Calendar of Events

Meet the bridal party!

The Bride's Besties

Jessica is Stephanie's cousin and Maid of Honor. They are two peas in a pod and sometimes can seem like they share the same brain. She and Nate also worked together previously and she helped to reintroduce Steph and Nate to each other. Being such an important person to Steph and a playing a pivotal role in reuniting her with Nate, it was a no-brainer to have her as the MOH!

Jessica

Francis is lowkey the life of the party and can turn any situation into a fun one. He and Steph met in Spanish class in high school and have been best friends ever since. Do they know how to speak Spanish fluently today? No. But have they been best friends for almost 2 decades? Si!

Francis

Shannon is the unicorn of all of Stephanie's BFFs. She is creative, unique, and marches to the beat of her own drum. She can make friends anywhere, with anyone, and brings good vibes wherever she goes. She takes great care of the people she loves most, and Steph knows she can always depend on her!

Shannon

Another high school bestie, Joanie is fierce, positive and is the easiest person to make laugh. She is always down for the next adventure and makes for an excellent hype man - something every bride needs on her big day! That said, Stephanie's bridal party wouldn't be complete without her support.

Joanna

Queennie is Francis' little sister and one of Steph's BFFs. Long story short: Steph and Francis became friends in high school while Queennie and Jessica simultaneously became friends in middle school. The rest is history. And just like Francis, Queennie knows how to have a good time! Seek her out on the dancefloor - You won't regret it.

Queennie

Flower Babies

This day wouldn't be complete without a flower girl... so we've upgraded to flower babies! These 2 are the little cousins of Stephanie and are very chill, down-to-earth siblings who are always down for the ride. Jalen and Jace will help make sure the aisle is extra beautiful and floral-y for the bride on the big day. 

Jalen & Jace

The Groom's 'I Do' Crew

Nate's brother-in-law and the funniest person in any room. Nate and Andrew first met in college in the early stages of Cody and Andrew's relationship. Early on, Andrew easily fit into the family and became like a brother to Nate. Andrew is a creative genius, a comedic goldmine and fits in any circle. Truly one of the easiest persons to converse with. 

Andrew

Nate’s big sister. Nate and Cody easily pick up right where they left off no matter how long they’ve been apart. Cody is down to Earth, easy going and loves her wine. Cody is fun to be around and easy to talk to. Ask her for advice and you’ll get some as if she’s lived a dozen lifetimes - or is it just an honest opinion you just need to hear… find out for yourself. 

Cody

McKenna is the little rave girl in the family and Nate’s little sister. McKenna is quick witted and smarter than she thinks. She’s quiet by choice but is easy to have a conversation with. Don’t be afraid to strike up a conversation with her as she’ll usually carry the conversation.

McKenna

Another one of Nate’s cousins. Tina will laugh at just about anything - You’ll definitely be hearing it throughout our time in Thailand. Tina is fun to be around, easy to talk to and is probably the most outgoing in Nate’s family. 

Tina

Nate’s cousin and Tina’s little brother. Mason is Nate’s old gym partner. He is quiet and shy at first but is down to try new things. He is a good guy with a big heart and Nate is excited to have him be one of his groomsmen.

Mason

The Incredible Parents

Steph's mom is energetic, fun and all about making sure everyone is having a good time. Trust me, she will force you to do the electric slide on the dancefloor because she knows you SECRETLY really, really want to! She will be walking Steph down the aisle and acting as the EMCEE for the big day.

Suzanne is the heart of her family and will help anyone in need. She's always up for a good laugh and her laugh is quite contagious, so be prepared to laugh it off with her. Nate will have the honor of dancing with her during the mother-son dance at the reception.

Suzanne

You can always depend on Mike to be there for the good times and the bad, but as long as he's there, it will always be a good time! Mike will join Steph for the father-daughter dance.

Mike

Sherry is loving, caring and the absolute funniest person ever when she gets a few fruity cocktails in her (so line 'em up, people)! She will walk Stephanie down the aisle with Ivy.

Sherry

There will be plenty of free time to explore away from the planned tours and events. To help get you started, we've compiled a short list of interesting things to see and do on your own while in each different part of Thailand. Have fun exploring!

