Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Please arrive at the hotel no later than 2:30 PM. The Zoom ceremony will commence at 10 AM EST.

Question

I can't travel to the wedding, can I still watch the ceremony?

Answer

Yes! And thanks to the same technology that first brought us together, you can attend the ceremony in real time! We are setting up a Zoom call that will begin promptly at 10 AM EST which is 3 PM GMT.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Tuxes and gowns are welcome and so are suits and cocktail dresses. Gabrielle loves a jumpsuit, but they have to be pretty amazing to impress her, so keep that in mind when making your selection. Hats are enjoyed, but crowns are discouraged because there's already two Royals at this shin-dig. If attending any other events please refer to your invitation concerning dress code.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Please refer to the names on your invitation regarding plus ones. We are only able to accommodate those we have invited by name.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Please refer to the names on your invitation regarding children. We are only able to accommodate those we have invited by name.

Question

Are there any other events that I should know about around the wedding?

Answer

Please refer to your invitation regarding your attendance to other related events. All are welcome to join us on June 14th for brunch in the library and boardroom beginning at 11AM.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Please park at Greenwoods.

Question

Where will I sit?

Answer

Please choose a seat, not a side--either way it's for a bride!

Question

Can I take pictures and video?

Answer

We have a wonderful team of photographers and videographer for our special day and ask that you kindly refrain from using a camera or your phone during the ceremony as we are having an unplugged, Celebrant-led ceremony. Anyone seen holding either will be responsible for buying whatever's left on our registry so think before you click because we like shiny things. Also, please be mindful that the couple has first dibs on posting across social media, but we can't wait to see your pictures the next day under #ShanelleWedding across all social media platforms.

Question

When should I arrive for the evening?

Answer

Please arrive promptly at 5PM so that you do not interrupt the speeches or first dance, which we hope you will join us for.

Question

I have a dietary requirement!

Answer

Then you're at the right wedding! Please text or DM either Bride with any dietary requirements.

Question

Are you changing your names?

Answer

We are! We will be Mx. & Mrs. Lentell-Nash and Flik, our dog, will become Flik Lentell-Nash!

Question

What do we do about Covid?

Answer

We are asking that anyone with access to free or affordable testing be tested before they attend. If you test positive, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can keep you in our thoughts through your recovery and add you to our Zoom ceremony if you're feeling up for it. We also ask that anyone feeling unwell leading up to the wedding contact us for Zoom ceremony details. If you find yourself feeling poorly at the wedding, we ask that you excuse yourself from the day with our sincere hope that you recover quickly from your symptoms. Both brides have auto-immune illnesses and Gabrielle has an immune deficiency that makes her particularly susceptible to chest and sinus infections. We want to celebrate with you and feel that if you're unwell, or are worried you may be, regardless of the results of a Covid test, that you Zoom with enthusiasm rather than risk our health or yours.

Question

How can we accommodate your disabilities?

Answer

Thanks for asking! Please DO NOT use any heavy perfumes, colognes, or after-shaves immediately prior to attending our wedding. Shannen has severe allergies associated with their recent diagnosis of MCAS, which is a high histamine response. We want our bride to feel their best on the day, right? So we ask that you come free of potential triggers. Gabrielle has designed herself a seated area near the dance floor. Please leave her throne alone so she doesn't have to ask you to move if she needs to take a seat.

Question

Can I buy you a drink?

Answer

Whoa, buddy, we're married! We'll get our own drinks. (We're asking our MoHs to get our drinks as they are apprised of our allergies)

Question

Who's the bride?

Answer

We are *both* the brides! And our wedding party is the Bridal party.

Question

What are your pronouns?

Answer

Gabrielle uses she/her pronouns and Shannen uses they/them pronouns. We are not both girls, women, or ladies and HATE being referred to as "the girls." We're a couple, not a couple of friends or sisters. "You two," "the couple," "Shannen & Gabrielle," or "Shan & G" are the best ways to refer to us. Please be mindful and respectful on the day and always as this is our day and we want to feel your respect as well as your love.

Question

Are you both wearing dresses?

Answer

Well, that would be telling, wouldn't it?!

Question

Can I ask your DJ to play a song?

Answer

You can ask, but our music taste is better than yours so he will ignore you.

Question

Aren't you already married?

Answer

Our papers are signed, but we haven't said our vows. We can't wait to have you with us to celebrate our wedding and marriage on June 13th!

Question

Should I make jokes about this being a gay wedding?

Answer

I mean, you can try, but ours will be better so we don't recommend it--for the sake of your ego.
