FAQs

Question

The wedding is on a Thursday? Why not Friday? Did you mess that up???

Answer

No we did not! The wedding is on a Thursday for a variety of reasons (price, 6/9 jokes, price, availability, etc.) so please make sure to book yourself a long weekend!

Question

What is the dress code? Should I wear a tux or my jeans?

Answer

The wedding is semi-formal. We’d love to see our guests dressed up to the nines, especially for the ceremony, but the last thing we want is for people to be uncomfortable. We especially don’t want anyone to feel like they have to spend extra money on formal wear if they don’t want to. Ultimately, we’re just happy you’ll be there to celebrate with us. If you want to wear jeans, go for it - just please don’t wear the ones you wore while fixing the car (Dad, I’m looking at you!)

Question

Do I need to be vaccinated to attend?

Answer

We planned a long engagement specifically in the hopes that we would be able to celebrate together in person with family and friends. We're now at the point where even two years later, we still have to be very careful. So please, please, please, if you are able to get a COVID vaccine please do so before the wedding. If things take a turn for the worse and there are guest restrictions again, we will need to give priority to people who are fully vaccinated. Thank you for being understanding, and please stay safe!

Question

Do I have to bring a present?

Answer

While gifts or cash is much appreciated, please do not feel obligated to give us something if you’re unable to. After the pandemic we all just lived through, we are more than happy to simply have our friends and family celebrate with us again.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

Unfortunately due to our limited space and budget, we are asking that you please do not bring a plus one without asking us first. We don’t want to push anyone out, but our families are both fairly big and since we are paying for the wedding ourselves, we need to make some hard decisions when it comes to numbers.

Question

Cash bar? Why not open or a toonie bar?

Answer

While we would love to be able to let people party their hearts out, the cash bar is what is in our budget. All proceeds from the bar do go towards the Shriners Centre (our venue) which does a fair amount for the community, so please don’t feel too salty about it.

Question

Is there shuttle service to the venue? My hotel is far and I don’t have a DD.

Answer

Yes, there is a cab and shuttle service that can safely get you where you need to go. Most take debit or credit, but there is also an ATM at the wedding venue if you need cash.

Question

Anything else I should know?

Answer

One thing we want to make very clear is that while there are some traditional aspects of this wedding, this is a modern affair. This should be obvious since there's, you know, two brides, but there will also be people of all genders and sexual orientations present. Absolutely no hateful/rude comments or behaviour will be tolerated. We all just want to have fun and celebrate the occasion with the people we love most - don't be the person who rains on the party! Please respect everyone's pronouns, and be kind to each other so we can all have a great time.
