Our big day

How do I get to the venue?

St Mary's is a five-minute walk away from Oud Metha metro station. For those who'll be driving, you'll find lots of paid parking spaces around the church.

Dubai Creek Park is a 10-minute walk away from the church. And there's lots of free parking next to Gate 5.

If you need a ride from the church to the reception, please let us know at least a week before.

Is there a dress code?

Wear something you love! Dressy casual with a touch of purple or silver. And dancing shoes!

In case the February weather's too chilly, a shawl or jacket would be handy for our outdoor reception.

For members of our entourage, including principal and secondary sponsors, here's a quick and easy guide for you.

Can I bring a date?

With all the craziness that comes with a wedding, we would love to spend as much time as possible with our closest and dearest – thanks for not bringing a guest.

Do I need to bring gifts?

Sharing the day with us is the best gift – especially those flying in from all parts of the world. But if you’d still like to spoil us, cash or anything practical is welcome.

How early do I need to be at the venue?

Be there before the bride, and don't go until the cake is cut. It's best to come at least a half-hour early. This'll give you time to park your car, find yourself a seat, and squeeze in a quick loo break if you get too excited.

What if I have questions or need help at any stage?

You can use the form below or email thehappiesthobbits@gmail.com. You have our undivided attention until 17 February 2017. That's when our loved ones from all over the world will start trickling into Dubai, so we won't be as quick to respond.

On our big day, 25 February 2017, we'll be even busier. But our dearest friends will around to help you. We'll share their contact details a week before our wedding day, but only to those who've RSVP'd.

Can I take photos?

Our time in the church is special to us so, when the wedding march begins, please put down all your gadgets and enjoy every moment with us. The greatest gift you can offer on our big day is just being fully there with us in the sacred ceremony.

Before the wedding march, and at the reception, feel free to snap away. Don't let the evening end without a shot of yourself beside us! And use our hashtag #TheHappiestHobbits when posting on Facebook or Instagram.

Do I really need to RSVP?

Everyone's busy these days. It can be hard pinning down our calendars. And a few of us may be just a little bit lazy. We get it, so here's three easy ways to RSVP. You can reply on:
