FAQs

have a question that's not listed below? message us! we're more than happy to answer any questions you may have!
Question

I still don't get it. Why are you having a ceremony and reception if you're already married?

Answer

Because we can! We love our family and friends and from the beginning we wanted to throw a big celebration with everyone involved. Do we really have to give an excuse to celebrate? Life's too short, man.

Question

What's the dress code?

Answer

It's whatever. We're pretty laid back. The bridal party will be in standard wedding attire (dresses and suits) but casual attire is perfectly acceptable, too! You want to dress up? Great, you'll look amazing! Want to wear jeans and a button-down? Totally cool. Whatever makes you feel comfortable!

Question

Can I bring my kids?

Answer

Look, this place will be full of kids. Newborns, toddlers, preteens - you name it, they'll be there. Yes, you can bring your kids.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

YES! That's what things like this are made for! Gotta have a dancing partner.

Question

Do I need to bring a gift?

Answer

You do not have to bring anything! It would mean the world to us if you simply come and celebrate! However if you would like to bring a gift, we would appreciate a small donation to our "honeymoon" fund!

Question

Is this an outside wedding? Asking for my choice of shoes.

Answer

The vow renewal ceremony will be outside, and it is a bit of a walk from the barn. Not a hike or anything, but I would still skip the stilettos.

Question

What's for dinner?

Answer

Taco bar! Chips! Queso! Salsa! Guacamole! Need we say more?

Question

Will there be alcohol at this event or will it be lame?

Answer

You don't need alcohol to have a good time, silly! But yes, there will be several varieties of margaritas, beer and champagne. Free, self-serve bar, so don't ruin it and OVER over serve yourself.

Question

I can't find my invitation! What is the address to the venue?

Answer

The Gray Dove is located at 6408 Snow Hill Road, Ooltewah, TN 37363. It's at the bottom of a curvy hill on the right, past Ooltewah High School, so just make sure you're keeping an eye out for the sign. Call Ryan if you get lost and he will find someone to help.
