Welcome to the weekend. Let's break bread and enjoy our first evening at the ranch together, provided by the groom’s dad and stepmom, John and Meg Barnet.
Warm Western Attire: This is your take on comfy but cute Texas flare. Jeans, flannels, maxi dresses, boots and cowboy hats will fit the bill. On this day in 2024… high of 91, low of 71.
Second Day
Friday, October 31st
9am-5pm: Friday on the Ranch
This is our family-friendly "free day" on our group’s personal playground - starting with light breakfast and an inaugural volleyball game, of course. All guests, whether staying on or off the property, will have access to Milk & Honey’s weekend Ranch Package (included for on-site and $150 for off-site guests), which covers all of the amenities and activities they have to offer – cabanas, jet skis, tubing, hiking trails, kayaks, fishing, spa, and 400 farm animals. Enjoy as you please. Hell, take a nap!
Smokin’ lunch BBQ hosted by the groom’s mom and stepdad, Julie and Rusty Smith.
Beach Attire: Think linen pants, short-sleeved button downs, sundresses, cover ups, and swimwear. On this day in 2024… high of 81, low of 71.
7pm: Filipino Feast by Chef Harold Villarosa of OKO
Step aside, rehearsal dinner… Filipino Kamayan is our kind of party. The word kamayan means “by hand” in Tagalog, which is the traditional eating style in the Philippines - without utensils.
Kamayans are celebratory feasts that include a massive spread of food laid out on a table over banana leaves. This fun, festive meal typically includes rice, lumpia, fried seafood, and roasted meats. And the best part: all wedding guests are welcome! “Wedding party only” has left the chat.
Hosted by the bride’s mom and stepdad, Alicia and Allan Luhrsen, and the man of honor, Skye Victoriano.
