YES! Valet parking will be available, and your car will be safe and sound in a gated lot behind the home. There are also Ubers/Taxis in St. Charles (to avoid drinking and driving) to and from your hotel or home.
Nate and I will be in slightly informal, formal wear, so based on that, do with it what you want and dress for early June summer weather as the party will be an indoor/outdoor event.
No, is the short answer. Nate and I are already husband and wife after a beautiful intimate ceremony with our immediate family. Ted & Tanya Meyers have graciously opened up their new home for us to celebrate our marriage with our extended family and friends, so the arrival time is not a hard start because of an exchange of vows. Arriving anytime around 5:30pm to start the party is great by us!
To be honest...MONEY! As many of you already know, we love to save our BENJAMINS for new projects, vacations, etc.! While the absolute greatest gift is merely your presence, our next in line for most wanted gift is in the form of a monetary donation to the Nate + Amanda (and now Meadow) Wedding/Life Fund.
