By the end of 2019. All guests should have 12-16 months notice about the main event and theme. As to the smaller celebrations, we will notify and plan them no sooner than 8 weeks out to allow for work schedules to be changed if needed.
No. You will be sent save the dates. You will be sent RSVPs and Invitations. If you do not RSVP, you will not have a seat nor will you be welcome should you decide to just show up. We love you all but this is a very special, formal event and will be treated as such. Everyone will have plenty of ways and time to notify myself or Jarrod of your attendance.
Children beyond family are not going to be allowed and even children in the family who are known for not behaving in public will not be attending. Reasons will be listed with invitations or save the dates to be sent out. We know this is an inconvenience and we understand that almost all our guests are parents, however this is not something that we are iffy about. We do not want children attending and even family under a certain age. The youngest guest will likely be the brides niece and nephew of 9 (10 years by the wedding)...We are alerting guests with children over a year in advance to be able to locate someone to watch the children and we will even help out by providing a list of sitters who have been checked and agreed to watch children the night of the wedding closer to the date for those who need help. We will also plan times of the evenings events somewhat early so parents can get home to their children at a decent hour without missing out on the fun.
Heck yeah! I told Jarrod that we were not getting married till we could afford one for our friends and family.
Yes. There are no jeans permitted at this event. Business attire/business casual is the most casual we will allow. Please also no scuffed up tattered shoes.. just a good spit shine may be all you need. We are not hosting a pasture party, please do not show up like you’re going to one.
Food is still being discussed but to be honest, probably stuff like cheese platters, finger sandwiches and teas will be served. You know, very Monica Geller. This is so we won’t have heavy foods on the stomachs of people enjoying the open bar. No one likes dancing with people getting sick around them.
The brides cake will accommodate the diabetics (obviously) the grooms cake is just a normal cake, and the guests will have a choice between vanilla, chocolate, and gluten free cupcakes. All made with love by Mrs. Cassi Taylor.
Still deciding that one but as of right now, if you want to make one, just ask. But if you’ve had more than a few drinks...the answer is no.
You will not find any beer that has the name “Lite” in it. I do not want crappy alcohol at my wedding. I love yall too much. With that being said...vodka, jack, rum, and a few nicer beers will be your options. As to the beers we are still making up our minds but to name a few options we’ve decided on.... Stella Artois Blue Moon Guinness Corona Are on your menu options for beer. Red and white wine and champagne. Hard alcohols: Mimosa Screwdrivers Jack and coke Rum and coke And a few creative flares from the mind of Johnathon Hall.
You will have a DD. Your DD can have no more than 2 singles over the course of the ENTIRE evening. Not back to back just before yall leave. If you have more than 2 over the course of the night, you will not be driving. I will have an officer there to enforce this rule. Jarrod and myself will be keeping an eye out and both of us are not beyond turning you in for attempting to leave while under the influence. No exceptions. No forgiveness. Do not turn me into bridezilla cause you’re being stupid.
No phones during the ceremony. I will stop and tell you to leave in the middle of the isle if I catch you with your phone out. I hired a photographer, not you. During the reception, have it out as much as you want! We will have hashtags and pages set up for mass photo sharing so you can see them all in one place. However, remember. •Alcohol can’t make you dance but it can make us laugh (and we will). •Once you have stepped foot on the venue for the reception, all you say and do is fair game. •everything that Happens at the Miles wedding...will end up on social media.
You are all adults. We are there to have fun but don’t act like you were raised in a barn. No yelling and running around like children, no whipping one another with sparklers. No yelling and cussing and what not. Let’s take a night for some dignified fun and let the rest Happen after everyone has gotten drunk. (First one plastered loses)...put it this way. If your grandmomma would bust your butt for acting that way, expect my mom to as well. She’s Mommabear, we are all her kids, she’ll pop all our butts and we know it..
We do not want or need gifts. Instead we ask to take the money you would have spent on a gift and place it in the “who wears the cake” jar or the honeymoon fund jar that will be at the events and the wedding. These jars will be sealed and only (literally) broken into on the wedding day at the appropriate time. A portion of the funds that night will be donated to either a local cause or towards JDRF, which is why we asks no gifts.
You can email Jarrod and I at the wedding email or text one of us at: mrandmrsmiles1221@yahoo.com Or 903-269-7891 Just list your name and best way to get back to you and ask away.
Very possible! Depending on when we set the actual date we are looking at two choices: Winter Wonderland Or Great Gatsby/roaring 20s since next year starts the 20s again! Please try and plan your attire accordingly.
Hey, it’s Texas. Who the heck knows even 2 days out. But since we are planning late fall or winter I’ll say, yes. There is a chance of storms and snow and heat and well anything. The venue we are looking at is inside and outside. The ceremony will likely be outside with the reception inside the hall. Should weather change then it will be all moved into the hall. We have a backup plan, come on, it’s jarrod and I. We got plan A, B, and C. Trust us to set up a night you’ll enjoy while keeping you safe if the weather is an issue.
We don’t want gifts. Just memories. So we are asking for monetary gifts rather than material things to help towards helping pay off the wedding features like the open bar or to put towards the honeymoon. When all is said and done, 20%-30% of what we have collected will be put aside and donated to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) which is one of the leading foundations in a fight for the cure and better treatment of type 1 diabetes.
