Question
What is the story behind the magpies in the logo?
Answer
When Courtney and Sean first met and started spending time in England, Sean told Courtney the story that magpies are rarely seen on their own. When you do see a magpie alone, you are supposed to ask, "Hello Mr. Magpie, where is your wife or mate?" and if you don't say this to a single magpie it is considered bad luck. Sean also called Courtney a magpie because they are known to love (and steal from windowsills!) shiny things. As they researched this common bird found in the UK they learned that magpies are rarely alone because they mate for life. After that it became a running theme that they were a couple of magpies!!
Question
Where can I share the photos and videos I took from the wedding with the bride and groom?
Answer
On the gallery page of this website there is a QR code, please scan it with your phone camera and it will bring you to GuestPix where you can drop in all of your photos and videos to share with us!
Question
If we want to write a check to the couple as a gift, who should be on the check?
Answer
Due to our difference in country residences, if you choose to write a US check, you can make it payable to Courtney Siders. If it is a UK check, you can make it payable to Sean Poynter. If you put both names on a check we will be able to double endorse upon Courtney's name change and the addition of one another on our bank accounts after we are legally married. Thank you!!!
