Reception

Our Wedding

Keith and Dani met in the summer of 2009 at Tripp Lake Camp in Poland, Maine. Keith was teaching tennis while Dani was a waterski instructor. Within the first few weeks of meeting one another they became great friends, quickly getting to know each other and enjoying each other's company. By the end of the summer they were inseparable. Differing countries, continents, languages or time zones could not keep them apart.That winter Keith traveled to Bogota, Colombia for a month and a half and got to know Dani's family, country, and best friends. The following summer Dani went to Owego, NY and met Keith's family and friends. They then returned to Tripp Lake Camp to spend the rest of the summer together.They went on to live together in Madrid, Bogota, and a 3rd time at Tripp Lake Camp before Keith went on to New York Chiropractic College. Fortunately Dani was accepted into a Master's program for Bridge Engineering at the University at Buffalo where they were only an hour apart.Following graduation Dani accepted a job in Tallahassee and Keith followed after a year in Miami completing an internship at the VA hospital. They are now happily settled and can't wait to spend the rest of their lives together.

Everlasting Summer Love

Buses will be provided by us from the two most booked hotels. Guests staying at other hotels will have to walk (a very short distance) to meet at the more popular hotels. Time of pickup will be around 2 pm. Drop off to be determined by how long everyone can last on the dance floor. If guests wish to depart for the hotels before buses leave there will be taxis available. The club is within Bogota city limits and a taxi should not be more than $25,000 Colombian pesos (COP).

To and From Wedding

Recommended by Us (Stay at least 2 days before or after the wedding):- Cerro Monserrate (mountain with the best view of the city): definitely a must, if you don't want to hike it and want to save some time there is a tram that takes you up. There is a little market and great Colombian treats at the top. Make sure to get a cup of Canelazo.- Barrio Candelaria (downtown colonial neighborhood): beautiful streets, beautiful plazas, houses great museums (The Gold Museum and Botero Museum are the highlights). Daniela's undergraduate university, Universidad de Los Andes, is at the outskirts of this neighborhood.- Catedral de Sal (giant underground cathedral built by salt miners): located in Zipaquira, a small town outside of Bogota, will need to take a bus to access or if there is a lot of interest we can plan a trip together.- Nightlife: - Andres Carne de Res: great restaurant by day, great club by night- El Fabuloso: best rooftop party in Bogota As recommended by the New York Times - Great article!<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/11/05/travel/what-to-do-in-36-hours-in-bogota-colombia.html">http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/11/05/trav...</a>
