Hiking clothes
We plan to do an easy-moderate 2-4mile hike in the morning, but no specific plans as of yet. Plan your own meals for breakfast and maybe pack lunch for the trail. We will bring some snacks! There likely will be some swimming time in the afternoon!
5:30 pm - 10:00 pm
Pajama Party
Come share some food and friendship! Starting around 5:30, we’ll sit down for a casual potluck meal, and then gather around 7 or 7:30 for a chill open mic-type coffee house (“tea house”) and vespers for people to share stories, songs, poetry and prayers with each other. Your offering can be related to Melissa and/or Isaac, or be more general: this is a time for us to strengthen and celebrate our community relationships. If you’d like to share something, please do!
3:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Soft Summer
The actual ceremony will likely begin sometime around 2:30 or 3pm. We will have transportation for folks who need more support navigating the 5-10min walk from the parking lot through mown fields to the ceremony location. In the morning we will be setting up the space, but there will also be field games if you are looking for something to do on site!
4:30 pm - 6:30 pm
Soft Summer
Following the ceremony, we will have some food and frivolity!
7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Electric Fairy Carnival
Bring your dancing shoes! For real. To protect the Mettabee dance floor, outdoor shoes/hard soles are not allowed in the Mettabee hall space, but you can always be barefoot or just wear socks if you’d like! Dessert, dancing, campfire… a bit of fun for everyone!

A morning/early afternoon goodbye, time for cleanup and farewells! We should be out by 1pm.
