Note from Mia:

My mom & I & kids will be arriving at FMG to dress at 2:30. We need a minimum of 30 minutes alone to settle in. Perhaps the bridal party photos can be taken during that time ?
The outdoor Waterfall Ceremony begins at 6pm. The bridal party will be taken at 5pm to the hiding spot near the Waterfall. Please let us know what time the bridal party should arrive prior to the ceremony (Sun Sep 4, 2022). The bridal party meeting spot is the FMG gift shop.
