You are more than welcome to park on the street, however, please leave the closer spots for those who may not be able to walk further distances. You may also park at Chemeketa Community College down the street. The "purple" parking lot is the closest to the house (about a 5-minute walk) and has open/free parking over the weekends.
If you want to let us know you're coming, it helps but no need to stress about it!
The ceremony starts at 5:00 pm. We will have a mariachi playing beforehand, so feel free to come as early as 4:00 pm to enjoy the music!
With Aldo and I living in a one-bedroom apartment and me being in the middle of optometry school, we don't need or expect any gifts, so please don't feel pressured. Your presence at the wedding is truly the greatest gift! If you have a strong desire to get us something but don't know what, we do have a small registry through Amazon (see instructions below) or you can check out the "registry" tab and put money towards something else! To find Amazon wedding registry: Copy and paste the following link into your browser: https://www.amazon.com/wedding/share/yestocervantes2020 OR check out the "registry" tab which is synced to our amazon registry.
No, we are not requiring masks, that decision is up to you! If you would feel more comfortable wearing a mask, you are more than welcome to do so.
