FAQs
Question
LET'S TALK ABOUT COVID.
Answer
By far the most important thing to us is that you all feel safe while celebrating with us! We acknowledge and fully understand that we all have different opinions and points of view, however we do not believe that COVID-19 is a political issue. Thousands of people have lost their lives and while we'd love to have a carefree celebration, we cannot disregard the danger of large gatherings and the science that has helped us understand how to protect ourselves from this deadly virus. We are not requiring masks at our ceremony or reception, but if you feel unsafe or would like to protect us and the other guests by wearing a mask, go ahead! We are both vaccinated, boosted, and ready to get married! With that being said, if you've been thinking about getting your first round of vaccines or have been putting off your booster, we would really appreciate it if you could make those appointments before the wedding. That just helps us create a safe and comfortable environment for everyone to squeeze in close for pictures and hugs as we all celebrate together. *Our wedding is not the appropriate place to discuss conspiracy theories or political agendas. Please be mindful of the subjects you discuss with others during our reception and do your best to have grace and understanding with people who have different beliefs than you.
Question
WILL THERE BE ALCOHOL?
Answer
No! We're having a dry wedding! Since we're not serving alcohol, we are not permitted to drink on the venue grounds. We are not hiring the security required to have alcohol present so we ask that you refrain from having any alcohol in your vehicle or on your person while on the premises.
Question
WHAT IS THE DRESS CODE?
Answer
We've been very decided from the beginning that we don't want our wedding to be incredibly performative or staged. We don't want to force you into an outfit or role that isn't "you" just for the sake of an aesthetic. If you're on this website it's most likely because we shared the link with you, which means that we love you... for you! So, there is no dress code. If you only feel comfortable in your Vans and your favorite t-shirt, we can't wait to see you there! If you want to glue glitter to your face because it makes you happy, sick! If you'd like to wear a dress and heels, awesome! As long as you are clothed you are free to wear what you'd like. You already have a good idea of what we'll be wearing, so if you'd like to match our more formal attire feel free, but no pressure!
Question
WILL THERE BE FOOD?
Answer
Yes! We will be serving you dinner!
Question
WHAT IF I HAVE (A) DIETARY RESTRICTION(S)?
Answer
We will be sending out our RSVP's with our formal invitations in early-ish May. On your RSVP there will be a portion that you can fill out to let us know about any of your food allergies! We will work with our catering to make sure that you have something to eat. If we can't get it worked out, we will personally let you know and you will be more than welcomed to bring your own food if you'd still like to have dinner with us!
Question
CAN I TAKE PICTURES ON MY PHONE DURING THE CEREMONY/ RECEPTION?
Answer
No, we are asking that you refrain from using your phone during the ceremony. Unplugged ceremonies aren't a new concept, but they make everything so much easier. We know that you may want a photo of us for your Facebook wall but the most important photos to us are the ones that our professional photographer will take. We hired her to capture the memories for us so that we can all soak in the day and fully experience the wedding! In order to help make her job easier, and to make the photos look better, please leave your phone in your pocket. We will share the final photos when they are available to us, so don't worry about that! If you are not in the family or wedding party, we'll be more than happy to take all of the photos you'd like with you and your family when we greet you at your table during the reception! Thank you for understanding, we are so excited!
