We will not be having a big fancy wedding and everything is a little last minute! Due to COVID restrictions changing, we have been waiting since 2019 and feel like we will just settle on this date now. We may not be able to invite everyone to the ceremony and/or the reception so we hope you understand the choices we are making. We are not sending out Save the Dates, or RSVPs due to the short time frame. If you are unable to make it we understand. If you were not directly invited and would like to come, please feel free to reach out and we will see if we can get you into one of the venues.
By that we mean, we don't want speeches. Kla has an aversion to "white people dancing" and witnessing that for longer periods of time may give her anxiety. Neither Russell nor Kla really cares about food. However, Kla being the alcohol enthusiast that she is wanted to safely include alcohol at the wedding. Thus a normal ceremony and reception did not fit our style. We choose to do a ceremony showing off the most important aspects of the ceremony and reception and having it, not short and sweet, but the medium length and palatable. We do not condone drinking and driving. Either take an uber or drink under your limit. We will be having a fairly classical ceremony at Oshawa city hall. We will be having the parts of the reception we do enjoy. Dancing for those who would like to do so is fine, but there will likely not be a dance floor. There will be time to say your congrats and we will be walking around. The reception will only really include beer and potentially some other beverages for the gluten-fres folks. Don't expect anything fancy as we are having this at an industrial brewery. Imagine this... Les Miserable or other terrible music Kla enjoys will be on repeat for 4 hours, very sour and strange beers will be drunk while being over-analyzed, maybe some MTG, boardgames or ghost blitz will be played, little small talk, and many more unappealing things to most people. This is where the people may need to have places to stay which will be arranged if you are coming to the after party. We did not want all of our guest to suffer through what Kla and Russell would have to be a perfect night.
