Things To Do
Upload Photos!
Add photos of you with Anna and Cliff for the wedding slideshow...pretty please?
Eat at The Spoon!
The Runcible Spoon has been a go-to spot for us for years. It's in Bloomington, where we live (40min west of the wedding location), but it's worth the trip. Little house. Wobbly tables. Eclectic art-covered walls. Spiced coffee. YUM. Try Anna's favorite: the Smoked Salmon and Croissant Bennie, or Cliff's: The Corned Beef Hash & Eggs!
Go for a Swim
This is the pool at the lodge. It has a water slide! Seems to be a hopping spot, but we haven't actually tried it out yet. Let us know what you think if you go for it!
Visit The Goat Conspiracy Animal Sanctuary!
Book a tour online in advance & go pet some goats! Two words: hidden. gem. Anna loves goats and has been pining over this place for years. Why she hasn't started volunteering there yet is anybody's guess...maybe she'll need something to do when wedding planning is over?? If you decide to go, dress for the farm (closed toed shoes & shirts you don't mind getting chewed on are a must)!! And if you meet a goat named "Turtle" or "Apri-not" (not to be confused with "Apricot"), tell them Anna said "hey".
Take a Hike!
Engage (pun intended) in one of Cliff & Anna's favorite pastimes. Brown County State Park, where the wedding is, has several beautiful hiking trails that are sure to be extra gorgeous during the fall!
Go Ice Skating!
The Frank Southern Ice Arena is in Bloomington, where we live (40min west of the wedding location). Frank Southern was one of the stops on our first date, almost 10 years ago. Cliff sported a charming extra-long, colorfully striped scarf, reminiscent of the one that the Fourth Doctor (in Doctor Who) wears. It flapped in the wind behind Cliff as he skated, and flopped about wildly when he fell down. <3 The ice arena generally opens up for public skating during the second week of October, but we'll update this once their calendar comes out so you can be sure of their hours. You can take note of Bloomington South High School, where Anna works, right next door.

We recommend arriving at the ceremony venue at least 30 minutes ahead of the ceremony start time to ensure you have enough time to walk to the ceremony space and find a seat.

In the main lot for the lodge. There will be signage and knowledgeable staff that will guide you from the lodge's lobby to the ceremony location.
Question

Answer
Not really! We want you to feel comfortable and have fun with what you wear. Think festive, expressive, and true to you. Remember though, that the ceremony is outside in the woods! FYI, Anna will be wearing emerald green, rather than white.

Question
Can I bring a plus one?
Answer
We’ve put a lot of thought into our guest list, and as much as we’d love to celebrate with EVERYONE, space and budget are real things.

Question
Where should I bring/send my wedding gift?
Answer
Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for! If you would like to honor us with a gift (which is totally NOT necessary), you can have it delivered to our home at: 1306 S. Madison St. Bloomington, IN 47403 Or, in lieu of a physical gift, we'd love contributions toward making our honeymoon special. You can donate to honeymoon experiences in the "Registry" section of this website. A wedding card box will be available to drop cards into at our reception.
Question
Am I allowed to take photos/videos at your wedding?
Answer
We kindly ask that you keep our wedding ceremony "unplugged" and refrain from taking any photos or videos during that time. We want our guests to truly be in the moment with us during that special time. (Our hired photographer will capture all the ceremony pics we need!) Go ham during the reception, though. You can even upload photos from the reception to an online album that will be accessible by scanning the QR codes in the reception hall. (And we would love if you do so!)
