FAQs
Question
Why did you choose to get married on a Tuesday?
Answer
Good question! It does seem odd to be married on a Tuesday, but (if you've picked up by now) we try to make our decisions based on the Lord's will. Doesn't mean we're always perfect, in fact we had tried to do things our way and get married in March, but the good Lord steered us back to June 21st. There's a multitude of reasons for that date: Yasmine's birthday is the 25th and mine's the 18th so this places us at the best annual, week-long celebratory time, our dear friends Henry and Katy Ayesiga (who introduced us to each other) also got married that day, and with their blessing, we get to pay homage to them, but most importantly back in July when the Spirit placed it on my heart to ask Yasmine to marry me, this was the date that was just "right".
Question
When should I arrive? When should I plan to leave?
Answer
If you're flying in from out of town, we recommend flying in 24-48 hours before (Sunday or Monday) and leaving Wednesday (6/22/2022). However if possible, we HIGHLY recommend coming and/or leaving a few days to explore around Wichita. For our out-of-state guests, this will be the perfect chance to explore a beautiful part of the USA!
Question
How do I politely decline?
Answer
First, we want to say that we would never be hurt/angry/or upset by a decline from our invitation. We are very cognizant of how much it costs to come to a wedding, concerns over Covid-19, and other possibilities that may hinder your presence. A simple no will be more than enough. We wish that every single one of our loved ones could attend, but we are very aware/understand this is an unrealistic possibility. All we ask is that you let your "no's" be known by us so that we may plan accordingly to the right number for food/venue. Please pray for us as well as we enter into this marriage.
Question
Where's the registry?
Answer
As a couple, the Lord has placed onto both of our hearts the desire to have a donation made to an organization in our honor (we have a great one, but if you have one you support please feel free to do so!). Besides, we truly mean it when we say that your presence at our wedding is the best gift we can receive. To make a covenant with the Lord is something we consider a great honor and we have chosen you to not only be our witnesses, but our accountability partners.
Question
Is This a Dry Wedding?
Answer
Good question, yes and no. Inebriation is something I’ve struggled with and this wedding is something I really want to reflect God. This is also a celebratory event (which can be done without inebriation), so in order to have a good middle ground we’ve decided we will be having your first drink covered (wine or beer). We’re not exactly set on hard liquor, but please pray for guidance on our part. Ultimately, we really want everyone to have fun and enjoy this day. It’s not just a celebration for us, but also for you! Because you’ve done so much to pour into our lives, individually and/or as a couple, and we want to celebrate you for that! So, please be careful, party safe, and have fun! -Yasmine
Question
Soooo, What's the Food Like?
Answer
It will edible, FDA approval is pending... Just kidding! Flutterbye Ranch has an amazing catering reputation. Because we do not have the full list of final RSVPs, we are unable to book our exact meal options. Just know we are thinking of doing chicken and/or beef. Please check the website in the beginning of May for a chance to let us know your food selection. If you have any food allergens or preferences please let us know ASAP!
Question
How do I request a Song?
Answer
We’ve done up a google form. Just copy/paste this link and let us know what songs will/won’t work for you to get into the groove! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeBnfWfNZyBkWXz87o7r_iFTPytZCBPI3O7aC-Q0O9pvgDY9w/viewform?vc=0&c=0&w=1&flr=0
