FAQ
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
Our ceremony originally called for Garden Attire, and we would love it if you are still able to dress up for the occasion! (At least from the waist up! Also, pants are strongly recommended for the dance party.) Feel free to even dress pets up for the occasion. And don't forget to take pictures to send to us!
Question
What should I have for dinner? (Part 1)
Answer
We're sad that we won't be able to wine and dine you as planned! We plan on ordering Thai food, which is what we planned to serve at the reception. If you have a Thai place that you'd like to order from, we encourage you to try one of our favorites: Panang Curry or Pad Thai. (Try it vegetarian with tofu and/or veggies! And if you want to go all out to make it 100% plant-based, check that there is no fish sauce, oyster sauce, or egg.)

Should I mute my microphone during the ceremony?

We ask that all guests remain on mute during our ceremony. On several occasions, we will place guests in breakout rooms where you can come off of mute to talk with people! Please remember to mute yourself when we are back in the full group. (If you come off of mute in the full group, we will need to mute you.)

We will be recording the video of the ceremony (and will be sharing it with someone making a documentary about weddings during Coronavirus). If you are not comfortable having your video on, we understand. But we would love to see all of your faces!

What's your wedding hashtag?

Let's be real -- we don't really use social media. But if you post anything, use #Goodmyer (hint: it's not just a hashtag!)
