FAQs
Question
The Plague!
Answer
If Covid is still cruising through the wild like a bull in a China shop, wear a mask. If you are not comfortable without a mask at the time of the wedding, do whatever makes you comfortable. No shaming of any kind is allowed here. I will absolutely kick folks out for getting into fights about vaccines, masks, event size, etc. do what is best for you and if someone is making folks uncomfortable let Aryn or Tylor know… we’ll kick some ass.
Question
There is no public transportation!
Answer
Mariposa does not have taxi’s or uber’s, or lyft’s or even really local busses. So, if you drink don’t drive!
Question
Cell service
Answer
While it has gotten better over the years, Mariposa cell service is not super friendly with anything outside of Verizon, and even then… it’s kinda… meh. So download directions, print out copies. Remember Map Quest? Pretend it’s 1999.
Question
What to wear?
Answer
Anything that suits ya. Just be cozy, bring layers!
Question
What’s the food like?
Answer
The wedding folks will be be providing the meats and some side. But it’s totally potluck style. If you have a dietary restriction, lemme know and I’ll do what I can to accommodate you. And if I can’t do it personally, we’ll find someone who can!
Question
A potluck wedding?
Answer
Yeah, pretty much! So, just all those family gatherings where folks bring food for like 15+ people? That’s all we’re really asking. Salads, sides, desserts if you so choose - but there will be cake! We will provide main courses, utensils, plates, cups, etc. and some booze.
Question
Can I BYOB?
Answer
Totally! The plan is to get some local beers and some store bought stuff, wine, seltzer’s, soda, etc. but if there’s something you specifically want, bring it!
Question
Camping?
Answer
Yup! So the reception portion of the whole deal will be held at the Mariposa Fairgrounds, where you are welcome to camp out with us! Bring a tent, some sleeping bags, extra blankets, or whatever you want to be all snuggly and cozy.
Question
If you do camp —-
Answer
You are expected to help clean stuff up, breakfast and coffee will be provided, we aren’t savages! But the fairgrounds is a clean place, we’re gonna keep it that way. And that means you do your part, and pick up your trash.
Question
The ceremony
Answer
This is simply a hand fasting. It’s not “exciting” per say, and I’m not going to ask folks to make sure they attend both. Kids don’t want to sit through stuff like that, and it is absolutely 100% okay if you don’t come to the ceremony or you can’t for whatever reason it may be, but we wanna see you at the shindig.
Question
Don’t get so intoxicated I gotta kick you out -
Answer
When alcohol is flowing and folks out in the wild - I know how things get… but this is the town that Tylor and I grew up in. If you cannot act accordingly, I will happily call a buddy at the Sheriffs department and have you taken away for a weekend in the county jail. So, be mindful. This is an environment for everyone! Kids, aunts, uncles, parents, it’s a family event! Be smart!
Question
Music?
Answer
I don’t want a DJ or an Emcee… mostly because I don’t want to tell someone “how to do” my wedding… but there will be music. Please feel free to dance and sing, if you have a request, let someone know, I’m sure we can play it.
