FAQs
Question
Can we stay at your house?
Answer
We do ask that you get rooms at a hotel. We do not want anyone staying at the house please; it is nothing against any of our guests. We are using our house as staging for most of the wedding stuff, because we are doing most of it ourselves and on top of that will have some renovations going on at that time. We will be more than happy to pick you up if needed from the airport, but everyone knows we have a lot of animals many of which are special needs and facilitating extra individuals in the house can be challenging especially with staging and renovations. You are welcome to come visit the house in the days up to the wedding, and in the days after, if you are staying longer in Ohio if you would like. We do ask that when you pull into our driveway you pull in VERY slowly there is a steep ledge off of both sides of the driveway that do require a tow if you go off the edge of them. You will get stuck we promise... Ben has already tried it.
Question
What if we can't make it?
Answer
If you guys are unable to make it, Ben and I will be coming to Oregon and California to see everyone. We will be in the area from January 9th through January 12th. Krystal's mother will be facetiming with a couple of individuals, so that they can watch the ceremony; if this is something you would like to be part of, we can try to set up something more formal so more people can tune in. Just let us know.
Question
Is the ceremony indoor or outdoor?
Answer
Ben and I want to get married in the snow. We have every intention of the ceremony being outdoors and moving indoors afterward. If the weather is horrible (i.e., freezing rain), yes, we will move it indoors. But if it is snowy and cold please remember we planned this time of year intentionally because this is what we were hoping for. We know it is not conventional, and it is not convenient, but we love this time of year and want it to be part of our day.
Question
Can we bring dogs?
Answer
We are permitted to have our dogs there for the ceremony but they are not allowed in the manor and will be put away for the remainder of the ceremony so please do not bring your own dogs.
Question
Is smoking permitted on the premises?
Answer
Since this is a nature preserve we want to be respectful of nature and this areas historical beauty and no smoking is permitted.
