Question

How should I dress for this wedding?

Answer

We tried to put guidance on the schedule page under each event, so you'd have ideas. But we'd never tell you what to do. But if you are just looking for a little guidance,... The wedding ceremony is being held in a church where God is worshipped reverently. All spaces will be air conditioned. (It's an August wedding; we thought that was pretty important.) It's an evening wedding... in the middle of August. If you want to dress up, you can. The bridal party will be in gowns and suits. But we do not have those expectations of our guests. (See more under the ceremony.) And if you didn't already know, we, the bride and groom, are so happy that you are coming!

Question

Where are they going on their honeymoon?

Answer

We decided that we didn't want a long engagement. Because of that, I (Diane) don't have vacation time to put towards a honeymoon until 2025. So we are focusing on the important part now... getting married. And Chad and I will take a real honeymoon shortly after 2025 begins.

Question

Did the bride and groom register anywhere?

Answer

No, we did not. We each have a house... and we are now bringing those houses together into one home. We are doing more downsizing than one can imagine. The Salvation Army Donation Center is never empty these days. So we couldn't even imagine registering for anything. But we are thrilled that you are considering being a part of our celebration!

Question

Do the bride and groom need anything?

Answer

Very simply, the most important thing we need is the love and support of our family and friends on our most precious day as we say our vows before God. Anything beyond that is icing on our cake!

Question

Where are Chad and Diane going to live after they get married?

Answer

We decided to start our married life in my (Diane's) house. We'll live at 2118 Lancelot Drive in North Huntingdon, PA 15642. We're consolidating our possessions now. Someday, we hope to have a ranch house. But we'll start with this plan and get a solid footing on our future.

Question

Why did wedding plans change?

Answer

In late April, we learned that the original reception venue wasn't air conditioned. We really thought that air conditioning was important for a mid-August wedding. With just a few months before the wedding date, we scrambled and booked a beautiful hall; but that hall started causing us to turn the wedding into something neither of us had really wanted... a BIG WEDDING. After a lot of stress that wasn't subsiding, we decided that we needed to rethink things. Chad was so supportive!!! We talked it out and scaled the wedding back to something that both of us are EXCITED to have. That's the wedding and reception that you are attending now. (And while we feel very badly that we had to make hard decisions about our guest list, we hope that they'll understand that the bigger wedding was literally driving us crazy and making us poor. We simply had to do this.)
