Question
Gifts?
Answer
We have everything we need and would love for you to consider donating books to Anaik's Loving Library. My young friend, Anaik, had the idea to create the library after he and his younger brother had to live in quarantine for several weeks while his family dealt with Covid. He had a lot of time on his hands and reading became his favorite form of entertainment (and virtual escape). Anaik's Loving Library brings books to patients (and soon patients at a homeless health clinic) who are dealing with the isolation created by Covid. You can read more about this incredible boy and his idea here: https://www.inspiremore.com/anaiks-loving-library/ We will be collecting monetary donations and books at the wedding, or you can purchase books from his wish list here: https://anaikslovinglibrary.org/

Question
Can I bring a date?
Answer
We are trying to keep this event as intimate and personal as possible, with close friends and family only. We appreciate your understanding.
Question
What's the dress code?
Answer
Whatever you feel comfortable in, keeping in mind you are attending an event that is very special to us and there will be photos lasting a lifetime ;-). BRING LAYERS! The temperature will drop into the 60s once the sun begins to set.
Question
Will you feed me?
Answer
Yes. We will have cocktails, mocktails, and the typical non-alcoholic drinks available, as well as an adult meal and meals for the kids. If you have dietary restrictions (vegetarian, gluten-free, etc.) please reach out to me and let me know.
Question
Can I party?
Answer
Yes! But the adult partying will take place after the wedding and reception. We'll have a group outing for an after-party somewhere in the Scottsdale area near the hotel. Things may be extra colorful since the town will likely be out in costumes!
