FAQs

Question

What is the deadline to RSVP?

Answer

Our official deadline is July 1, but the earlier the better so that we can get a sense of numbers. If it gets to be July 2, and we still haven't heard from you, we will hire goons to knock on your door and bother you incessantly.

Question

How do we RSVP

Answer

Click on the "RSVP" button and then type in your first and last name. If that doesn't work, please don't hesitate to email us at amcd2718@gmail.com.

Question

Why have a wedding in California?

Answer

This is where we live and we like it here.

Question

What is SLO?

Answer

SLO is short for San Luis Obispo.

Question

How is "San Luis Obispo" Pronounced?

Answer

According to Wikipedia, it's " san LOO-iss ə-BISS-poh". Note that "Luis" is Spanish, not French, so don't ignore the "s". For further clarification, listen to the first 14 seconds of the song "Dance Music" by the Mountain Goats.

Question

How far is the Ocean?

Answer

Not far at all! It's around 10 miles to the closest beach towns.

Question

How rustic is this barn, and does it affect my choice of shoe?

Answer

The barn itself is quite rustic, but there is a floor. The property the venue is on has pavers in some places and gravel in others (don't worry about lawns or mud!)

Question

I'm confused about the dress code.

Answer

That's not a question, but we can answer anyway. No need to overthink it! If dressing up sounds exciting, then have fun dressing up. If not, then just put in a moderate effort to not look like a slob. Our biggest rule is to please refrain from wearing a white dress unless your name is Julia.

Question

Are there any events other than the Wedding Itself?

Answer

We are having a small welcome event on Friday night 5:30-8:30pm at the Ventana Grill in Pismo Beach. Because of space restrictions, some guests (especially more local guests), will initially only be invited to the Wedding itself. Nevertheless, as RSVPs come in, we will likely be able to extend the invitation to more guests (and will let you know by email).

Question

Are Children Welcome?

Answer

Children are welcome, as long as you are able to look after them; we will not be providing childcare. Also, please let us know ahead of time of any children who will be attending.

Question

Why is it called the "Octagon Barn"?

Answer

We think that you will understand upon arrival.

Question

What if I have other questions?

Answer

Feel free to email Alex at amcd2718@gmail.com

Question

I'm thinking of getting married in the future. Do you recommend using Zola for our wedding site?
