Question
Any recommendations for a sitting service for children during the wedding and reception?
Answer
If you need to make arrangements for sitting and you don't have any immediate options available to you, this website is for a service that specifically offers "daycare" for weddings. https://weddingnightcare.com *********A message from them. $60/child -**No time restraint from beginning to end of reception** Our rates per child is cheaper then the average cost for a sitter or caregiver. Once you pay the $60, you won't pay a dime more no matter how long the wedding reception goes. May 4th is available.
Question
What are your reception colors?
Answer
Our colors are light blue, dark blue, & white with silver star accents. Yes, we know that is kind of like a certain Texas NFL team with famous cheerleaders, but we claim no affiliation. Think Millennium Falcon when Lando Calrissian owned it.
Question
Is there a specific dress code? Costumes?
Answer
We know we've been sort of promoting this as somewhat of a Star Wars wedding, celebrating our shared fandom. However, we're not extending that to costumes for attendance. To the other extreme, as much as Mark wants to declare "tuxedo night" as if Barney and Ted planned the event, coat and tie is the norm. Ladies, usual wedding attire is a go.
Question
Can I wear white to your wedding?
Answer
Simple answer: yes. We're not hung up on any strict fashion traditions or superstitions. Besides, no matter how good you look that day, we're all in agreement that the bride and groom are the best looking couple in the universe for the duration of the ceremony, reception, and any after party. RIGHT?
Question
Is there an after party?
Answer
As of now (3/31), nothing specific is planned. But we do predict one will happen and the Monkey Bar is very near the venue. With the reception ending at 9, there's no reason to expect the night to end for everyone that early. If specific plans get made, we'll update this answer.
Question
Weren't you looking for donations or budget help or something?
Answer
Simple answer: yes. You see, Mark's mother, Sandra Marquette, is covering the lion's share of expenses for this event. We would love to be able to recoup some of her outlay or take some of the burden from her. However, our combined income is not very high. So it occurred to us that we could provide an alternative to gifts if guests prefer. And gofundme gave the option prior to envelopes in the card box on the day of. So, we made a gofundme page. We don't expect to see any more donations to it, but it is available if you so choose to contribute.************ https://www.gofundme.com/so-we039re-getting-married ************NO ONE is required or expected to contribute. Contributions already made are highly appreciated and they were used toward the purchase of Mark's wedding ring.
