FAQs

Question

What is self-uniting?

Answer

Self-uniting is a type of marriage that requires no third-party officiant or member of the clergy. Instead, the two individuals declare themselves married in the presence of witnesses. Pennsylvania has recognized self-uniting marriages for centuries due to its Quaker origins.

Question

When is the RSVP deadline?

Answer

Question

Suggested attire?

We recommend garden casual attire (e.g., sundresses, jumpsuits, gardening gloves, shorts, pants, cool prints, button downs) or whatever makes you feel good :) We plan to have some yard games (e.g., bocce ball, horse shoes). Dress for victory.
