Question

Are children allowed?

Answer

At this time, we are limiting children to the wedding party and immediate family. However, we do not want lack of childcare to be the reason you can't attend! Please reach out to the bride or groom directly if there is any conflict, and we will certainly make accommodations accordingly.

What type of food and drinks will be provided?

Cocktail hour will begin around 5:00PM with a selection of hor'devoures set out for grazing. During cocktail hour; beer, wine, and predesigned cocktails will be available.

Question

Do you have a registry?

Answer

Because we have already lived together for a number of years now, we already have all the typical household neccessities a couple would traditionally ask for on their wedding registry. Therefore, in lieu of gifts, we are asking for donations to a honeymoon fund so that we may enjoy some quality time together to celebrate our marriage. There is a link to donate underneath the "Registry" tab of this website and there will be a card box at the wedding. Of course, gifts and donations are not required; as your presence on our big day is what is most important!

Question

Can you talk more about the dress code?

Answer

While we aren't looking to have a black tie event, we are asking all guests to leave their jeans and t-shirts at home and come dressed to impressed! Men, want to wear a full suit? Great! Otherwise, dress pants and a button up with tie are good too. Ladies can wear cocktail style or floor length dresses. If children are attending, we do ask that the dress nicely also (with a slightly laxed dress code for them - i.e. polos are okay for children vs. button ups). The bridal party will be wearing burgundy.

Question

Can we take our own pictures?

Answer

Yes! We certainly want you to document any pre-ceremony and post-ceremony events and will be creating a link for all pictures to be uploaded to. However, during the ceremony, we ask that all cameras (including cell phones) be put away in order to ensure that our photographers are able to capture the best moments without any obstacles in the way!
