Question
Wait, I thought her name is Gabi?
Answer
My given first name is Montana. Some friends and family know me as Gabi since I went by my middle name Gabriel throughout school. Some family call me Montana. I love both names so call me what you are used to. I’ll be using Montana for some of the wedding related events but I’ll always respond to both names.

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?
Answer

Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
Our dress code is "garden attire." Garden attire is elegant yet relaxed, perfect for an outdoor setting. We suggest light, breathable fabrics in soft colors or floral patterns. Ladies, think flowy dresses or skirts paired with comfortable shoes like wedges or flats. Gentlemen, a light-colored suit or dress shirt with dressy shoes that work well on grass will fit right in. The goal is to be stylish while staying comfortable and practical for the garden setting. Note that it will likely be very warm, so dress accordingly.
