Question

Can we spend some extra time with you?

Answer

We would love to be able to visit with everyone who is able to come in for the wedding as much as possible, however to keep stress down with everything that will be going on, we have to limit our time. Please join us Friday evening from 5-8 or so at the Roanoke Village Inn for drinks and supper! A preselected menu will be provided with prices. We hope to see you here as well to visit before the big day! We also plan on having breakfast at the hotel the morning after ☺️ Update: the hotel is not currently offering breakfast due to the current stupidity. Other options are being looked into. I’ll post as soon as I have more details ☺️ One option is to go to a little local restaurant called Sara’s. Located on 24 in front of Kroger, across the street practically from the hotel... No arrangements will be made but if breakfast is available, we can just meet there. They’re good is also delicious 😋

Question

Will food and drinks be served?

Answer

Yes, of course! We are planning a delicious BBQ potluck style buffet. Be adventurous, it’s all oh so good! Small selection of beer (Miller Lite and Coors light mostly) and homemade wine will be available as well as Iced tea, Lemonade and water. No hard alcohol will be provided or allowed. The homemade wine is pretty strong... Feel free to bring a cooler with your favorite beverage though if we’re not providing it ☺️ Drinks and Appetizers for snacking before the ceremony and or after such a meat and cheese platter and a veggie platter will be provided We made our own summer sausage! Make sure to try some!

Question

What time will the celebration go until?

Answer

We plan to wrap things up by 9pm. Nice and early. However if the party isn’t ready to slow down, we can get a Bluetooth speaker and keep it going a little while longer ☺️

Question

Can I bring my own drinks?

Answer

Please feel free to bring a cooler with your favorite beverage if we’re not providing it. We only ask no hard alcohol be brought on the property.

Question

Do you have a plan regarding Covid 19?

Answer

If only a few people are able to attend due to Covid 19, we are still going to get married on June 6th. We have enough people attending so we are moving forward with all plans. Nothing will be rescheduled at this point. No further dates will be planned as uncertainty is always going to be there, coronavirus or not. It makes no sense to reschedule our wedding at this time. If you wish to wear a mask and “social distance” go ahead.
