Q + A
Aren't you two a little young for marriage?
Yes. Yes we are.
Seriously though, we promise we know what we're doing. We appreciate your concern, but we're going to be okay.
Why wasn't I invited?
Unfortunately, between our financial situation and the size of our venue, we can only afford a very small ceremony and reception. We decided to only invite one household for each side of our family, plus one set of grandparents each. It was easily the hardest decision we've had to make so far. If you did not receive an invitation, please know that we don't love you any less. Thank you for understanding.
Will there be dancing?
Unfortunately, no. There's not enough room at the venue, and we had to decide against it. There will be games, though!
Dress code?
Semi formal, and fall colors. It's not that big of a deal, really, it's mostly so the pictures turn out nice :)
How long will this take?
We're shooting for the ceremony to last 20-30 minutes, with yard games after for while we're doing pictures. We have the reception venue booked for five hours, but I doubt we'll be there that long. Please feel free to leave whenever you'd like, whether it's the absolute last minute, or right after the ceremony. We'll just be happy to see you at all!
What games will there be?
There will be corn hole, chalk, and giant bubble wands for yard games :)
What's with the registry?
We just needed to fill one out to make the website. Please don't feel obligated to select any of those items if they're out of your price range!
