Our wedding day coincides with the Twilight Criterium, a professional bike race that brings about 30,000 people to Athens. I think the reason we were able to snag both are ceremony and reception venues is because the bike race was going on. Apparently, we were the only couple crazy enough to think we could pull off a wedding during Twilight weekend:)
Since the race is held downtown, and that is where our reception site is, I'm going to have to make maps for all our guests. Some of the roads will be closed off, etc.
Our reception will end shortly before the main bike race begins on Saturday, so I'm hoping downtown won't be too much of a zoo then.
My hope is that our guests will see the bike race as an added bonus to the wedding weekend. I remember going when I was a student at UGA, and it was a blast. This year there's going to be outdoor stages downtown with jazz musicians, too.
Check out more about the events going on during Twilight here.
I know if I was a guest at my own wedding, my plan for after the reception would be to chill out on the streets and watch the race while drinking a mojito or two and enjoying the atmosphere and then meander back to the hotel.
