FAQs
Question
Where is the wedding?
Answer

Question
Where is the reception?
Answer
After the ceremony, we will head right next door to Eric’s childhood home for the reception.
Question
But what will I wear?
Answer
We want all of our guests to look their best while also feeling comfortable and being true to themselves. We ask that our guests arrive in dressy casual attire. For our guys, a nice button down (including white dress shirts) and your best dark wash jeans, dress pants, or khakis with dress shoes or clean boots would be perfect. Ties and jackets are optional. Our ladies can wear a their favorite dress, slacks and a blouse, a skirt with a sweater, or any other elevated outfit of their choosing. Do remember that this is an outdoor event, so we would recommend a thicker heel if wearing high heels to not sink into the grass. We have one firm rule for attire: to avoid a mental breakdown from Sam, please refrain from wearing white. Also, kindly avoid bright colors, neon, or red - trust us, our photos (and Sam’s sanity) will thank you!
