Welcome Picnic

10:00 am - 2:00 pm

Lory State Park Soldier Canyon Picnic Area
Bellvue, CO 80512

Casual/hiking/picnic attire/swimsuit if you want to float or get on the water, we'll have tubes!

We will be hosting a picnic lunch at Lory State Park. Plan on an opportunity to hike and enjoy this beautiful park not far from Fort Collins. We have the picnic area from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. You're welcome to swing by the picnic area anytime between those hours to visit with us. We will have food and drink and would love to visit with you and welcome you to this beautiful place we've made our home. You can visit the park outside of 10-2. See the day pass info below. Day pass to the park: We will pay for a day pass for those from out of state using a tally system. When you enter the park, stop at the visitor center and let them know you are a part of the 'Rexline Wedding.' They will give you a pass and add you to the tally. For our Colorado guests, you should have state park passes included with your vehicle registration. If you opted out (like a dummy) follow the instruction above. Activities: mountain biking, water sports/access (life vest needed!), hiking, lawn games, eating...

Rehearsal Dinner

6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

The OBC Wine Project – Urban Winery & Wine Bar
824 E Lincoln Ave, Fort Collins, CO 80524

Casual

This will be the rehearsal dinner for immediate family, wedding party, and our officiant. We will be enjoying food and drink on the Odell Winery patio. The rehearsal itself will likely take place at 4:00 PM at the Gardens on Spring Creek.

Post Rehearsal Dinner Hang

7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

This event is Black Tie Optional (<-- this is Jon Rees being sarcastic, this event will be very casual)

Feel free to come enjoy one of our favorite breweries (and winery) in Fort Collins. We have rented the outdoor space at the Odell Wine Project (right next to the Odell Brewery) for our rehearsal dinner. The dinner should be done by 7:30pm and we thought, what a great space to share with our friends and family. We will be on the winery side and there will be music on the brewery side. You can explore the entire area as you like. You're on your own for food and drink, but food trucks are typically there and turns out the venue is a brewery and winery... so I think you can find a drink. No need to RSVP. We will be there till 9 regardless so swing on by. *Only thing to note, Colorado liquor laws are weird. You cannot take beer into the winery building and you can't take wine into the brewery building. We will be outside on the wine side and you can have either beer or wine in any of the outdoor spaces, so all is good. Hope to see you there.

Newlywed Hangover Brunch

9:00 am - 1:00 pm

Casual, pajamas optional

Come join us for an informal, after-wedding brunch hosted at our house, compliments of our lovely family friends Debbie and Mickey Faigen. No official start time; please feel free to drop by anytime between 9am-1pm. We'll be hanging out in our house and/or yard and thought this would be a fun way for our out of town people to see our place, as well as an opportunity to express our gratitude and say goodbye. Food/Beverage: We will have bagels, donuts, and the Waffle Lab food truck *the food truck will be there from 10-12*, as well as coffee and mimosa fixings. We know some of you have dietary restrictions; we've got you covered too. If there's anything else you want, feel free to bring it. Seating will be limited; local friends are encouraged to BYO camp chairs if it's not an inconvenience. Parking: We encourage biking or carpooling if possible, and for those that drive there is free street parking all over our neighborhood, and usually a lot of it.

For all the days along the way
