We are Pagan, and we would like our wedding to reflect that. The theme will have Pagan influence, as it is also a handfasting, but nothing too in-your-face. If this offends you or makes you uncomfortable, please take that into consideration before attending. Otherwise, this is basically just a party disguised as a wedding, and we would love to have you there!
Without getting too into it, some of the decorations will be made of nature including wood, stones, greenery, and bones. Runes, sigils, and pentacles will most likely be present, and there will be lots of black. There will be a small ritual done by Wade, Blake, and our officiant Kirsten at the Altar, but we are not asking the audience to participate in any way other than showing their support. You may pray or give blessings from whichever deity you choose to worship, but please be respectful. Sadly, the price nowadays for a sacrificial lamb and the blood of a firstborn is through the roof, so we will not be including it.
A handfasting ceremony is an ancient Celtic ritual that dates back to at least 7000 B.C. It is a symbolic ritual that involves tying a couple's hands together with a ribbon, cord, or rope to represent their commitment to each other. It's also where the phrase "tying the knot" comes from!
We would like to know by May 11th, but if you need more time or something changes, we understand! Please just let us know as soon as possible.
Of course! This day is all about love: whether it's romantic, platonic, or familial! The plus one option should be available when you enter your name on the RSVP page.
Absolutley! Our kid will be there, why shouldn't yours? If you don't see a spot to put them down on the RSVP, let us know and we'll fix it! As far as giving us a headcount, please don't add children under 1 year to the RSVP, as they most likely won't be taking up a seat or eating the food, but please bring them if you'd like!
Sorry, we're working on it! just let us know, we'll fix it, and have you try again. We want to do it all online so it's all in one database and less trees are wasted, but technology comes with trial and error.
Other than clothes being required, not really. Blake is wearing black, so there's no "ban" on wearing white. That being said, you can wear black, too! The ceremony and reception will take place outside in the grass, so plan accordingly. Feel free to dress up or dress down, but please wear clothes!
We are planning on starting the whole ceremony shebang around 7:30p.m., so probably around 6:30p.m. just to get parked, settled, and vaguely mingled. We're planning on doing food first, and that's when it will be served! Feel free to show up at 6:00p.m.-6:30p.m.; no need to be fashionably late. If you do show up late, no worries, but please be respectful of the ceremony!
Nope! There's plenty of room for everyone, and it is private property. Maybe lock your car though.
Please see the travel section for this answer!
Yes, we will feed you. Courtesy of our friend Jamae at Mother Clucker's Wings! See the menu section for food choices. There will also be a dessert table with various snacks, confections, and sweets. ***FOOD WILL BE SERVED BEFORE THE CEREMONY*** But there will be desserts and snacks after!
Yes! We have a bar located in our basement, and our bartender will happily make you whatever you'd like (tips are greatly appreciated!) Remember, the drinks are on us, but the hangover is on you, so please drink responsibly! Non-alcoholic drinks will be located in various coolers around the venue, and feel free to bring your own, if you'd like!
Please do! Let one of us know and we'll do our best to accomodate. Aside from the Mother Clucker's food truck, desserts and snacks will be done buffet style, but we'll try to label what's in each dish so you can choose accordingly! If it makes you feel safer, we won't be offended if you bring your own food. Safety first!
