Question

When should I RSVP by?When should I RSVP by?

Answer

For guests who have received their Save The Date and have advanced knowledge on their ability or desire to attend, please RSVP on website BEFORE July 3rd. For guests waiting to receive formal invitations, please RSVP on website BEFORE September 3rd. If you RSVP and at any point your attendance ability changes, please revisit the website and update your attendance status. DO NOT message the bride and groom with your RSVP decision. We have a lot going on and will likely not see or will forget if you messaged us your RSVP. Doing it through the website is the most reliable, stress-free way!

Question

How should I RSVP?How should I RSVP?

Answer

Whether you have both the formal invitation and Save The Date or just the Save The Date, RSVP through our wedding website, please! If you're not tech-savvy, please have someone help you. We will not have paper RSVPs because they are too hard to keep track of.

Question

What happens if I don't RSVP by the latest RSVP date or at all?What happens if I don't RSVP by the latest RSVP date or at all?

Answer

If you don't RSVP before formal invitations are set to go out or you don't RSVP at all, you WILL be marked as "Unable to attend". RSVPing is so important because it gives us a good idea on final numbers for food, drinks, seating, etc. So, unfortunately, if you don't RSVP by the latest suggested date or at all, you will not be added to the final guest list, even if you had full intention to attend. If you fully plan on coming to the wedding, you NEED to RSVP!!!

Question

Is there a dress code?Is there a dress code?

Answer

THERE SURE IS! It is semi-formal and in our wedding colors! If you don't really know what semi-formal wedding attire looks like, there is an example at the top of this page or you can also Google it! Also, floral and tropical designs are strongly encouraged but absolutely not required:) This should go without saying, but NO white/off-white or majority white/off-white dresses or jumpsuits! If you show up wearing a white, ivory, eggshell, etc. dress or jumpsuit, you WILL be asked to change. Also, NO JEANS of any kind or color. They do not qualify as semi-formal wear, even with a nice button-up shirt. No, we don't care if they're nice/new Levi's. Yes, we will notice, even if they're black. Yes, we will be asking you to find actual dress pants. They can even be corduroy dress pants, just as long as they're not jeans. Don't own dress pants? You have plenty of time before the wedding to find some:)

Question

Do I have a plus one?Do I have a plus one?

Answer

All Save The Dates and invitations are addressed to exactly who is invited. Unless your invitation says "[Your name] & Guest"- no, you do not have a plus one. If you receive a Save The Date and have a FIANCE or SPOUSE we forgot, please message either the bride or groom so they can be added to the guest list and to your formal invitation. Please, DO NOT show up with an uninvited guest! We need accurate guest numbers for food and beverages!

Question

Are kids welcome?Are kids welcome?

Answer

HELL NO- at least no kids under the age of 16. The only kids invited are those in the bride and groom's immediate family, bridal party, and others approved by ONLY the bride and groom. No one else has the authority to say yes to other children attending. We have nothing against everyone else's kids. We love kids! But we do not want to add the possibility of a crowd of kids scream-crying, wandering off, getting into things they shouldn't be, or getting hurt to the 'Stress List'. If you have a very valid reason as to why your children need to be in attendance with you, please message the bride or groom. Otherwise, there's plenty of time to find babysitters, and if you are unable to make it, we understand!

Question

What time should I arrive at the venue?What time should I arrive at the venue?

Answer

Not AT 3 PM! The ceremony will START right around 3. Guests should arrive just before or BY 2:30 PM, make their way to the ceremony area, and be seated before 3. If you would like to assist in any last minute setting up, you may arrive at 1:30 PM.

Question

Are there unique aspects or cultural inclusions in your wedding?Are there unique aspects or cultural inclusions in your wedding?

Answer

Yes! Because I (Kamille) am half Filipino and have a love and appreciation for my culture, Kyle and I agreed to have small inclusions in the decor and food, with the one bigger inclusion being in the ceremony. We will be incorporating the "Veil and Cord" Filipino wedding ceremony into ours, right before we continue on to our vows.

Question

What is the "Veil and Cord" ceremony?What is the "Veil and Cord" ceremony?

Answer

While the Veil and Cord ceremony has Catholic roots, our incorporation of it is non-religious. It is a cultural, symbolic ritual celebrating unity and partnership. Two selected sponsors drape a white veil over the couple’s shoulders, representing protection and shared life. The officiant will read the symbolism and meaning of the Veil. Two other sponsors will follow after, placing over the couple, a figure-eight shaped cord (yugal), symbolizing everlasting love and binding them together. The officiant will also read the symbolism and meaning of the Cord. After the officiant's reading, the sponsor pairs will come back up to the couple and remove the Veil and Cord, and we will continue on to our vows. Traditionally, the Veil and Cord ceremony is done after the vow readings, but we wanted our vows to each other to be the main, sweet moment of our wedding ceremony.

Question

Is there an open bar?Is there an open bar?

Answer

One of the most important questions! As of this moment, we are finalizing pricing and details, but yes! There will be an open bar with a signature Groom cocktail, signature Bride cocktail, champagne and/or prosecco, and a few beer/canned drink choices. There will also be non-alcoholic options such as Dr. Pepper, Martinelli's, lemonade, water, etc. NOTE: If you plan on enjoying the alcoholic drinks at the open bar- PLEASE, be mindful of how many drinks you have. We want people to relax and have fun, but we also don't want anyone getting too rowdy or end up sick and losing their dinner.

Question

Are you registered? Where?Are you registered? Where?

Answer

We are registered on Zola and Amazon, and there is also a link to our Amazon registry on our "Registry" wedding website tab.

Question

Is everything in the same place?Is everything in the same place?

Answer

Yes, the ceremony and reception are in the same location. The ceremony is held on an outside lawn area, and the reception will be a super short walk down inside a barn space. There is also parking in a field area right next to the venue.

Question

What will the weather be like?What will the weather be like?

Answer

We chose our date specifically because it's usually the time of year where it's not crazy hot during the day and cools off (but is not super cold) towards the evening. There's a small chance it might become a tad bit chilly. So, we recommend packing along a light jacket or sweater just in case. Also, weather is always unpredictable, and there's always the off chance that rain could be in the forecast. So, we also recommend tossing an umbrella in your car just to have.

Question

What kind of music will you be playing?What kind of music will you be playing?

Answer

All different kinds! Some artists that will be played include: Kendrick Lamar, Baby Keem, SZA, Bruno Mars, GloRilla, $uicideboy$, amongst many others. That being said, we will be playing songs that have explicit/curse words in them. No clean or radio versions here! If that might be an issue for you, try earplugs! Or just practice being indifferent/unbothered! The few kids in attendance have heard worse or won't even remember them with all the other music that will be playing. Don't forget to send us a song request! (No Taylor Swift, sorry!)

Question

What kind of behavior is expected from guests?What kind of behavior is expected from guests?

Answer

Just be loving, kind, respectful, and have fun! We will have eyes and ears everywhere. So, if it gets back to the bride and groom that anyone is doing or saying anything unwarranted and disrespectful/rude about them, their families, or bridal party- you WILL be dealt with. Just come celebrate with us, and leave any drama at home! Because it's not welcome! And the bride will come after you herself if she has to!
