Do I have to bring a gift?

Of course not! Helping with the setup/cleanup would be gift enough! Offer your services and we will play to your strengths. We are just grateful to get everyone together. We understand you are taking time out of your lives to be there and we appreciate your presence.
Question
What is an unplugged ceremony?
Answer
Thank you for asking! The Bride and Groom would like to request that you silence your phones and put them away during the ceremony. We understand how tempting it may be to snap a quick pic of us at the alter but we ask that you refrain from doing so. There will be a professional photographer present, we will see to it that whomever would like the ceremony pictures will receive a copy. Once the ceremony is complete feel free to take as many pictures as you would like. The reason for this request is we want all of our delightful guests to be as present in the moment as possible. Thank you.
Question
Will there be parking?
Answer
Yes, there will be on site parking. It is not an official lot so bring your sedan at your own risk. Parking will be available in one of the Nielson's fields that will be mowed and made as level as possible.
Question
Why are there 3 days on the schedule?
Answer
There’s a simple explanation for that! We are treating this as a family reunion of sorts. The first day is to gather your bearings, explore your surroundings, and get comfortable. The second day is for the ceremony and celebration of the wedding. Finally, the third day is to relax and enjoy each other’s company.
