Question

Do I need to rent a car?

Answer

Renting a car will give you the best access to all North Wales has to offer. There's limited public transportation, and Uber isn't really a thing here. Taxis will need to be pre-booked, and you can find details of taxi companies under the Travel page.

Question

I'm Renting a Car! Anything I Should Know?

Answer

1. Drive on the left side of the road! 2. If you're renting, be sure to specify if you'd like an automatic or manual (stick shift) car. 3. The roads around the venue can be tight and winding - we'd recommend a smaller car. 4. Roundabout (traffic circle) etiquette - yield to cars already in the roundabout.

Question

Gifts?

Answer

We recognize that this is a really big trip for most of our guests! Many of you are traveling thousands of miles and spending a decent amount of time and money to celebrate with us, so we'd prefer if you didn't get us a gift as well. (Zola requires us to have a Registry Tab)

Question

How do I pronounce things in Welsh?

Answer

Welsh is phonetic, but not necessarily pronounced like English. Here's a guide you might find useful: https://www.go4awalk.com/fell-facts/welsh-language-pronunciation.php#google_vignette Some basics: Dd is a "th" sound, w is a "oo" sound, f is a "v" sound (but ff is a "f" sound), u is an "ee" sound, ch is similar to the pronunciation of Scottish "loch".

Question

Why are we eating a “wedding breakfast” at 3pm?
