FAQs

Question

Is the wedding 2 days?

Answer

This is a different answer for everyone. Unfortunately, due to venue capacity, we had to be limited on guests for the Mehndi event on Friday Sept. 6th. If you go to the RSVP Do tab and type in your name, you will either see that you are invited to the Mehndi and the Wedding, or just the Wedding. Thank you for understanding and we will see you ALL on Saturday Sept. 7th for the actual wedding/reception!

Question

Is the wedding indoor or outdoor?

Answer

We are taking advantage of the beautiful SoCal weather and having an outdoor wedding. We know this time of year can be a little hot, but we are trying to keep the majority of everything in the evening and in the shade. Please keep in mind your table will be on grass so think twice about wearing certain heels.

Question

How's parking?

Answer

Parking is actually amazing Do! There is more than enough space to accommodate all of our guests #OClife. However if you will be drinking, please be responsible and Uber/Lyft or have a designated driver to get you home safely. You may also leave your car at the venue overnight if you are unable to drive.

Question

What do I wear?

Answer

We are encouraging guests to wear either traditional Indian/Pakistani attire or traditional Vietnamese/Chinese attire. However, if you truly cannot get these clothes we understand and please arrive in formal attire.

Question

Why is the attire cultural?

Answer

We want to be different, plain and simple! Both of our cultures are so colorful and have beautiful traditions. We would like to honor our families and keep some traditions alive from the countries our parents came from. Since we aren't having a fully Indian or Vietnamese wedding, having us and our guests in the attire will really complete the story of how our two cultures are coming together in a modern way.

Question

Where do I get those traditional outfits?

Answer

Please see the "Attire Do" tab for a full breakdown of where you can find the best cultural clothes to either buy or rent.

Question

What color can my outfit be?

Answer

ANY COLOR! Since the bride and groom won't be wearing traditional American attire/colors you can truly wear whatever you want! We do want our wedding to be colorful so let's not all be in black just because its safe. You're going to be hot LOL

Question

What if I RSVP'd Yes but unfortunately can no longer attend the wedding?

Answer

We encourage our guests to only RSVP yes if they can 100% attend our wedding. We are at capacity with our guest list and unfortunately were not able to invite everyone. We do however understand that life and emergencies happen. If you cannot attend but already RSVP'd yes, please contact the bride and groom ASAP so we can make adjustments. We are trying to avoid any empty seats and tables. Thank you for understanding and we greatly appreciate your communication with us!

Question

Will there be Gluten Free options for my meal?

Answer

If you have a gluten allergy, this wedding will not be the most accommodating for you. BUT if you inform us beforehand we can have our vendor provide some gluten free buns. Please only reach out to us if you have an actual medically diagnosed allergy since we will only be ordering enough for those who need it!

Question

Who made those invitations?!

Answer

ssshhh no one really asks this but Mike is really proud of his letter pressed invitations he did individually with love and care. So if you see him, say they suck. Just kidding, he did great!
