How to contribute

Our registry is filled with items that will help us make the wedding happen- think decorations, table centerpieces, serving trays, cake stand, etc. We've also created a cash fund for anyone wanting to contribute funds to pay for the venue, food, drinks, furniture rentals, etc.


If you would like to explore other ways help, check out our "Help Us Make It Happen" page.

Dress Code

Wear what feels good. If you enjoy dressing up, then show up dressed to the nine's! If you don't enjoy dressing up, then show up in your most comfortable day-to-day fit.


Having a good time is so much more important to us than getting fancy.

who can i bring?

Plus one's?

Yes! Or a plus 2 or plus 3 even. Just be sure to account for them on your RSVP so we can plan accordingly.

Kids?

Aside from the occasional curse word in language or a song, this is a family occasion! Bring your little's with you.


There is a pool, so the little's (or you!) can bring swim suits if they want! (Towels are provided, but no floaties.)

Dogs?

No pets please.

Expectations

What should I expect?

A warm environment to share space with us in whatever way resonates best with you. We will have lots of options and want you to show up in a way that feels good (not forced) to you!


Mingle, dance, toast.


Play board games, lawn games, go swimming or take a dip in the hot tub.


Cozy up by the bonfire (with or without s'mores.)


Or just hang out and see where the night takes you.


There will be a few interactive elements during both the ceremony and reception, but please do not feel obligated or pressured to participate in those unless you want to.


You will find stations set up where we will provide coffee, tea, hydration, libations, snacks, apps, and sweets. If you are looking for something more substantial, we will also have our favorite food truck on site where you can purchase a full meal to enjoy while there, or for on your way home.

What should I not expect?

Most of the traditional "wedding ceremony" stuff.


You won't see bridesmaids, groomsmen, flower girls, ring bearers, etc. There will be no "aisle" to walk down, or traditional music serenade before the "I do's."


You'll find no one in a fancy white dress (and YOU should only dress up if you LIKE dressing up!)

What kind of ceremony?

A non-traditional handfasting.


The handfasting ceremony involves the wedding party (and any guests that wish to participate) choosing various colorful ribbons representing wishes for Bri and Paul's relationship (a red ribbon would represent passion, blue for loyalty, yellow for friendship, etc.)


The party and guests will tie their chosen ribbon around Bri and Paul's clasped hands, symbolically bestowing their wish upon the couple. Then vows will be exchanged, plus the kissy-kissy, a champagne toast, and throwing of colorful confetti at the newlyweds.


To wrap it all up, afterward there will be a maypole dance to weave all the ribbons together as Bri and Paul's wedding keepsake.

What if I drink too much or I'm too tired to drive home?

While space is limited, we are set up to accommodate some extra guests after the wedding.


We don't expect this to be necessary, but in just case we happen to run out of extra bed space, we'll have extra air mattresses, blankets, and sleeping bags on-site as well (and will gladly feed you breakfast the next morning!)


If at the end of the night, you feel it would be safer to stay instead of drive home, find a wedding party member and we'll make accomodations.


But if you are planning ahead of time to stay with us for the night, please give us a heads up now so we can plan accordingly. You can also check out the "Lodging" page above where you'll find a handy dandy list of nearby hotel and AirBnB options if you'd like to plan ahead to stay off-site nearby.
