Question
Blessings box
Answer
We would like to ask all guests to bring the following items for our blessings box: Family Photos (including our friends and their new families) Family recipes (please include a note of who the recipe came from) Letters of advice and well-wishes We could have made a registry however, what we truly want is memories we can cherish. Filling our home with photos of loved ones and filling recipe books with our family's favorite meals, means so much more. Help us create future heirlooms so the memories live on forever. If you are looking for another way to help us start our lives together, we do have a nesting fund in the registry tab. Thank you.
Question
Handfasting Ceremony
Answer
The handfasting ceremony is an ancient Celtic practice of binding a couple's hands together to symbolize their commitment to each other. The colors of the cords represent what the couple cherishes most about their partner. The beauty of a Celtic handfasting is that its not only about binding two beings to one another, its about two families coming together to be as one. We are including another tradition from the bride's Scottish roots. The Quaich (pronounced like quake) is a shallow two handed cup traditionally filled with whisky that is shared by the couple, following their vows, then shared with the wedding guests as a symbol of unity between clans or families. However, we will be offering individual champagne flutes with your choice of alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverage to drink with us.

Question
Accommodations for out of town guests
Answer
If you will be needing a hotel room after the wedding there are hotels in the area. However, considering the number of our guests that will be from out of town please make your reservations far enough in advance to secure a room. This is a rural area and we cannot guarantee the rooms will be available otherwise. Following is a list of hotels in the area, most of which we have not stayed at ourselves: Pines Country Inn - 1730 East M21, Owosso MI Comstock Inn - 300 East Main St, Owosso MI Quality Inn - 8511 East Lansing RD, Durand MI Keeping in mind most of our out of town guests are from the westside of Michigan, we highly recommend choosing a hotel in or around Lansing.
