Our Wedding

Luke and Olivia first met at UConn, where they bonded over their mutual love for biology.…well…sort of. It was mostly Luke doing the talking (believe it or not) while Olivia tried to steer the conversation back to each other. They somehow survived the semester, even though Luke was always late to study sessions and Olivia had a tendency to confuse “microscope” and “telescope” (maybe he made her a little nervous). Unfortunately, the end of the semester meant they no longer had an excuse to see each other. Luckily, Luke worked up the courage to ask Olivia out on their first date to the most romantic dinner he knew of…pizza. But, this wasn’t just any pizza date! It turns out, it was up to them to finally answer the age-old question: Sally’s or Pepe’s? Thankfully they both agreed on the obvious winner (Pepe’s) …and the rest is history. Fast forward four apartments, two dogs, and many pizzas later, Luke and Olivia now live in New York City. Some of their favorite things to do are Central Park walks, re-watching episodes of The Office, and of course, traveling. That’s why they would love for you to join them in the birthplace of pizza to help celebrate their love!

Wedding Party

We would love for you to join us in Italy for our wedding!To keep the trip manageable, here are some travel suggestions:(and for even more details, check out <a href="https://www.ricksteves.com/travel-tips/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rick Steves</a>)

Flights

For flights from the U.S., your best option is likely to fly into Fiumicino airport (FCO) on the outskirts of Rome. A single roundtrip standard economy seat typically costs ~$500 from NYC airports. Keep an eye out for deals as low as $400, but they are rare! Flying into Naples airport (NAP) is also an option, but is likely more expensive and may require a connection.Open these links in a new page to check flights:<a href="https://www.skyscanner.com/routes/nyca/rome/new-york-to-rome.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">skyscanner</a>, <a href="https://www.google.com/flights?sxsrf=AJOqlzWCR8wITRoTsaSs2bmz6DZqQrJJUw%3A1675028288040&amp;source=flun&amp;uitype=cuAA&amp;hl=en&amp;gl=us&amp;curr=USD&amp;tfs=CAEQAhopEgoyMDIzLTAyLTEyag0IAhIJL20vMDJfMjg2cgwIAhIIL20vMDZjNjIaKRIKMjAyMy0wMi0yMWoMCAISCC9tLzA2YzYycg0IAhIJL20vMDJfMjg2emhDalJJWkdVd1FrdEVUbTF2VDJkQldIZ3lTMUZDUnkwdExTMHRMUzB0TFhsemNYUXpPRUZCUVVGQlIxQlhOVEJCUXpGdlJFRkJFZ0p1S2hvTENLVHJBaEFDR2dOVlUwUTRBM0NrNndJPQ%3D%3D&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiZs-PQ3u38AhVTg4kEHT1zAt0Qlhd6BAg0EC4" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">google</a>, <a href="https://www.expedia.com/lp/flights/nyc/rom/new-york-to-rome?locale=en_US&amp;semcid=US.MULTILOBF.GOOGLE.OD-c-EN.FLIGHT&amp;semdtl=a117675646229.b1138125143426.r1.g1kwd-307183108289.i1.d1608993878216.e1c.j19067609.k1.f1.n1.l1g.h1e.m1&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiAz9ieBhCIARIsACB0oGJuqtTlLujDa4B32-VUxEFhsUu3Zb4TIvvRJK9jytTWE4WkWujhIlQaAgnFEALw_wcB" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">expedia</a>, <a href="https://www.ita-airways.com/en_us/offers/all-offers/offer-detail.html?from=NYC&amp;to=ROM&amp;WT.mc_id=search_Google_GenericRoutes_US&amp;WT.srch=1&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiAz9ieBhCIARIsACB0oGIxEqPQCY629wIm3ggnFMMNb2SAFdaH3o3_QvBjIJrCJf4zkvl4qnIaAg1-EALw_wcB&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ITA</a>, <a href="https://www.delta.com/flight-search/book-a-flight?cacheKeySuffix=654453c4-e182-4c27-b4e5-5c19847e4869" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">delta</a>, <a href="https://www.kayak.com/flight-routes/New-York-NYC/Rome-ROM" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">kayak</a>, <a href="https://www.orbitz.com/lp/flights/178293/179899/new-york-to-rome" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">orbitz</a>, <a href="https://www.cheapflights.com/flights-to-rome/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">cheapflights</a>*according to <a href="https://blog.google/products/travel/how-to-find-the-best-deal-on-your-next-flight/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">google</a>, the best time to book flights for our wedding will be the last week in May (~129 days out)

