I have a question...

Question

Why does the invitation say Daylight Savings Time (DST)?

Answer

November 5 is when we "Fall Back", meaning we turn our clocks back one hour. The good news is most of us (probably all of us except Anna's parents) have smartphones that automatically correct the time, so the shift shouldn't lead to any confusion (just do what your phone tells you, except for Anna's parents). If you're wondering why the invitation says DST when in actuality daylight savings time ends that day, the answer is simple; we made a mistake. Oops! Again, do what your phone tells you (except for Anna's parents).

Question

Where can I park?

Answer

On the street! Street parking on a Sunday should not pose any problems. If you prefer public transit, the NW 14th & Northrup Streetcar is located one block from the Brewery. And, of course, there's always Lyft, Uber, and Portland's own Radio Cab.

Question

May I bring my kids?

Answer

Yes! We love your kids and want to celebrate with them, too! If you have a baby you are required to bring said baby. The McKie's love babies. *Please note; there will be assigned seating for all persons. If you acquire an additional child between now and the wedding; a) congratulations, b) please let us know so we can make sure they have a seat or highchair.

Question

What's the difference between a kid and a baby?

Answer

If your offspring is too wee for a highchair, they are considered a baby. We like babies. See previous.

Question

When will the wedding end?

Answer

We officially have the room until 9:30, but that doesn't mean the party has to end! We're in the process of choosing our hotel for our wedding night, and our goal is to find a hotel with a bar where anyone who's interested can come kick off their shoes and finish the evening with drinks and relaxation. Stay tuned while we figure out where we will stay!

Question

Is anything happening the day before the wedding?

Answer

Not officially! We do not have any set plans, but we love you all and want to spend time with you! Just let us know when you're coming into town and we'll keep everyone in the loop!

Question

How are you going to keep us all in the loop?

Answer

Facebook! We will create a Facebook page as a way to communicate any changes, last minute details, and plans as they unfold. Our wedding is small and we want everyone to feel included in the excitement and frivolity.

Question

Will there be excitement and frivolity?

Answer

I have no idea! You'll have to check the Facebook page for developing frivolity.

Question

How do I find the Facebook page?

Answer

You can't because we haven't made it yet. Stay tuned!

Question

Your registry includes charities. What if I want to give you a gift?

Answer

Don't! Just kidding. Your gift to us is your presence on our wedding day. Your other gift would be to make a donation to one of our chosen charities.

Question

Why are you making us RSVP online?

Answer

Paper! Let's save some.

Question

What's happening the morning after the wedding?

Answer

Good question! This has not yet been established, though we predict it will include Anna drinking all the coffee. Many of you will be departing that day and we would love the opportunity to spend a little more time with you and say goodbye. We will keep you up to date (through Facebook!) as plans evolve.

Question

Why didn't you plan more stuff?

Answer

We like to wing it. Keeps us all on our toes. :-D <3
