Our Wedding

Move-in day at our college, freshman year. Andrea was putting up band posters (Paramore and Blink-182) Huseyin was walking around the floor introducing himself to everyone. He gets to Andrea's room and says "Hey, I like those bands". They hit it off immediately, next thing you know 2 weeks later they are a couple. 10 years later they welcomed their friends and family to their wedding.

It all started when...

Q + A

**DISCLAIMERS**Please make sure you plan every part of your travel plans. This includes how to get from the airport/train station to the venue and your overnight stay location. Think about car rentals and note that Uber/Lyft services are not as reliable in this area since it's not a super-populated area. Consider planning with others who you know are going to carpool as well. Give you and your party enough time to get to the venue BEFORE 2 pm!! If you aren't here before the ceremony starts, you will have to wait until the ceremony is over to join the reception.If you have any questions, please reach out to us. Thank you!

There will ALWAYS be traffic/delays that the GPS won't take into account! Andrea would know and can't stress this enough that the original ETA isn't always accurate! Long Island is approx 3+ hours.NYC is approx 2+ hours.Massachusetts is approx 3+ hours.Connecticut is approx 1 1/2+ hours.New Jersey is approx 3+ hours. Anywhere else... up to you to figure out ;)

Hotel/Overnight Stays

Hello friends and family! With the Pekdemir wedding happening 1 week from today, we would like to remind our guests about a few things: 1. DRESS WARM. Right now, it says the high temperature in LaGrangeville will be 46 degrees on Saturday. The ceremony is outside, so please wear a warm coat, and if you're wearing a dress, then I suggest wearing tights/stockings. 2. BOOK HOTEL. If you plan on staying in the area Friday and Saturday night, then don't forget to book your hotel! 3. CONFIRM TRAVEL DETAILS. Please make your arrangements for travel so you have plenty of time to arrive before the ceremony (venue doors open at 1 PM, ceremony starts at 2 PM). Please note that if you are relying on Uber/Lyft/taxi service, then you have to give it plenty of time, as it's a rural area, so there might not be a lot of drivers. We suggest carpooling if you know anyone who is coming. 4. REGISTRY. On the Registry tab, it will show the different payment methods if you'd like to contribute to our new house fund. Donating through the Knot website has a transaction fee (we still get all the proceeds), but there is also Andrea's CashApp, PayPal, and there will, of course, be a card box at the venue to secure any cards/checks. We appreciate it so much!!!!! Please reach out to either one of us if you have any questions! See you guys in a week!
