Question

CHILDREN

Answer

As you know, we have asked you not to bring your children unless you have a baby, or you can’t come unless they come with you. WE LOVE YOUR CHILDREN. The reason why we made this choice is because all of you have a lot of kiddos which means about 50 more people at the wedding. However. We are happy for the kids to be there during hang out time on Friday and Sunday playing games and swimming etc. I have arranged for a place and a sitter for Saturday between 2 and 10pm down the road from the wedding. This will not cost very much and she is great with kids.You will still need to supply food for you kids but she will have activities. She can have about 10 kids because she has a helper, so PLEASE let me know if you would like to do this and I will connect you with Emily. Email me at stellafay@gmail.com regarding Emily.

Question

SWIMMING

Answer

We have two ponds that I just got water tested and are safe and awesome to swim in. This is nature, they may have frogs or turtles and fish living in them. They do. The bottoms are gooey, but the water is clean and feels great. Please take care of yourself and your kids if you or they are there with or in the water. We will not have any lifeguard, or extra floaties or anything like that. I have a paddle board and a little boat. Please bring any tubes or towels or any other swim stuff that you need or want.

Question

Ticks and Bugs and Sunshine or Rain

Answer

We do have ticks up here! We prefer to use Cedarcide cedar spray to keep them at bay and we do tick checks every night. Please take care of yourself with the ticks! We also have mosquitos and spiders and butterflies and dragonflies and moths etc… So please bring bug spray. The weekend will be mostly spent outdoors. We do have a large 40 x 60 tent and a barn and a house on the property for shade and comfort. The ceremony will be outside in a field, so please bring anything you may need for that. An umbrella, a hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, a camera, and good walking shoes. We will have some type of transport to the field if you cannot walk, but letting you know we are outside in a field, so please take good care of yourself by being prepared in the best way for you and your family.

Answer

Question

GAMES

Answer

I am hoping to have lots of fun outdoor games for the weekend like badminton and ping pong and croquet, but if you have a game you love and want to bring please do! Always up for more community fun contributions.

Question

INSTRUMENTS

Answer

We have an awesome band for a few hours on Saturday night and some DJ'd music. The rest of the weekend is available for song and dance and play! We LOVE jamming out with you and listening to you play your songs and jams. Bring any instrument and play whenever, as long as you can "read the room" and be conscious of people around you, and noise levels etc... You get it. You can store your instruments in the barn or house as long as you are aware of them and their safety and comfort.