Bangkok

Feel free to use <a href="https://www.thatch.co/guide/3vqq743k7rq5r/view?s=u54WzvjLiuOm6std5tKhiwCV9mW2&amp;s_f=m_g&amp;s_t=c_l&amp;s_b=n" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">this</a> Bangkok guide (put together by yours truly). It highlights some food, bars, clubs, shopping, or other activities while you're in the city. It's unfortunately not as user-friendly on mobile as it is on desktop, so viewing it in "map" mode is easiest if you're looking at it on your phone. We figured it would be nice to have if you're looking for things to do in your free time.

Bangkok, best known for its wallet-friendly shopping centers and mind-boggling varieties of products, is every shopper's paradise. The&nbsp;air-conditioned shopping malls, floating markets and vast outdoor markets&nbsp;make shopping a MUST in Bangkok! Here are some shopping areas to consider: • Icon Siam• CentralWorld• Siam Paragon• Asiatique The River Front• Terminal 21• Chatuchak Weekend Market• MBK Center• Bangkok Flower Market• Wang Lang Market

Shop till you drop

The&nbsp;Jim Thompson House&nbsp;is a&nbsp;museum&nbsp;in central&nbsp;Bangkok,&nbsp;Thailand, housing the&nbsp;art collection&nbsp;of American businessman and architect&nbsp;Jim Thompson, the museum designer and former owner. Built in 1959, the museum spans one rectangular&nbsp;rai&nbsp;of land (approximately half an acre). Jim Thompson, who started the Thai silk industry after World War II, houses a magnificent collection of Asian art and many unique displays. Dress Code: respectful (covered shoulders, knees, no flip flops, etc)

Jim Thompson House Museum

They say you never go hungry when you’re in Thailand because there is always a food cart located in every direction you take (especially with snacks which will satisfy the most savory or sweet cravings). If you're nervous, don't be. It is safe and a common way that many locals eat. Just make sure you can watch your order being made so as not to get something that has possibly been sitting out. Click <a href="https://migrationology.com/top-16-bangkok-street-food-sanctuaries/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a> to check out a few of the best local places for street food.

What would&nbsp;Bangkok&nbsp;be without its countless spectacular&nbsp;rooftop bars&nbsp;and its breathtaking skyline. The Thai metropolis is actually world-famous for its dizzying sky bars, most of which are located at the very top of the skyscrapers of the best&nbsp;hotels in Bangkok. While enjoying a delicious cocktail or an exclusive dinner, the&nbsp;fascinating view of the city skyline&nbsp;can be enjoyed twice as much at the rooftop bars. Whether during the day, at sunset or at night, a visit to one of these stunning bars is almost a must during a Bangkok trip.&nbsp;Here are a few to consider: • Octave Rooftop Lounge &amp; Bar - Marriott Bangkok Sukhumvit Hotel• Tichuca Rooftop Bar - T-One Building• Above 11 - fraser suites sukhumvit• Bar.Yard - Kimpton Maa-Lai• The Speakeasy Rooftop Bar - Hotel Muse Bangkok• Scarlett Bangkok - Pullman Bangkok Hotel G

Rooftop Bars

Bangkok Chinatown is the largest Chinatown in the world. It is also, quite arguably, one of the best Chinatowns to visit as well. While many countries have Chinatowns, none compare to Bangkok’s. Here's a few things to check out: • Yaorowat Road• Talat Noi• Flower Market

Chinatown

Looking for something to pass the time? A luxury movie experience may be your answer. Visit the Honda Ultimate Screen at Paragon Cineplex (located inside Siam Paragon shopping mall) for a totally unique movie-going experience, complete with pre-movie lounge snacks, pillows and blankets at your seat/bed, tableside service, a dental kit to combat snack breath, and much more. Note: Hollywood movies are in English with Thai subtitles.

Paragon Cineplex

There are 3 main red light districts in Bangkok:&nbsp;Soi Cowboy,&nbsp;Nana Plaza&nbsp;and Patpong. Plenty of go-go bars can be found in any of these Bangkok red light districts but they all have something unique and offer different experience. Bangkok red light districts open daily and the action there usually starts at around 7 pm.

Red light districts

RAILAY BEACH, Krabi

At the top of Phra Nang beach is the famous&nbsp;Phra Nang Cave. For local fishermen, this cave, which is often referred to as the Princess Cave, is sacred. Visit this cave to see the variety of unique offerings aimed to fulfill a long-desired wish of fertility.

