Important Information

Question

COVID-19

Answer

DO NOT ATTEND if you have not been fully vaccinated against Covid-19. We take the health of our loved ones very seriously and do not wish to be the cause of a covid outbreak. Please reach out to us if you have a legitimate medical reason for not getting the vaccine and we will assess on a case by case basis. Furthermore, we understand completely if you do not feel comfortable attending, even while vaccinated. We care about your health and safety above all other things and will not be offended if you choose not to attend for this reason.

Question

Carpooling and Parking

Answer

Parking will be extremely limited, so we STRONGLY encourage carpooling! If possible, please carpool with friends & family from your lodging or, if you are staying in different lodgings, meet at the Park & Ride on Nooseneck Hill Road (Route 3) in Ashaway, RI, next to Exit 1 of Interstate 95 to carpool. This parking lot is free and 4.3 miles away from the venue. A few of our wonderful neighbors have elected to provide parking on their properties, and there will also be parking along the private road we live on. We will have parking attendants present to assist with finding the best spot and to ensure the road isn't blocked so please look out for them.

Question

Attire

Answer

This is an outdoor wedding and there is always the possibility of inclement weather at any time of year, so it would be wise to pack an umbrella, slicker, and maybe even wellies. Stilettos will not be very practical for walking around on the grass and moss. It is usually still warm in Rhode Island by September and there are lots of places to swim nearby (including a river next to the venue house and beaches 20 minutes away) so pack a bathing suit if you like swimming! BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY...wear whatever you like!

Question

Bees and Other Allergens

Answer

There are beehives on the premises of the Heitman house. If you are allergic to bees and decide to attend, please bring your epi-pen. Other allergens which will/may be present are cats (inside the house) and shellfish. Please reach out to us ASAP if you have any special dietary restrictions.

Question

No plus one?

Answer

We did our best to invite everyone's serious significant other. If we missed your partner on our invite list, please reach out to us and we absolutely will accommodate them! In general, we only gave a plus one to people we know are in a serious long-term relationship because this is a backyard wedding and we both have very big Catholic families. Space for everyone to sit in the yard is a concern, and we carry the usual economic baggage of being millennials in America. Again, if we neglected to invite a serious partner, please let us know and we will accommodate them.
