Question

What's the deal with this event?What's the deal with this event?

Answer

Our wedding will be a hybrid in-person and virtual event. We’ll be having a small outdoor ceremony with family, for which we will be providing high quality masks and all the COVID tests our lovey little hearts desire. In addition, we’ll have a livestreamed virtual option for everyone we love to safely share in the day. We truly wish we could have a big celebration with every single person we can think of, but we need to prioritize our (and your) safety. Please take a look at the “COVID info” section in the Travel page. Stay tuned for more details about our virtual ceremony!

Question

How will I know which version of the event I’ve been invited to?How will I know which version of the event I’ve been invited to?

Answer

We understand it might be a little bit confusing to decipher which event you’ve been invited to, since we have one invitation for everyone (as opposed to separate invites for separate events). If you’ve been invited to attend in person, chances are you already know. But an easy way to check is to enter your name in the RSVP section. If in-person events don’t show up, we’d love to have you, your family, and your friends at the virtual Ceremony Livestream!

Question

When do you need my RSVP? How do I RSVP?When do you need my RSVP? How do I RSVP?

Answer

Please the RSVP section of the website. Just type in your name (or the name of someone in your party) and the site will take you through the appropriate steps. For in-person guests, please try to get your RSVP in by September 20th. For virtual guests, it’s not nearly as time sensitive: whenever you get a chance will be just fine. You don’t need to RSVP at all if you feel like being extra mysterious (although we’d certainly appreciate it)!

Question

Is there parking?Is there parking?

Answer

Not only is there parking, there’s *free* parking. There are many spots at the entrance to the park and a limited number right next to the lighthouse, which will be reserved for guests with mobility needs.

Question

What time should I arrive at or log into the ceremony?What time should I arrive at or log into the ceremony?

Answer

You can arrive onsite any time before 3:30! It’s a public park, and a very nice place to hang out. The livestream will begin about 15 minutes prior to the ceremony.

Question

Is there a dress code?Is there a dress code?

Answer

The easiest answer is no. Unless you count comfort. The more complicated answer for those who would like some guidance is: Whimsical Scottish Goth, Semi-Formal. Please feel free to dress with the theme! It may get chilly, we suggest you bring some layers! Full black and tartans are welcome! Honestly, we just want everyone to be comfortable, so wear what makes you feel like you (just please stay away from full red or white). We'll be happy to see you whether you decide to wear jeans or a tux or an inflatable t-rex costume.

Question

Do I need to dress up to attend via livestream?Do I need to dress up to attend via livestream?

Answer

Need to? No. But dressing up is highly encouraged (if you want to). We want everyone to feel as present as possible. If dressing up helps you do that, then please do! However you choose to celebrate, send us a photo or tag us on social media! We want to see!

Question

How do we get to the livestream?How do we get to the livestream?

Answer

The livestream will be through EventLive, and a link has been posted in the Links/Recommendations section of this website. No downloads or apps are needed, just click the posted link and you’ll be taken straight there!

Question

Can I get you something that isn't on the registry? Should I still get you something if I can't be there in person?Can I get you something that isn't on the registry? Should I still get you something if I can't be there in person?

Answer

We don't expect anyone to get us anything! We have a traditional registry for those who would like to partake. In it, we also have cash funds for things like our honeymoon and a downpayment for a house. But yes, we more than welcome items that aren't on the registry! What we really want, from everyone, is some art. Not the kind of art you can buy, or the kind of art you can necessarily sell (artist friends, please do not give us free labor, unless you really, really want to gift it). What we mean is this: sit down at your kitchen table, on your comfy bed, on your living room floor, and make something. Put your name on that thing. Send that thing to us. We want to fill our home with pieces of everyone we know and love.

Question

Wait...but I'm not good at art.Wait...but I'm not good at art.

Answer

We cannot stress enough how little that matters.

Question

What should I make, though?What should I make, though?

Answer

Literally anything! Scribble on a takeout menu. Have a finger painting party with your kids. Do an abstract collage of your dog. Let your dog do an abstract collage of you. Let your pets choose your colors. Involve the whole family! Whatever you send us, it's going to be displayed in our home. All art is good art. What we really want is to look at something, and think of you and the fun you had making it. There is absolutely no pressure. We promise we're going to love it. (Just...maybe don't make it wedding themed? Unless that's what you want! Then go for it!)
