What you need to know:

Time-Line
Austyn's Parents, Austyn and Brian will be leaving from Chicago the 20th of June. We are caravaning down to Holden Beach, NC, hauling all the food, decorations, beverages, clothing and everything else that is needed for the wedding to happen. We will be arriving to Holden Beach on Saturday, 21st. Brian's parents will be arriving Sunday on the Island. We are planning on Sunday and Monday to just relax and enjoy, and begin to get decorations/food and all that fun stuff rolling and put together. Tuesday is the wedding day! Brian and I don't know yet what time we will get married - we are waiting for the tide's timing and all that fun stuff - but it will be in the afternoon/early evening on Tuesday, the 24th. From there, the reception will take place following the wedding (with pictures in between). Then Brian and I will leave for Maya Riviera, early Wednesday morning.

Housing
There is a list on the right side of the screen that has the links to house rentals. Most of the house rentals have check-ins being Saturday, the 21st. There are a few hotels in the surrounding areas, yet none on the island itself. There could be a possibility that there is a room or at least a bed available in one of the rental houses, but please just e-mail us and we could get that ball rolling if needed.

***there is new information on a conference center on Oak Island (the island just "north" of Holden) that are giving us quotes for rooms. We don't have any in depth information yet, but once we know, we'll spread the word around.

Airports
The closest airports include: Wilmington and Myrtle Beach (SC).

Transportation from Airports
If you fly into Wilmington or Myrtle Beach, we may be able to pick you up - again, just let us know.

Ya Gotta Eat
Food on the Island isn't really found. Be prepared to chip in on food expense during the stay, or take a trip to the Walmart or Food Lion that's located in Wilmington (30 minute drive).
