FAQs

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

We need to get a headcount by the fifth of March, but the sooner the better!

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

While we love kids, we are asking that they stay home unless it’s close family or people traveling from afar with the exception of a new tiny. This helps us with our seating and headcount, while still keeping it as intimate as possible.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

We are asking people to dress up and not wear jeans, sweatshirts, etc. We are hoping it’s kind of a given, as we will be in our formal wear- wedding dress, suit and bow tie, etc., throughout the evening.

Question

How’d you meet?

Answer

It depends on who you ask, but the truth is online. Our first date was at Zinburger with split entrees and conversation about our kids & Disney movies. Kelsi actually got busy after the fact and Burke thought she ghosted him. The next date was about a week later where Kelsi introduced Burke to charcuterie boards and scary movies (on accident, actually, but they both now love them!). The third was Burke introducing Kelsi to his favorite Thai restaurant. This was also where we shared our first kiss, and the rest is history.

Question

Has it always been smooth sailing?

Answer

No, and that’s actually the best part. We’ve been through a lot together while growing equally as much as individuals. Taking it super slow in the beginning and becoming best friends has given us a solid foundation to fall back on when misunderstandings are had. Burke actually realized that he didn’t want life without Kelsi after the two broke up for “wanting different things longterm” and Kelsi struggled with the idea of “if it’s not perfect or easy, it’s not worth it”. Coming out of failed relationships and really appreciating where life was at as single parents made progressing forward into the challenge of blended families an honest struggle. However, going through everything we have and still finding one another through it has taught us about who we are as individuals, parents, and as a couple now family.

Question

What time is the ceremony? I have to work that day.

Answer

We are planning a short and sweet family ceremony right at 6:30 p.m. on March 30th (Kelsi time, not Burke time... aka it will be prompt!). We want our kids to understand that they are each loved and an important part of our family, and are excited to share this with our friends and family who would like to be there. The first hour and a half will be open to guests arriving, mingling, taking pictures, enjoying boat rides, playing lawn games, and eating food off our awesome food truck! We feel like this vibe best matches our family life, and hope it is an enjoyable welcome for you. At 7 p.m, dancing and more traditional wedding festivities will begin.
