The weekend

Méribel sits in the heart of the Three Valleys in the French Alps. In July the slopes are green, the days are long and the evenings cool off quickly. Expect warm days, cool evenings and the occasional afternoon storm, so bring a layer.

• Friday 16 July

  Welcome evening, 6:00 pm to 9:30 pm

  Sarah and Egmond are kindly hosting us at their home. There will be canapés, wine and beer, so no need to eat beforehand.

  Dress code: casual. The evening is outdoors and mountain evenings are cool, so bring a warm layer.

• Saturday 17 July

  Optional morning golf, about 8:00 am

  Gutsche is heading out for a round of golf, hoping for a hole in one to make it the best day ever, with the wedding to follow in the afternoon. No pressure on the swing, he will be at the church by 3:00 pm either way. He would love some company, so tick the golf box when you RSVP and he will add you to the list.

  Ceremony, 3:00 pm

  The ceremony takes place at Église Saint-Martin in Les Allues, the commune that includes Méribel.

  Dress code: smart formal. Ties are optional, and linen is preferred.
