FAQs

Question

How much does the lodge cost?

Answer

Nothing to you! All you have to worry about is flight and possible rental car costs, unless you choose to stay in a hotel.

Question

Do I have to stay all 4 nights in the lodge?

Answer

Nope! Stay as many as you like. Just let me know for sleeping arrangement purposes.

Question

What is the weather going to be like?

Answer

The average temperature in September is 56° / 40° F (high and low) with 7 days of rain. But lately, who knows?

Question

What happens if it's raining on the 13th?

Answer

We go ahead as planned, so bring a rain coat and umbrella!

Question

What should I pack?

Answer

If you want to go on hikes with us, I would suggest some good shoes. We won't be doing anything extremely strenuous or perilous, but might hit 5-10 miles. I like wearing leggings and a lot of layers so I can shed as I get hot from moving. Make sure you have your SO bring a backpack you can stow all your layers in :) Otherwise, I don't think we will be doing anything too crazy, so probably just the normal stuff will work.

Question

Where will the wedding ceremony be?

Answer

It will be somewhere in the Hoh rainforest probably, but we haven't picked an exact location yet. We won't pick anywhere that is very strenuous to get to, so don't worry if you're not a big hiker / been hitting the eggnog a little too hard this year.

Question

What is the wedding ceremony dress code?

Answer

It will be in a (probably muddy) rainforest, so something casual. Dress up as much as you like if you want some ~moody~ pictures, but I would suggest jeans or leggings or something you'd wear on a hike. Theo and Kristy will be in a dress and suit, but just for the pics.

Question

Is there going to be a rehearsal dinner or brunch the next day?

Answer

No, nothing formal. We will probably do a dinner with the whole group on the 13th, but other than that you're on your own! We will stock the kitchen so people can cook there, but you don't have to.

Question

How are you guys so cool and laid back?

Answer

We are both mentally 80 years old. And tired.

Question

Are we going to spend the whole weekend at the Twilight Festival, or will there be some breaks?

Answer

Unfortunately, we won't be at the festival 24/7. However, we will be driving through Forks to get to the Hoh Rainforest so.... We'll see :)

Question

What about all of the other people in your lives you want to celebrate with?

Answer

We will have a big party for everyone later! Probably in Kansas City, probably the summer after the National Park wedding. We'll letcha know when we know!

Question

There's no registry. How do I know what you want?

Answer

I would really like to stress that your presence is present enough! However, if you do feel inclined to get us something, cash/ Venmo is probably the best way for us. We haven't decided on a honeymoon yet, but it will probably be somewhere out of the country. We also have been talking about renovating an old camper so we can visit more parks and could definitely use a fund for that. It seems like most places (including Zola) charge some fee for cash donations and that's dumb. So let's try to avoid that.

Question

Should I watch the Twilight series if I haven't seen it?

Answer

First of all, how have you not seen it???? But yes. Kristy will probably be making a ton of references - to the point of being annoying but you can't say anything since it's ~*her*~ day, so you might as well just accept it. Probably best to watch through twice, just to be safe.

Question

I have another question that isn't answered.

Answer

Just text us! Good lord.
