Technology will be used to connect all of us as we say our vows. Via computer we will share all of the things you would expect from a wedding. You'll just be watching from your homes. We will be able to see each other, talk to one another. We still will have our dear friend officiate, albeit from Minnesota.
A couple of practical tips: Gretta Schultz from Wedfuly will be moderating the wedding on Zoom. She will control the mute and unmute buttons for you. The ceremony will start on July 4 at 7:00 pm EDT / 4:00 pm PDT. However, please join the Zoom call between 6:30 pm – 6:45 pm EDT / 3:30 – 3:45 PDT so that we can ensure the technology is working. For you to participate, your computer / laptop / tablet will need a camera and a microphone. While not optimal, you can use your smart phone. To join the wedding, you must download Zoom: https://zoom.us/download. Once Zoom is downloaded, simply click on the link sent by us via e-mail, or cut and paste the link below into your browser at the appropriate time (no password is required): https://wedfuly.zoom.us/j/92410601199 After the ceremony, attendees will be broken into groups, much like tables at a live wedding. You will be able to talk to the people in your group, and we will come “visit” you over the course of the evening.
No gifts, please. Your love and support are all we need. However, if you would like to give something, please consider a donation on behalf of Camp Blue Star in our honor. Your kind support provides an underprivileged child the experience of a lifetime. The donation page, which is part of the American Camp Association, is a bit confusing so please get in touch with questions. You must indicate the donation is on behalf of an organization and type in Camp Blue Star. You should indicate that the gift is being made in honor of someone and type in one of our names. Our address, so we may be notified of your generosity, is 878 Estancia Way, San Rafael, CA 94903. https://acacamps.formstack.com/forms/donate You can also write a check payable to the ACA Campership Program, 5000 State Road 67 N, Martinsville, IN 46151. You must write Camp Blue Star in the lower left memo line. Please include a cover note asking them to inform us at the address listed above.
We would love to know who plans to participate and need your RSVP to make sure the technology runs smoothly. Please click on the RSVP tab on this website by Sunday, June 14, 2020. We ask that you share your e-mail so we can provide you the Zoom link and your phone number in case we need to be in touch.
As planned before, we will be dressed for a California garden party. Although you will be on camera, no need to put on your jacket and tie. Be comfortable.
