Dear Friends and Family,

We can barely believe that the wedding week is upon us! After many months of anticipation and preparation, we are excited to get a chance to celebrate with you all. You have each played an important role in our lives, and we are honored that you will be playing a role in our wedding day.

Enclosed, please find all the details you will need for the wedding weekend. The pages are as follows:  Logistics overview Page 2  Overview of weekend events Page 3  Detailed wedding day schedule Page 6  Map, directions and travel Page 8  Description of roles Page 10

You’ll notice that the weekend is quite packed with events! Please be aware that traffic in Columbus can be rather horrific in the winter, mostly because people don’t know how to deal with snow or ice, so try to plan accordingly.

Thanks again for your help, your support, and your love. We are so excited to get to celebrate together!

TRAVEL SUGGESTIONS

Parking We recommend parking behind the Church in the parking lot at the intersection of Gay and 5th- that lot is secure and free for use by church-goers. Park at Dock 580 is also free and video monitored, and guests are welcome to leave vehicles in the parking lot overnight, should they realize that they would prefer not to drive home 

Shuttles If you are staying at the Loft or the Crowne Plaza hotels, we recommend parking your car and utilizing their shuttle to and from the reception. Please be sure to take down the number of the hotel, so you can call for the shuttle when you are ready to return to the hotel.

Cabs Columbus has a number of cab companies which we recommend using- since everything is in the downtown area, cab fare should be extremely reasonable.

Yellow Cab 614.444.4444 German Village Taxi 614.221.2222 Orange Cab 614.414.0000 Green Cabs 614.221.3800 The Wedding of Erin and Evan 5 January 2013 Wedding weekend details Page 11 of 13
