minutes) from Kings Cross Station, to St. Pancras Station (it is across the street). From St. Pancras you can take a high-speed train from London, all the way to Canterbury West station. 2) Taxi There are some taxis that can take you direclty from your airport to Canterbury. If this is of interest, let us know and we can put you in touch with Green Light (friends of Emma) that are right out of the local village and make trips to the airport all the time. If you are from England… we are sorry this is focused towards the Canadians; but we figured you know your way around your wee island well enough. That being said, if you need assistance getting anywhere, reach out to Chad… he will give you the best directions. Solid. 100P. You will be in a great spot!

No, the ceremony will be held in the town of Sandwich (30 minutes from Canterbury) and the reception will be in the village of Ickham (10 minutes from Canterbury). They are about 20 minutes drive from each other - but we have arranged transfers for the day for our guests (as much as we can).

While we wanted to make sure that it was an exciting day, we can confirm we were unable to bring any Canadian wildlife out to England. So there will be no bears, beavers nor moose to threaten guests. However, we would remind the Canadians that visit, to be aware that England has some of the nastiest, most dangerous.... plant-life. Keep an eye out for 'stinging nettles' while walking through any green spaces, and avoid it touching your skin. You will regret it if you don't. As Hagrid said, "Mind the nettles".

No, there is no such registry nor list. We are excited for you to join us, we do not expect gifts. :)
