Believe it or not, despite a 2+ year engagement, we're not actually married yet. (Although Brielle argues that common law must come into place after several 10+ hour drive days.)
Yes, of course you can come. By no means are we asking or expecting anyone who does not live in the NY / NJ or LA areas to travel to attend a backyard celebration. There will be zero hard feelings if you cannot attend (and in fact, if you don't live near either of our parents, we're expecting you won't be able to make it). That said, we would love to have you join us if you are interested and able.
We are getting married in a private ceremony with our parents and siblings in Oregon's Willamette Valley on May 14, 2022.
No. Tara Burke and Matthew Enthoven, this answer is directed at you, as much as we love you both. You cannot come to our actual wedding but we'd love to have you join us at our backyard celebrations.
We've thought about this, and although we've loved the many weddings we've attended that include all family members and friends in one place, we feel a single small ceremony and two casual celebrations is much more our speed. We will certainly share photos of our intimate wedding, and we know we'll feel the love from all of you, wherever you are on our big day.
No, we will each be keeping our last names. However, we will forever use "The Bummers" as our colloquial family name. For those still wondering: BUckler + KreMER = BUMMER. It's hilarious and we love it.
Not sure, TBD, will let you know. Still traveling and will have more information when we see you in the backyard(s).
