Question

Do we have to stay over at Loch Llyn?

Answer

We now have more than enough room for our guests - however if you would like to extend your trip and enjoy the beauty that Hocking Hills, we encourage you to look into the many private cabin and house rentals in the nearby area. If you need any assistance, please let Emily know - they are happy to answer any questions about the house or alternative places to stay!

Question

Really - no gifts?

Answer

Really. Emily and Cory would prefer to have the effort you put into your outfit and your wonderful presence be the present for this event. As many guests already know we plan to host a large reception next year to celebrate with our extended family. At that time we will be asking guests to donate to Cory's Chipotle Sabbatical fund. If you would like to donate to that fund now we have made it available but please don't feel obligated to do so.

Question

What is Gala Attire?

Answer

Gala Tie attire the highest level of fancy with a creative twist think the Met gala or New York Fashion Week. Floor length gowns or a similar level of drama and unique (not full black!) suits please - we're so excited to create beautiful photos with you! Gala Attire does not have to be expensive but instead should be intentionally glamorous. Do It Yourself, vintage and second-hands queens will always be celebrated in our gatherings. If you need help finding anything from gowns, to suits and DIY accessories you can send your budget and measurements to Emily at philosgeek5@gmail.com with a general idea of what you're looking for and/or how you would like to feel and they will find what you need before the big day. For curious guests, Emily has complied a small Pinterest for further inspiration https://pin.it/1LS2xNh0X We challenge you to truly Out-dress to Impress!

Question

Why is Emily wearing all black?

Simply because they have always wanted to.

Question

What happens if I wear all black?

Answer

Emily gets to dress you in the clothes of their choosing from their closet of costumes they will have brought for photos. You get no say, this is their day. Or you can wear an outfit of your choosing that is not all black.

Question

What - no dancing?

Answer

In order to accommodate Emily's needs we have chosen a quieter celebration. After taking extensive photos and enjoying a delicious meal with our guests, we welcome you to change into comfy clothes and join us for a pajama sleep over party. As long as weather allows we will have a outdoor fire with s'mores and enjoy a movie and games together as a group. Late night pizza will also be served.

Question

Why are we having multiple ceremonies?

Answer

Emily is on the spectrum and has difficulty transitioning between many different social activities in one day. In order to accommodate Emily's social battery and have them truly present on our special day, we have selected our core family group to celebrate with us in a curated private ceremony. Our second ceremony, next year, will be a more traditional simple wedding ceremony followed immediately by a dance party with a buffet service all in the same location. With more traditional wedding games and activities taking place there, not at the private ceremony in December. Everyone invited to our December event will receive an invitation for our 2025 celebration as well and we encourage you to please attend both events!

Question

Why are we waiting to honeymoon?

Answer

As of now we have Ireland, Iceland, Italy and New Zealand on the list of countries we'd like to visit. If you'd like to donate to this trip please see our registry.
