Q + A

What's the dress code?

Black tie/formal garden party. Overdressing is impossible. We're combining two of our favourite dress codes because while it's no secret that we love formal events, we know that not everybody owns black tie attire. We would love it if you'd help us create a historical, ballroom atmosphere by wearing the most formal clothing you're comfortable in. Ladies : floor length gowns, floral patterns and pastel colours highly encouraged! Gentlemen: black suits and bow ties strongly encouraged

What language will the wedding be in?

Being in Austria, we have decided to conduct most of the ceremony in German. Not to worry, English speakers will receive a facing-page translation of our ceremony and vows in the programme booklet so you can follow along.

Will there be an open bar?

Your first two drinks will be on us. You can claim them with vouchers to be received at the champagne reception. After that, there will be a piggy-bank system to pay for drinks. Prices will be very low (about €2 for a cocktail!!) so go wild. Please bring cash. For for Dutch guests, a Tikkie QR code will be placed on the bar.)

Can I request music?

Absolutely! If you have a song you love to dance to, please add it to our Spotify playlist or mention your preferred song(s) on the RSVP. We'll try our best to include as many songs in our reception as we can. Reception playlist (work in progress): https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2RsEyslXFqFQerHtPXfe1Y?si=39011022c1124d9e

Can I bring a plus-one?

We're very limited in space, but if you really would like to bring someone, please contact us personally.

Are there any (Austrian) traditions I need to be mindful of?

The only thing is we ask you to remember that, while our ceremony is not religious and partying is highly encouraged, our wedding is still taking place in an active monastery inhabited by priests and canons. Please keep noise down down to a minimum outside the reception hall.

You're both young and educated. Why are you getting married if it's an antiquated, patriarchal institution based on capital exchange, female oppression and traditional, binary gender norms? You're setting the cause of progress back more than a century. Have you no shame? What kind of 'progressives' are you?

Yes.
