Please try to be as punctual as possible. We will be camping Sunday night after setup to finish the last-minute details in the morning. Thank you.

The bridal party will be at the house from noon to 3:30 preparing for the wedding. If you are not coming to town until the day of the handfasting and you are wanting to have an escort, be sure to be to the house by or before 3:30. The bride will leave for Oak Grove at 3:30 sharp. Anyone not at the house by then will be left behind.

Attire should be dress/dress-casual. Feel free to dress in garb if you have some and so choose.
Thank you for coming to our wedding rite. Some of what you experience today will be familiar, other parts may be new and seem unusual to you, but each step in our ceremony is steeped in meaning and symbolism that is important to us. Please keep an open mind as we blend the traditions of today with the traditions of our ancestors passed to create a one-of-a-kind marriage event you will not soon forget.
