Question

What should I do to prepare for the trip/event?

Answer

To help keep everyone safe, especially our immunocompromised loved ones, we strongly urge that you wear an N95 mask in indoor crowded public spaces for a week before June 9th, and in the airport/plane. Masks will not be required at the wedding, as it's outdoors. We’re so grateful for your care in helping to keep our loved ones healthy. It's the best gift we could ask for.

Question

Will the wedding be entirely outside?

Answer

Yes! The ceremony and reception will take place in the gardens at the McCreery House. In case of rain, tents will keep us covered so we can still be outdoors. The McCreery house itself is a beautifully restored historic home from the 1890s and will be open if anyone needs a quiet moment.

For the safety of our guests, especially our loved ones who are immunocompromised, we ask that you stay home if you're feeling unwell or have any symptoms whatsoever. We are so grateful for your help in keeping everyone safe.

Question

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

Answer

We’re keeping the ceremony unplugged so we can all be fully present. We promise there will be plenty of beautiful photos to come. Please take all the photos and videos you want after this point, and share them with us!

Question

How do I adjust to the altitude/climate?

Answer

Loveland/Fort Collins, Colorado is at around 5,000 feet in elevation. This is not high enough to cause severe altitude sickness, but some people do experience mild altitude symptoms. You may notice that you get tired more easily and some light-headedness for the first few days, but that's usually the extent of it. Some people don't notice anything. BUT, for those who are used to humid climates, Colorado will likely be much drier than you're used to. You can dehydrate fast here. Here's how to handle the adjustment: -Drinking lots of water and avoiding processed foods helps a lot. -Be gentle with yourself the first few days. Do not go on any higher elevation hikes at first or exercise rigorously, no matter how good your cardio is where you come from. -Avoid alcohol. Many people report that drinking alcohol makes the altitude and dryness adjustment so much more unpleasant.
