We still can't completely believe it ourselves. But it is real: we are getting married. And you are invited to join us on this very special once-in-a-lifetime day on a stunning island and with some of the most wonderful people.
Where
Mahal sa Mahé. Mahé is the biggest and most important island of the Seychelles. It features amazing beaches, hiking paths, a National Park and capital, Victoria. You will probably come in via Mahé airport. More about Mahé you can find on Lonely Planet.
The key location will be in Baia Lazare. Baie Lazare is approximately a 45-minute drive from Victoria, or
35-minute/20km from the airport. From the international airport, turn left and travel south on the main road
via Anse Royale, passing the turning to Les Canelles, Takamaka village and finally Baie Lazare that starts
in front of the Lazare Picault hotel.
