FINAL CRUISE PAYMENT IS DUE SEPTEMBER 9, 2019 Getting to Port Canaveral,&nbsp;Florida:&nbsp; Guests may choose to fly or drive to the port. All wedding guests have priority ship boarding, so we can get on the ship as early as 10am on January 4th. The bride and groom plan on taking advantage of hitting the pool on the ship before the crowd arrives! Please plan on arriving no later than 3pm at the port of departure. Please remember that while the temperatures on the islands will be around 90&nbsp;degrees, there may be snowy conditions in North Carolina. It would be advised to arrive to Florida the day before departure to avoid flight delays or road blocks due to winter conditions&nbsp;that may conflict&nbsp;with the ship departure time. The bride and groom are choosing to fly into Florida the day before the cruise (Jan 3rd). We will be staying at the Hilton in Melbourne Fl the night before. Rehearsal&nbsp;Dinner:&nbsp; The rehearsal dinner will be open to guests who are participating in the wedding (bridal party, grooms party, and&nbsp;family members). Wedding Day: Guests can begin being seated at 10:30 am. Pre-arranged transportation will bring the guests from the ship to the venue. The ceremony will begin at 11am. The bride and groom, families, and wedding party will take pictures until 12pm on the sand and then from 1-2pm on the ship. Non-wedding party guests are free to explore the island until the reception at 2pm. Reception is held at the Bliss Lounge and will be from 2-4pm. The reception will have an open bar, food, cake, and live DJ. The comprehensive menu and the list of spirits, beers, and wines will all be under the photo album tab. We cannot wait to vacation with you!&nbsp; Xoxo- Natalie and Alec

Trip Summary

Due to when the ship disembarks from Grand Cayman, the reception will not be available for non-cruising guests. However, the ceremony will still be accessible for all guests because it is not on the ship. We apologize for the inconvenience, there are still a lot of fun things to do on the island!

Our Story

Details

My sister is my Maid of Honor, as if she had a choice! She lives in Colorado where she works for STARZ and codes their apps and interfaces. Alyssa is my favorite gluten-free, dairy-free, introvert in the whole world. She loves cauliflower pizza and a good book.&nbsp;

Matthew Campbell

Madison is Alec's cousin, and I&nbsp;consider her my cousin as well! This sweet girl is a social worker and helps change the lives of kiddos every day. She shares my (expensive) addiction to skincare and shopping. Nobody has more Sephora points than Madison! Oh, and did I mention that she&nbsp;helped me pick my wedding dress?&nbsp;

You can catch her cuddling her two puppies, Molly and Gracie, and loving on her husband, Christian, who is also a groomsman.

Madison Hartman

Allison is Alec's brother's&nbsp;girlfriend, and also a dear friend of mine! She works for a cardiologist (how cool is that?) and is also a dog mom of the cutest Australian Shepherds. Allison always spoils me by making&nbsp;favorite treat, a marshmallow fruit concoction. This Italian girl is a pro in the kitchen!Allison also helped me decide on my wedding dress, and of course Alec's brother, Matthew, is also a groomsman.

Allison Bedics

Jacqueline was my first friend in college! She lived across the hall from me in our freshman year dorm, and then we even had our first apartment together!&nbsp;She is the sassiest girl I know, and I&nbsp;wouldn't have it any other way. &nbsp;She has her dream job right now, conducting clinical trials on pharmaceutical products exclusively for women. Oh, and Jackie is a mean competitor when it comes to tennis and played for Meredith all four years!

Jacqueline Benton

Caroline and I&nbsp;became close friends in our Italian classes at Meredith. She also shared an apartment with&nbsp;Jacqueline and me. Caroline gets to work with diamonds every day, as a jewelry connoisseur, and her taste in clothes and accessories proves it!&nbsp;I can always count on Caroline for sharing a roll of sushi at Sushi Thai or binge-watching reality tv with me! Also, keep a look out for her big blue eyes, they are the prettiest pair you will ever see!