Princess Cave (Phra Nang Cave)

The Diamond Cave is a beautiful formation of limestone stalactites and stalagmites and, for a small entrance fee, you can walk through the lit up cave. The walk is not very long and you can see the entire cave in 20 minutes walking at a leisurely pace.

Diamond Cave

The hike to the Railay Beach Viewpoint is a short but tough trek. Yet once at this stunning viewpoint, you’re rewarded with spectacular views of the isthmus below! It’s not a far hike, but it’s a vertigo-inducing and intense climb that’s nearly straight up, so be prepared for that. If you’re afraid of heights, this is not the activity in Railay for you. Hoisting yourself up using nothing but a rope, many begin to second-guess this idea. If this is not an issue, have fun but be careful! If you felt comfortable with the viewpoint ascent, consider continuing onward to Railay’s hidden lagoon. But know this trail is even more treacherous. You’ll see a sign to point you in the right direction. It takes another 10-30 minute climb down to reach the lagoon.

Climb to Railay Viewpoint and Hidden Lagoon

Railay is a premier rock climbing destination in Thailand and one of the best in the world. Those big cliffs surrounding Railay hold rock climbing routes to suit every level of experience. Some rock faces around Railay are even suitable for beginners trying out their first-ever rock climb.&nbsp;

Rock Climbing

Railay sunsets are magical. The formula of beach + ocean + cliffs becomes a perfect recipe when the sun is dropping down into the sea. Head over to Railay West beach to catch this nightly spectacle.

Catch the sunset

Koh Phi Phi Leh

Situated near the entrance of Dalum Bay (Loh Dalum), Monkey Bay is one of Krabi’s best-kept secrets located on a peninsula on Koh Phi Phi Don. It’s only inhabited by the colony of crab-eating macaques. A superb coral reef lies some 50 meters from the beach, offering memorable snorkeling opportunities. Getting there by kayak is fun, but will take you a good 30 minutes per way. Most importantly, do not touch the monkeys and keep your personal belongings nearby!

Kayak to Monkey Bay

One of the best things to do in Koh Phi Phi is to&nbsp;hike to the viewpoints. The island is made up of two large rock formations connected by a large strip of sand. Most visitors to Koh Phi Phi stay in the town which sits on the connecting strip of sand, but make sure to plan part of a day to hike Koh Phi Phi Viewpoints while on the island, you won’t be disappointed.

Phi Phi Viewpoint

Koh Phi Phi Don is known for being a bit wild, so if you’re looking for a fun night out that includes drinking, eating, playing games, dancing and socializing, this is the place for you! There are countless places to party, so all you have to do is wander around, follow the music, order yourself a famous Thailand drink bucket and you’re sure to have an epic night!

Enjoy the nightlife

A quick message from the wedding couple

Hey Everyone, We wanted to ensure this trip is as smooth and easy as possible, so we made the decision to book a travel agent to help accomplish that. However, long story short, their business was acquired and we did not see eye-to-eye with the new owner regarding an affordable trip to Thailand. That said, we will be handling and coordinating this trip ourselves. We kindly ask for your patience and understanding as we jumpstart the Steph &amp; Nate Travel Company (lol) and will share details, costs, and other important info with you once invites are sent. Again, we thank you for your patience. More to come soon. Steph and Nate

Travel Days

As of now, we believe the itinerary will be as follows, but will confirm once formal invites are sent:   January 10 - 25, 2024   1.10 - 1.12: Travel to Thailand 1.12 - 1.15: Bangkok 1.15 - 1.19: Krabi 1.19 - 1.23: Phi Phi Islands 1.23 - 1.25: Bangkok 1.25: Travel to USA

Costs / Initial Deposit

We anticipate formal invites will be sent out no later than August this year with an RSVP deadline toward the end of September. Upon RSVP, we will ask our guests for an initial deposit of $250 per person which will go toward your portion of your trip. This initial deposit will help cover any upfront costs that are required for hotels/vendors when booking large groups. If anything is left over from those upfront costs, they will be placed toward other aspects of your trip, i.e. tours, ground transportation etc. We hope that by stating this now, this will give you enough time to start saving. Once we have more info and confirmed a majority of the trip, we will replicate a "payment plan" to help break up total costs once we have a final rundown. As of now, things are looking great and we're feeling very confident! Can’t wait to share more with you guys later!
