FAQs

Question

How did you meet?

Answer

On Tinder. JK. 😇 Read "Our Story" on the Home page of this site for all the juicies.

Question

Have you set a date?

Answer

Yes. That's what this website is for. 😜 August 17 is the New York wedding. September 2 is the Branson reception. Read through this here site for all the deets and treats.

Question

When are you going to start having children?

Answer

After the wedding. Next...

Question

How do I know which event(s) I've been invited to?

Answer

This is the question that almost made us elope. JK. But seriously...came pretty close. We totally recognize that who is and who isn't invited to a wedding and reception is a sensitive subject. As explained on the "Events" page we have had to limit the guest list for the New York Wedding & Reception to family and a few close friends only. It will be a small private event. The Branson Reception, on the other hand, can accommodate a lot more friends and family and will be more of a public event - although both events will still require an RSVP so that we can get an accurate count/estimate of how many will be in attendance. Please see the RSVP page for instructions on how to RSVP for the event(s) you've been invited to. Please understand that we've done our very best and that, if we're not able to invite you to New York due to the small and private nature of that event, the Branson Reception will still be really special and that we wish we could have invited everyone to everything.

Question

Where is the ceremony?

Answer

See Events page.

Question

Where is the reception?

Answer

See Events page.

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

For both New York and Branson, you'll want to arrive a good 5 hours ahead of time to beat the hordes of hangers-on coming to view the celebrity spectacle these events will surely be. We're expecting Beyonce, Cardi B, Chuck Norris, Tupac and maybe even an appearance from Thor himself. So, yeah, we'd suggest an early arrival. For the New York Wedding and Reception, we'd recommend a 15-30 minutes ahead-of-time arrival. For the Branson reception, arriving 5-10 minutes early or as you're able throughout the evening will work just fine. Please just pay attention to The Branson Reception program schedule on the Events page and be sensitive to the special events going on throughout the evening. Thanks. :)

Question

Do I have to mail back my RSVP or can I RSVP online?

Answer

My Little Pony Express is slowest but cheapest. Please RSVP online to the events you've been invited to using the RSVP page above. It's a pretty slick system and will allow us to track confirmed guests most effectively. :)

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

March 20, 2017. As soon as you're able, please. We'd appreciate your consideration in this matter as we have to make food, budgeting, venue and other decisions that somewhat depend on the number of people in attendance. Thanks in advance for submitting your RSVP as quickly as possible. :)

Question

What is the dress code for your wedding?

Answer

See Events page.

Question

Are there any colours you would prefer me not to wear at the wedding ceremony?

Answer

Red, due to the bulls in the petting zoo and how attracted they are to most red cloth. Actually, traditionally white and red are discouraged wardrobe colors at a wedding (i.e. full white or red suits or dresses, etc.). Since the New York Wedding and Reception will be outdoors we would also recommend no black clothing in order to avoid unnecessary heat issues.

Question

Will there be a shuttle to and/or from the hotel?

Answer

See Travel page.

Question

Have you reserved hotel room blocks?

Answer

See Travel page.

Question

Are there any local places you’d recommend I visit while I’m in town?

Answer

The White House and the Parthenon are musts. We'd also recommend a guided tour of Teotihuacan and the Mayan ruins near the island of Oahu. In all honesty, this is a big topic for both of our hometowns. Both Newburgh, NY and Branson, MO have a lot of cool tourist attractions, historical sites, eateries and other things to do. Just search it up! If you'd like specific recommendations, feel free to email minaandbrydon@gmail.com, but you'll probably do just as well by doing a little online research. :)

Question

Is there parking available near the ceremony and reception venues?

Answer

Yes, there is parking available at both New York and Branson venues. There is also a zipline landing pad that Mina will be using for her processional entry. You are free to use that before and after the ceremony.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

As long as you're willing to split your rolls, your baby carrots and your mini hot dog thingies. :) JK. Please refer to your invitation. Due to the intimate nature of the NY Wedding & Reception, that list is very specific and is by invite only. But for the Branson Reception you can definitely bring a plus one. Just let us know ahead of time if you can.

Question

Can I bring my children?

Answer

We believe that children are our future... NY: As space is limited, we are limiting children in attendance to our nieces and nephews. Branson: Yes. You can bring your kiddos along.

Question

Will the ceremony be taking place indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Kinda both really. We'll be lowering Brydon in via rocket pack through the retractable roof in the church ceiling. At that point the space will become a sort of courtyard/arbortetum and we'll let the bulls run. Bring your running shoes. The New York Wedding and Reception will be held outdoors. The Branson Reception will also be indoors.

Question

What type of food will be served?

Answer

For the NY Wedding and Reception, the meal will be Italian and it will be delicious. For the Branson Reception, we'll be having a super fun cereal bar plus savory selections as well.

Question

Will there be vegan/vegetarian/gluten-free food options?

Answer

Please contact us if you have specific dietary needs.

Question

Where are you registered?

Answer
