How do I get around Sicily?
The best way to get around Sicily is by car. There are several car rental companies at Catania Airport. We recommend booking Locauto through Autoeurope.
If hiring a car isn't your thing, we are in the planning stages of arranging for a shuttle service to and from Catania Airport to the venue on the day before the wedding.
If you are interested in this service, please contact Rai and Emma directly.

What's the dress code?
To ensure everyone looks and feels their best, we've chosen a "Beach Formal" dress code. While our wedding isn't on the beach, this dress code perfectly captures the elegant yet relaxed atmosphere we envision for our special day. Here are some guidelines to help you plan your attire:
For Men:
- Suits: Lightweight, breathable fabrics like linen, cotton, or seersucker are perfect. Consider a light-colored suit, such as beige, light gray, or pastel shades.
- Shirts: A crisp, well-fitted dress shirt in white or a soft color. You can add a subtle patterned shirt for a bit of personality.
- Trousers: Choose trousers that complement your suit and shirt. Light-colored trousers are recommended, but the choice is yours. Please note, no shorts.
- Footwear: Loafers, boat shoes, or dress sandals. Avoid heavy, formal dress shoes.
- Accessories: A stylish belt, a pocket square for a dash of color, and perhaps a light tie or bow tie. Sunglasses and a light hat can add to the vibe.
For Women:
- Dresses: Opt for light, airy fabrics like chiffon, linen, or cotton in midi or maxi lengths. A flowy sundress or a wrap dress with elegant details such as lace or embroidery is perfect.
- Colors: Embrace soft, summery hues such as pastels, floral prints, or classic neutrals. Avoid overly bold or dark colors.
- Footwear: Sandals, wedges, or espadrilles are ideal. Heels can be tricky on outdoor surfaces, so choose something stable yet stylish.
- Accessories: Simple, elegant jewelry, a wide-brimmed hat, and a light shawl or wrap for cooler evenings. A clutch or small handbag completes the look.
General Tips:
- Fabrics: Focus on breathable, lightweight fabrics to stay comfortable in the summer heat.
- Comfort: Prioritize comfort without sacrificing style. Guests should feel at ease in their attire, especially given the outdoor setting.
- Elegance: Maintain a sense of elegance suitable for a wedding while allowing for a relaxed atmosphere.
What gifts do Rai and Emma want?
Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift of all. However, if you would like to give something extra, we kindly request monetary gifts instead of individual items, because we've lived together now for over 4 years, and we feel we have everything we need to have truly made our house a home.
Any funds you gift to us will be put towards our dream honeymoon, and any remaining amount will help us build an extension to our house as we prepare to start our family.
Thank you for your generosity and support as we embark on this exciting new chapter together.
With love,
Rai & Emma 💖
