FAQs
Question
Can I just stay in Copenhagen and come up to Helsingor the morning of the wedding?
Answer
While theoretically an option, keep in mind you'll likely need to get up really early the morning of to take an approximately 75-minute train ride between the two cities. The civil ceremony time is confirmed for 10:30 AM on Friday, Aug. 1 and will last just 5-15 minutes -- very short and sweet!
Question
What are the wedding colors, and what should I wear?
Answer
Short Answer: "Smart Casual". The colors are dark navy and "sand" (darker than Obama's tan suit but lighter than Kamala's brown suit). We'll be in nice denim jeans, dress shoes, blazers/coats, and ties. Light layers would probably work best given it'll be summer in semi-formal venues. Skip the athletic wear, but do consider comfortable shoes.
Question
What language will the ceremony be in?
Answer
The ceremony will be in English, but Seth's vows to Jae will be in his native language of Korean. Denmark is a relatively English-friendly country.
Question
Will there be ways to contact and connect with the grooms and other guests?
Answer
Guests will be included in WhatsApp group(s) prior to arrival. If you have any questions, text Seth!
Question
What costs are covered for wedding guests?
Answer
The reception following the ceremony is on us! Given the various timings of the departures after the wedding, The Farewell Brunch is considered an unofficial send off event, so meals won't be covered then--appreciate your understanding.
Question
So, Will there be an Open Bar or Nah?
Answer
We'll have to wait and see how much both the reception venue and the after party spot will allow for an on consumption/open bar situation--no promises yet.
Question
Is there a hotel room block available?
Answer
Summer is high season for tourism in Denmark so unfortunately hotels in the village have not made room blocks available -- please book accomodation ASAP!
Question
How far is everything from...everything else?
Answer
The wedding ceremony venue (city hall), the train station, and two hotels are all within 1-10 minutes of each other on foot. Walking to the Krongborg Slot (castle) from city-center takes a bit longer, but not by much (20 mins).
