When do you need to know if we're coming?
By April 20, please. Got to make sure we have you a plate at the table!
What if I fly into Nashville?
Good for you! It's about a 3 hour drive, which is what we're doing. Atlanta is also an option, but it's about 4 hours away. Both are typically cheaper for flights from large/international destinations.
Speaking of, we're recommending rental cars. There are Ubers in Knoxville and East Tennessee, but you're looking at quite a wait from place to place.
What's the dress code to this thing?
We believe in a come as you are kind of situation. It's the end of May/early June, so it's going to probably be at least a little toasty. We'll know it most of all because we'll be in tuxedos. But we want you to feel comfortable and also like yourself. If that's a tux, great. If that's khakis and a button up, killer. If it's jorts, first of all, werk. Secondly, maybe not jeans or jorts. Wear something your mamaw thinks would look nice.
I read something about "no kids." What gives?
We love children. Want to eat 'em all up (this was Justin). That said, we also want to have a shindig where everyone can kick their feet up, have a drink, and dance hard. It's not that we hate your children. We probably LOVE your children, but for this occasion, it's important for us to celebrate with the people who've been our friends and not worry about the little nuggets running around. Feel free to text Justin or Andrew if we've talked with you and this all seems confusing. We know there are complicated situations. We'll make it work.
I know y'all have a bartender, but can I bring some moonshine? Or extra booze?
Love you. Love that spirit. But our bartender says absolutely no booze outside of what is served, and that if they catch wind, they will leave. And I swear to God, if you cause the wedding to go from open bar to NO BAR, we will spend the rest of our lives haunting every thing you try and plan, no matter how large or small.
Since you mentioned drinking, should I drink and drive after the ceremony?
Crazy question, but the answer remains an emphatic no. We'll have a shuttle service from the ceremony to the two hotel blocks we have listed on the travel tab. If you lock in one of those rooms, you'll have a ride back at the end of the night, you wild child.
Love that I don't have to drive, but I can't live on booze alone. Also I'm vegetarian/gluten-free/complicated. Help?
No worries! Half of our relationship is rooted in dietary neediness. There will be gluten-free options, as well as ways to make sure dinner is vegetarian-friendly. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate vegans because we don't believe in your lifestyle. (Just kidding--but please let us know because we'll need to let God know ahead of time. God, in this case, is the caterer)
Ok, last thing. Should we bring gifts?
Oh my goodness, we don't even know where we would start! Absolutely no gifts!
Just kidding. We want everything. We'd take the gum off your shoe, tbh.
The good news is, there's a registry that's on this website, which means you can send us presents and not worry about the day-of stuff. If you love bringing something though, we get it. We'll have an area for cards and gifts at the venue, but mostly, we just want you to bring yourself, an appetite, and a dancing spirit.
