FAQs
Question
What time will the vow exchange take place?
Answer
We are asking people to arrive around 3:00 pm, and plan to exchange vows around 3:30 pm. This should give people plenty of time in case they are running a little late, but will still be early enough so that anyone who isn't able to stay very long won't miss it.
Question
Are children welcome?
Answer
Yes! As we have our own little one, we are looking forward to other children attending so that Leia will have people closer to her age to play with :)
Question
What is the appropriate attire for this event?
Answer
This is more of a casual party rather than your typical wedding event, so please wear whatever you are comfortable in, as long as it is appropriate attire to wear around children! (If you would be arrested walking into a grocery store in your planned attire, then it is not appropriate ;)
Question
What will the parking situation be like?
Answer
We live on a quiet residential road, which has no outlet. There should be room to park on our street, or the cross street right next to our house, if the driveway is full. Please park only on the side of the road that our house is on, and be mindful not to block any driveways.
Question
What if I am unable to bring a potluck dish?
Answer
We ask that you attempt to bring something to contribute, even if it is just a 12-pack of soda, a bag of chips, or bottle of wine. However, if extenuating circumstances do not allow you a chance to get anything, we would rather see our friends and family attend, then to have anyone left out because they are unable to bring anything. And of course, anyone who may come from out-of-town would be in a very inconvenient position to bring anything, which is understandable, and we will not hold it against them! (Given the short notice and casual nature of this event, we are not expecting many of our out-of-town friends and family to be able to join us, so please don't feel bad if you can't make it...we understand!)
Question
What are other people bringing for the potluck?
Answer
I plan to keep a comprehensive list in the 'Schedule' section of this website, so please check there for more information. If you can't find it, please let us know, and we will make sure you get access to the information!
Question
Will there be alcohol at this event?
Answer
Yes...we do plan to have some wine and beer, and maybe a small amount of liquor on hand, and you are welcome (possibly even encouraged) to bring some to contribute. As there will be children around, we will designate a place to keep it where tiny hands can't easily get to it. Parents of the children in attendance should be attentive to their children and help ensure that they do not cause or get into serious trouble. We are also requesting that all guests that choose to imbibe will do so responsibly and keep in mind that there are children around :)
Question
Where are you registered?
Answer
Please see the registry section of this website. There is one item set up on this website, which allows people to make contributions in any amount to cash fund that we can use to make home improvements to our new house, or help with expenses for our beloved baby (who is actually a toddler now). This is our number one preferred gift, but there is also a link on this website to our Amazon.com registry, if gifting money makes you uncomfortable. Gifts are always appreciated, but not mandatory! :D
