Welcome back to Wedding Land.  Rachel and I will be your hosts as you iron out the details of your travel itinerary. Many of you have reached out to us with questions regarding airports, hotels, do you have to get a blowout to come to Long Island...etc.

1.  Of course you have to get a blowout.  You also must get a complete outfit made entirely of linen.

2.  The best airport choice is MacArthur Airport in Long Island.  It's literally a few minutes from the hotel.  Please let us know if you are coming into this airport, and we will help coordinate shuttles to get people to the hotel. Other airport options include Islip (Long Island), JFK (NYC), Laguardia (NYC) and Newark (I guess, if you like...really really want to see New Jersey. Warning: there are no gardens in Newark).  If you choose one of these other airports, let us know and we will put you in touch with other guests coming into this airport.  There are reasonably prices shuttles that will bring groups to Long Island.  Again... MacArthur airport is MINUTES from the hotel.

3. The hotel.  We have blocked rooms at the Ramada Inn.  You MUST tell them that you want to book as part of our block - Cappola/Popson Wedding.  The reason for this is because we have worked out a special rate with the hotel that is going to include a shuttle to and from the wedding.  If you would prefer a different hotel and to provide your own transport to and from the wedding you are more than welcome to stay anywhere you want.  However, we would love to meet everyone for drinks at the hotel bar the Friday night before, and we would also like to continue the wedding fun at the hotel bar after we all go back to the hotel after the ceremony.  Also, every other hotel in the area is a bajillion dollars a night.
                             
                                   The Ramada Inn
                                   1730 North Ocean Avenue
                                   Holtsville, NY 11742
                                   631-758-2900

4.  The day after the wedding we invite everyone to come relax at the beach.  Doesn't that sound nice?      We will pile as many folks as we can into our cars.

5. Registry.  No, we don't have one.

6. Shoes.  We will be on a lawn.  Be comfortable and don't get stuck.

7. We will be in a tent with fans, but don't kid yourself.  Dress for summer weather.

8. About the cocktail party the night before.  We would love to see everyone the night before at the hotel.  The wedding party will have their rehearsal dinner and then head to the hotel for cocktails and welcome hugs from 8-10 for all the guests coming in the night before.  Another great reason to stay at the Ramada.

9.  The wedding reception is BYOB.



10.  Ha-I'm kidding, that would be so mean!

Can't wait to see everyone!  Just an FYI- when we leave our apartment to head to Long Island for the wedding, this will be the last time ever leaving the apartment.  After the wedding, Rachel and I will be moving to Buffalo for school.  Therefore- please do not send anything to our Brooklyn apt after, let's say, July 15th.

If you are sending us mail, please send it to:

83 Old Orchard Lane
Orchard Park, NY
14127

Thank you.  The end.
