Question

Can we give a speech?

Answer

We'd be happy and honored if you want to give a speech! However, we are many people and have little time. Therefore, we will keep Saturday night speeches for the immediate family members. Other family and friends will be able to give a speech during the Friday night dinner. If you want to give a speech, please let us know in advance for planning purposes :)

Question

What time does the wedding end?

Answer

The music will end at midnight, and we are allowed to stay until 1 am. For those who wish to continue the celebration, there are clubs and karaoke bars in the surrounding neighborhoods with an Uber ride away. You would have to organize yourself though and keep in mind that most bars in L.A. close at 2:00am ;)

Question

Will I still be receiving an invitation?

Answer

Yes! We will send a formal invitation by post about 2 months before the wedding.

Question

Wedding nights are formal (same as in Denmark for the most part. Long dresses are more common, but that's up to you)! You can always ask if you're in doubt.

Visting Yosemite National Park?

Answer

During your visit to CA, we highly recommend a visit to Yosemite National Park if you have time. It's about a 5/6 hour drive from LA depending on traffic.
