Wedding FAQ

May 29th, 2007 by Nick Verwymeren

So we’ve had a few questions about the wedding especially from people coming from Canada. So I thought I’d write a short FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) to clear things up. Here we go:

What’s the best way to get out to Shelter Island from Manhattan?
The easiest way is to take the bus. Visit the Hampton Jitney website to book tickets. When looking at the timetable you’ll want to make sure the bus runs to Greenport which is where you’ll get off.

What’s the deal with the ferry?
There is a North Ferry and South Ferry. Mostly everyone will be taking the North Ferry from Greenport. To drive across it’s $9US one way plus $2US for each passenger. To walk across one way it costs $2US. The ferry runs from 5:40am to 11:45pm.

How long does it take to get from Shelter Island to JFK or LaGuardia?
That really depends on what time of dayy. If you’re going during rush hour travel time will be at least 2.5 hours. This means you’ll want to leave 4.5 hours before your flight leaves if it’s international. Under normal driving conditions it should take just under 2 hours.

What should I wear?
It will most likely be hot. So if you’re trying to decide between that stuffy suit or a nice pair of shorts, wear the shorts!

What kind of gift should I bring?
Sara and I have tons of stuff to ship to Australia so for now we are asking for monetary gifts so that we can buy the items we need when we get back to Australia. Please don’t feel this is rude or anything. It would really be the best way possible to help us.

Got any more questions? Email them to us and we’ll let you know.
