FAQs
Question
What about parking?
Answer
Kathy and Rick's home has a long driveway with lots of parking. We ask you to park along the sides, perpendicular to the driveway. Its ok to park on the grass but do not block other cars and ensure there is room for others to drive down the driveway.
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
For the Exchanging of Vows and Cocktail Hour Celebration: The bride and groom will be in a semi-formal dress and suit. Guests can wear something semi-formal. Michigan summers are warm and humid and there is always a chance of rain. If you are attending only the summer afterparty, dress is casual.
Question
Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?
Answer
Both the ceremony and reception will be held outside. Shade can be found under a large tent and several large covered patios. Restroom facilities will be available on-site for guest use. In case of severe weather, we have an indoor backup plan to keep everyone comfortable.

Question
Was this wedding planned last minute? Why was my invite so delayed?
Answer
Haha, yes! It’s a quick turnaround! We decided in early April to have a July wedding at Charlene’s mom’s beautiful home—giving us just about three months to plan! Thankfully, we’re surrounded by amazing family and friends who are helping us pull it all together and making the whole process even more special.
Question
Is there a wedding party, bridesmaids and groomsmen?
Answer
No. We decided to keep things simple and let our closest friends and family relax and enjoy the day alongside us, without the added commitments that can come with being part of a traditional wedding party. Even though there won't be any official wedding party roles, we're incredibly grateful for the love and support of the people in our lives. Having you celebrate with us is what makes the day special.
