FAQs

The Wedding Website of Jerry Shouts and Elie Ketchum
"Keep smiling, keep shining/Knowing you can always count on me, for sure/That’s what friends are for/For good times and bad times/I’ll be on your side forever more/That’s what friends are for"
Question

Sounds confusing - how will you make it all work??

Answer

Well, as they say, "We get by with a little help from our friends!" We will definitely need a lot of help to put this weekend together! So here's our plan - we'll be reaching out to everyone who is coming and asking them to bring specific items; for example, we may ask someone to bring a couple of bottles of wine, or chips and hamburger buns. Also, if you have a favorite family recipe, something that you're known for, please let us know and we may incorporate it into our menu. In addition, we'll put together a huge "honey-do list" for the weekend and people will be assigned to help with the food preparation, set up and/or clean up. If there are enough of us it shouldn't be too much work for anyone. We want this to be fun for everyone, so we're keeping meals simple and clean up to a minimum.

Question

What should I wear to the wedding ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony will be dressy casual. Please feel free to dress comfortably, but also be photo ready!

Question

Can I just come to the wedding ceremony if I can't stay?

Answer

Of course! We would still love you to be part of our special day! Come early and enjoy the resort and then stay for dinner and dancing! For those of you who cannot stay for the 3-night minimum, but would like to stay somewhere overnight, check out the Best Western Spooner Riverplace. There may also be AirBNB options nearby if you'd like more privacy. Please RSVP by August 1.

Question

Sorry, we're not able to attend!

Answer

We'll miss seeing you but understand not everyone can make it. Please RSVP to Amanda Lescas at elieandjerrywedding@gmail.com with your regrets by August 1.

Question

Gifts?

Answer

Please - no gifts. All we ask is for you to come and have fun with us! That's the only gift we need!

Question

What Did We Miss?

Answer

If you still have questions, please reach out to us at elieandjerrywedding@gmail.com and we'll get back to you as soon as we can. Also, a special thank you to Jerry's niece Stephanie for designing our logo, and Elie's daughter Amanda for designing the website!
