Dear Church-&-Party Guests,

We have received various questions concerning the events during the day and hope here that most of the questions will be answered.

Church service
With the exception of the relatives and friends who will be staying in Amstelveen, we kindly request you to arrange your own transportation to the church. If coming by car, please remember, the church is located in the centre of Amsterdam and Saturday afternoon will be heavy and slow traffic, because of shoppers and tourists. Recommended forms of transportation: canal bikes, normal bikes, stolen bikes, back seat of bikes, squad bikes, trams and (for the clever ones) taxis.

We would appreciate it if everybody would come to the church between 13.15 and 13.45 hours. Upon the service sheet will be handed to you before being seated (or before having a good punch up for the best seats in the house). All guests are expected to train their voices in the bath/shower from today onwards so that we can boast about our private choir.

The Orangerie
The Orangerie – the place where they grew orange trees in the old days – is situated in a lovely park, about half an hour drive from Amsterdam near Haarlem. Directions can be found below.
20.30 hours
Our evening guests are requested to be present around 20.30 hours, when the wedding couple will make their entrance as the start of the evening with bubbly and the cutting of the wedding cake.

Those guests, who wish to rise to the occasion to make a speech or offer any other form of entertainment, are kindly requested to contact the master of ceremony before the wedding day Lheppener@chello.nl

At 12.30 the party will come to an end.

Attire - Eveningwear
The guests who will be with us during the day will have no opportunity to change between church service and the evening party, as one event follows immediately after the other. These guests will be dressed in evening wear already during the church service. There will be long dresses and short dresses, so choose the dress that you feel good in both in church and for the evening—be comfortable and enjoy this happy day.

Gentlemen, no black tie is required. You can come in tuxedo/smoking to support Bill or in any other suit, that gives us all the opportunity to see your fast feet work at the dance floor.

Gifts
Sharkey and Tara are presently living in a small apartment and are hoping and planning to buy a house in the next couple of years. They are not in a position to store an awful lot of gifts in their apartment. It was a spacious apartment until Sharkey moved in with his computers and his complete library. They hope, you will understand their request for a financial gift on their new joint account, where they will save for the furnishing of their new home.

Foto’s
We kindly request you not to take pictures during the wedding ceremony. There will be a professional photographer and all pictures will be posted on http://tarasharkey.blogspot.com
