FAQs
Question
Why are there two dates a year apart?
Answer
We have a lot of family and friends in the Midwest, West Coast, and beyond. To accommodate this and have the ability to celebrate with the majority of our loved ones, we decided to split our wedding up into both locations. ‘til death do us part: We are having a small ceremony and party (about 50 people) at our home in Minnesota on 10.31.25. Due to time and space constraints, the guest list in 2025 will be more limited. However, we will be live-streaming the ceremony and recording it if you would like to observe! Link to come. ‘til death do us party: We are then having a large reception (150+ people) in Oregon on 10.31.2026, our one year anniversary.
