Thursday19November

Wedding day

1:30 pm

The ransom of the bride: come watch Zhenya earn his keep!

Freshly groomed and reasonably presentable, Ouzo Daddy and its crew are escorting Zhenya straight into the ultimate gauntlet. He’s got one mission: survive the challenges, pay the ransoms, and prove he’s actually worthy of buying the bride!

If he passes every test of love, wit, and loyalty, his prize is an exclusive first look at his stunning bride before anyone else lays eyes on her.

Attendance is entirely optional, but showing up to cheer (and heckle) is strongly encouraged!

Meet at: The northernmost dock, closest to the concierge desk
What to bring: Parasols and sunglasses, and join us in style
Dress code: Come dressed for the wedding, which follows right after

3:30 pm

All hands on deck: the main event!

The wait is officially over! Our Windward Wastrel and Leeward Layabout are joining forces, setting their course, and embarking on the lifelong voyage of marriage. Two sides, same slackers: finally tying the knot!

Please gather by the concierge desk by 3:00 pm to catch your ride and be whisked away to the beach. The ceremony begins promptly at 3:30 pm.

Don’t get left adrift! Be there on time!

Gather at: The concierge desk, by 3:00 pm
Ceremony begins: 3:30 pm sharp
Where: On the beach; rides leave from the concierge desk

Three cocktails on a driftwood log on a beach at sunset: a margarita, a mojito and a tropical punch with a paper umbrella.

5 to 6 pm

Cocktail hour

The vows are done, which means it’s time to celebrate. The bride and groom are sneaking off for a quick sunset escape on the water, leaving you with one very important job: grab a drink on them, enjoy the view, and start mingling with the crew.

Raise a glass and hold down the fort until the captain and first mate return!

Bar: The open bar opens right away, with standard cocktails as well as our favorites

$Two champagne glasses clinking over a candlelit dinner table by the sea, set with grilled dishes and a Greek salad.$

6:30 pm

Dinner: a taste of the journey

We will be sharing a taste of where this next chapter began. Every dish on our menu is inspired by our engagement trip. Grab a fork, raise a glass, and enjoy the adventure!

A DJ booth at night beside a basket of glow sticks, with string lights and coloured stage lights over a wooden dance floor.

8:45 pm

Formalities: completed. Party mode: activated.

The vows are locked down, the ransom is paid, the traditions have been survived, and the weird stuff is out of the way. Now comes the real assignment: clear the floor and dance until they kick us out!

No more standing on ceremony: grab a fresh drink, leave your dignity at your seat, and let’s blow the roof off this place!

A beach bonfire at night ringed by chairs, blankets, tiki torches, a guitar and a drum.

Midnight

Eviction notice: the after-party moves on!

They’ve booted us from the dance floor, but the night is still young! We’re adventuring to a low-key spot where we won’t wake the entire island.

Come gather around the fire, pull up a seat, and share some laughs. If you’ve got rhythm, bring it! We might just have to make our own soundtrack from here.
