Even though the temperature may be in the high 90s, Pocatello experiences a high desert climate meaning it is a dry heat and so you will not be sweating as much as you might think.
The wedding ceremony will be outdoors and will not be shaded. The ceremony itself should last about 20 minutes in addition to the time you sit waiting for the ceremony to start.
The reception is inside; however, outdoor tables will be available on the lawn and cocktail tables will be available on the veranda. There will be limited seating within the reception center. There is a park adjacent to the venue for kids to play. We want people to mingle, dance, and have a good time. There will be seating for those who want a seat to rest.
The Wood family has graciously offered to provide pulled pork sliders, teriyaki meatballs, veggie trays, and an assortment of desserts (Lea's famous cookies, donut holes, and sheet cake). Water, iced tea, and Pepsi products will be the main beverages. In addition, we will have hard seltzers, white wine, and a signature wedding cocktail (The Mintwood, our take on the Old Fashioned made with Woodinville bourbon and an Andes Mint).
Let's just say what it isn't. Beachwear, gym clothes, and flip flops are too casual. And to the opposite extreme, avoid tuxedos and ballgowns :) If you plan to wear jeans, please no ripped jeans. Children can wear whatever is best for them. Basically, just don't look sloppy.
The wedding ceremony will begin at 6:00 pm. We ask that guests arrive starting at 5:30 and be in their seat no later than 6:00. You may sit on either side of the aisle as we have 100 chairs and 100 guests. The first two rows will be reserved for immediate family and wedding party family.
We respectfully ask that you do not post any pictures of the wedding ceremony or of Dustin and Cy's special moments during the reception (for example first dance, cake cutting, mother/son dances) on these social media platforms as we want to pick the right picture to announce our nuptials to our extended communities. Feel free to post pictures of yourselves or selfies with Dustin/Cy. Don't forget to use the hashtag #IMintonTheWood. If you have questions, please just ask Dustin and Cy.
There will be plenty of parking spaces at the wedding/reception venue.
The reception will begin immediately after the wedding ceremony at the same venue and will end at 10:00. Feel free to leave whenever it fits your timeline.
There will be dancing. Cy and Dustin have compiled a music playlist spanning decades of our music favorites that all will enjoy so bring your dancing shoes and cut a rug with us.
While gifts are not expected, if you would like to buy us a gift, please go to the Registry page of this website or drop your gift off at the reception once you arrive. Because we are from out of town and cannot pack much back with us, we ask that you keep that in mind.
Yes. Please use #IMintonTheWood.
No we will not.