Getting around

You can rent a car if you prefer, but Italy has a great <a href="https://www.italiarail.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">rail system</a>...use it! Fiumicino airport to Rome:If you are landing in Fiumicino, you first need to get a ride into Rome itself. The Leonardo Express is a 30min ride, ~€18 one-way, and can be booked ahead of time <a href="https://leonardo-express.com/en/tour/airport-rome-leonardo-express/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>. There's also a bus option on the website, and Uber is available in Rome, but not in Sorrento. Highspeed rail from Rome to NaplesBook ahead of time!Rome to Naples on Trenitalia - if booked at least a month in advance will be €15-20 per person one-way (~1hr 15min ride...at almost 200miles/hour!). Naples to Sorrento (wedding venue)Train: The Circumvesuviana travels from Naples to Sorrento (~1hr), tickets can be purchased at kiosks in Naples station for ~€5.Ferry: You can take a <a href="https://www.ferryhopper.com/en/ferry-routes/direct/ferry-naples-sorrento-traghetti" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ferry</a> from the Naples docks to Sorrento (45min) for ~€13. You will likely need to get a taxi/uber from the train station to the docks in Naples.Car: Hiring a car service is an option for ~€100-150 Getting around the Amalfi Coast (Sorrento, Positano, Capri)Ferry: A 30min or less boat ride will get you from Sorrento to Positano or Capri, ~€16-20 (Book at least a month in advance!)Local bus: ride the SITA bus on a windy, cliff-edge road to travel between Sorrento and Positano - not for the faint of heart! Tickets can be purchased in local markets, ~€5.There's no uber in Sorrento, but there are taxis.

Travel

First and foremost, plan on eating lots of pasta, enjoying fresh olive oil and gelato, and drinking wine in the country that's been perfecting these things for thousands of years! Between meals, try to squeeze in as much sightseeing as possible, whether it's simply walking the streets or touring the Colosseum.

Sorrento and the Amalfi coast

Sorrento<a href="https://www.sorrentoinsider.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sorrento </a>is perched on top of a cliff overlooking the Bay of Naples and is known as "the gateway to the Amalfi coast."It's a great town to wander around, packed with <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1ZuM2R7vYUijPelW4DNCo_1AXq55UrHk&amp;usp=sharing" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">restaurants and scenery</a>.Our wedding venue is in the town center, and <a href="https://www.sorrentoreview.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sorrento</a> is a great hub for traveling to Positano/the Amalfi coast, Capri, Pompei, and Naples.If you're looking to swim in Sorrento, beach access is a little complicated. There's a small public beach betwen the marinas and a handful of "beach platforms" owned by the more expensive hotels. Your best bet might be to book a hotel/rental with a pool, or plan on a beach day in <a href="https://www.enjoythecoast.it/en/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Positano</a>.

Florence, Siena, Pisa, San Gimignano

If you travel north of Rome, Florence is a great city to explore for a day or two and can be used as a hub to visit Siena, Pisa, and San Gimignano as well.toursintuscany.com<a href="https://www.ricksteves.com/europe/italy/florence" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">See what Rick says</a>

Things to Do

Where is the wedding?Our wedding is at the <a href="https://excelsiorvittoria.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria</a> in <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/80067+Sorrento,+Metropolitan+City+of+Naples,+Italy/@41.4647887,11.9757087,7z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x133b99536dbf5b61:0x2644eb57abc0ce40!8m2!3d40.6262925!4d14.3757985" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sorrento</a>, Italy What will the weather be like?Sorrento in early October typically ranges between 55-73 degrees throughout the day, with slight chances of rain as the dry season comes to an end. Do I need to get euro's € from my bank before the trip?Not necessarily. You'll likely be charged extra fees and have to guess an amount. Instead, first check with your bank to see if you can make ATM withdrawals while in Italy with lower or no fees. Informing your bank/card company that you are traveling is always a good idea too. For suggestions on money/spending in Italy, check out <a href="https://www.ricksteves.com/travel-tips/money" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rick Steves</a> Will my cell phone work?That depends on your carrier/plan, double-check with them. You'll be able to use the wifi in your hotel and most restaurants.

You can get a moneybelt, avoid storing valuables/cash in easy-to-reach luggage pockets, and try to be as organized as possible! The places to really watch out are in train stations/airports (especially Rome).Here's <a href="https://www.ricksteves.com/travel-tips/theft-scams" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rick</a> with more details You don't have to tip in Europe, right?Tipping is not expected, but for good service you can leave a euro per person. You may see one or both of the following charges on your bill at restaurants:servizio (10-15% service charge) - tip is built in; extra tip not neededcoperta (€1-3 per person cover charge for bread/oil/cutlery/linens/etc.)For taxis, you can round up the cost to tip. I need coffee. How do I get it?Coffee in Italy is espresso-based, try a cappuccino to be more like the locals. The closest thing to American-style drip coffee is a caffe americano. You can order either of these in one of the many coffee shops that you'll come across. I don't speak Italian. Will I survive?Here's some basic words and phrases, most people you encounter will probably speak English or know the basics, but it's always nice to start off conversations with a "good day" Good day – Buon giorno – Bwohn-johr-nohHi / Bye (informal) – Ciao! – ChowGood bye (formal) – Arrivederci – Ahr-ree-veh-dehr-cheeExcuse me – Mi scusi – Mee Skoo–zeeDo you speak English? – Parla Inglese? – Parh-la een-glay-zehPlease – Per favore – Pehr fah-voh-rehThank you – Grazie – Grah-tsee-ehYou’re welcome – Prego – Preh-gohHouse wine – Vino della casa – Vee-noh del-lah car-sahWhere’s the bathroom? – Dov’è il bagno?&nbsp;– Doh-veh eel bahn-yoh?Exit – Uscita&nbsp;– Ooh-shee-tah
