Frequently Asked Questions

Question

What is the dress code for the day?

Answer

We are going for a relaxed, Beach Wear vibe for our celebration! Since we’ll be in the beautiful Lowcountry, we want you to be comfortable, though we do ask that your attire remains modest and appropriate for a synagogue setting. For the ceremony, we kindly ask that guests wear a head covering; whether you choose a headband, fascinator, or scarf, please know that we will also have kippahs available at the entrance for anyone who needs one. Think breezy and coastal, yet respectful for our ceremony as we step into this new chapter together.

Question

What should I know about the Thursday timeline?

Answer

Since we are celebrating on a Thursday, we recommend allowing a little extra travel time for afternoon traffic as you head toward the ceremony. We chose a Thursday date because we observe Shabbos, a 24-hour period from Friday night to Saturday night where we unplug from technology, work, and use the car only to drive to synagogue to study the Torah & socialize. By hosting our wedding mid-week, it allows us to fully engage in the festivities with you before we transition into our traditional time of rest and reflection.

Question

Are children welcome to join the festivities?

Answer

Absolutely! We would love to have your children celebrate alongside us. For those who might be interested in a babysitting service during the evening, please reach out to us directly. We are happy to help coordinate this, and knowing your plans will help us get an accurate head count to ensure everyone is looked after.

Question

What are the traditions we will see during the ceremony?

Answer

We are so moved to share these ancient and beautiful rituals with you as we begin our life together. You will see us stand under the Chuppah, a wedding canopy that represents the new home we are building, open on all sides to welcome our family and friends. The ceremony includes the Kiddushin, the formal sanctification of our commitment, and the signing of the Ketubah, our marriage contract that outlines our promises to one another. We will also share in the Sheva Brachot, or Seven Blessings, which celebrate themes of joy, companionship, and the creation of the world. At the conclusion of the ceremony, the Breaking of the Glass serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life and the shared history of the Jewish people. Following the ceremony, we will share a private moment of Yichud, a brief time of seclusion to reflect on our new union before joining everyone for the Seudah, the festive meal and celebration that follows.

Question

Are you registered for gifts?

Answer

Your presence on our special day truly is the greatest gift of all, and we are so grateful to have you celebrate with us. Since we have been married for six wonderful years, our home is already full of the essentials we need. Should you wish to honor our marriage with a gift, we kindly invite you to contribute toward our future goals through Venmo (@NickiEPage) or Zelle (701-527-5389). If you would like to bring an envelope to the wedding, a box will be available. Your generosity will help us as we continue to grow the life we have built together.
