FAQs

Question

How did you meet?

Answer

Jeff: We met at church. I remember seeing her sitting a few rows ahead and thinking, "Dang, the back of that girl's head is ridiculous!" She had this really cute shaved-side-of-head hair style, and after church I went over to introduce myself. We talked for a bit, and all the while I was thinking, "Dang, the front of this girl's head is ridiculous too!" I spent the next week working up the courage to ask her out. Krista: After services at church the new boy came up to me and had the audacity to ask if I was new. I had started attending at the beginning of summer and he had just returned from spending summer in NorCal. We introduced ourselves and talked about school and hobbies. Everything he said was brimming with excitement and a love for life. His smile was genuine and being around him made me happy and comfortable. Two weeks later we had our first date and I hatched a plan to trick him into falling in love with me.

Question

How did he propose?

Answer

Jeff: I had always envisioned proposing on a hike, and I knew that Krista loved desert-y landscapes, so I suggested that we go hiking on a trail she had told me about in the hills. I tried hiding the ring box in my jacket, but Krista told me it was too hot to wear a jacket, so I had to sneak it into our camelpack instead. We started hiking and came to a nice spot overlooking the valley. I said some cheesy things, pulled out the ring, got down on one knee, and popped the question. She said yes. Krista: I knew it was coming (I mean, didn't we all?) Jeff threw me a few curve balls though so I wasn't 100% sure when or where. I got a little suspicious when he wanted to wear a jacket on a hike in 100 degree weather. When he started spouting cheesy lines my suspicions were confirmed. He got down on one knee and popped the question. I said yes.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

We'll be dressed pretty fancy, but you don't have to be. Semi-formal attire is preferred; just don't look better than us.

Question

Do you have a registry?

Answer

Yes! We're registered at Target and IKEA. You can find the links to our registries on the "Registry" page.

Question

Will parking be available?

Answer

Yes, and it's free!

Question

Are children welcome?

Answer

Invitations addressed to families include children. Otherwise, a $25-per-child fee will be charged to compensate for rowdiness, crankiness, and taking attention away from the couple.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

If you can rustle one up, then you deserve to.
