Story
I went to a wedding in Baton Rouge with my dear friend, Erin Perry. I was her plus one. It was a great Perry family wedding, Mr. John playing the washboard was definitely the highlight. Erin and I had so much fun we decided to have more drinks at Happy's. The bouncer was flirting with Erin, and he needed a wingman. He recruited Tommy to talk to me and we exchanged numbers, and the rest is history! Lololol!

Travel
Getting In
We recommend flying into Madrid. You can take the high speed train to Sevilla or you can fly into Sevilla. We have not decided which route we plan to take due to wedding dress transport. Lol. I will post the flights we book and route when we book. We plan to book flights on December or January. It's too early right now!!
I attempted to get a group code but there were too many variations in flights to make it happen for all of us.
Getting Downtown
You can either get in line for a taxi or take an Uber from either the airport or train stations.
Tips about travel in Spain
1. Many people in Sevilla can speak English. Some more fluent than others.
2. You cannot drink the tap water. The hotel will provide a couple bottles of water, but we always buy larger ones at the small grocery close by
3. You will need an outlet adapter
4. Sunset is very late is Spain and dinner is usually not until 9 or 10pm
5. Siesta is real. It's usually between 2-5pm. Many stores will close during those times. The restaurants and bars remain open (wine and tapas time!). Many stores will re-open after 5pm and stay open until about 8pm.
