Question

Bar, Drinks, Alcohol, Booze, Hooch, Spirits, Moonshine, Brewski, Bubbly, Liquid Courage, Dance Helper

Answer

There will be none... we are in Amish country! AH, who are we kidding... YES, there will be a bar! Starting at the Cocktail Hour with our special drink, a Snakebite (Angry Orchard - Melanie's favorite & Yuengling Lager - Chris's favorite), the bar will be available from then until 9:30pm. Since we won't notice the time as we party until 10pm, make sure you help yourself to a wonderful selection of beer, wines, spirits... especially Melanie's Dad's favorite - Old Fashioneds. Of course, we ask all of you to drink responsibly and if you have too much, we will gladly help arrange for either a hotel room or transportation.
