FAQs

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Question

Do guests need to bring anything?

Answer

Gifts, cards, and cash are all wonderful and deeply appreciated, though entirely optional. We'll have a gift table and card box set up in our reception area for your convenience, should you wish to leave anything.

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

Yes, we are! You can find our registry linked right here in the tabs above labeled Registry.

Question

I’ve never been to a gay wedding before, are they different?

Answer

We've never been to any either, so don't worry! The only difference you can expect is that everyone in attendance at our wedding is full of radical love and support for ours and any other same-sex marriage. We recognize that loving us individually is not the same as loving our love. If you find yourself in this boat, we fully support and encourage you sending your love virtually!

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Yes! We're envisioning a formal garden party atmosphere. We do ask that guests refrain from wearing white, as this color is reserved for the brides. **For our female guests:** We'd love to see you in summery or spring hues and florals—color is absolutely encouraged, whether soft or vibrant. Midi or maxi length dresses or two-piece ensembles are perfect. **For our male guests:** Please dress to impress in light, colorful tones and/or florals. Linen pants, button-ups, or a suit and tie all work beautifully.

Question

How do I RSVP?

Answer

To RSVP, please send us a direct email confirming your attendance and that of any other guests named on your invitation. This helps us finalize our headcount accurately. We kindly ask that additional guests not be added, as space is limited and we want to ensure we have plenty of food for all our invited guests. Please email us at celmel2026@gmail.com.
