I feel compelled to share the love! How can I make a difference?
Thank you for your amazing question! Our flower girl and family friend, Isla, has a rare form of brain cancer. If you or anyone is interested in supporting a cause, making a difference, or (as you say) Share The Love, we are asking for your prayers and are including a Venmo link for your consideration to support Isla and all who battle brain cancer. All proceeds will go to Brain Cancer research and awareness. Here is the link, and thank you for your kindness! Brye Utrup@Brye-Utrup Please reach out to myself or Jodie if you need further information!
Will there be food at the wedding?
Great question! The wedding will be catered by BBQ2U! Love Local! The menu will include Beef Brisket, Pulled Pork, BBQ Chicken, Potato Salad, BBQ Baked Beans, Cesar Salad and, of course, their world famous Mac-n-Cheese. Desert will include a gluten free and vegan option. Drinks will be provided to include sodas, beer, wine, champagne, a signature Mr. and Mrs. cocktail, and water. There is no charge for the meal and drinks, but, those who feel inclined can tip the bartenders!
What should I wear? Formal or Casual?
First of all!
Jodie says, "To all the people wearing heals, 'Wedges, cowboy boots, dancing shoes, block heals will be the best as there are uneven areas in the concrete.'"
Secondly.... I like to dress up, I like to feel special on special occasions, I asked to wear a pirate outfit but Jodie said "No!"
But seriously, Wear the outfit you feel best in to celebrate, to dance, to hug, to cry, to eat BBQ, and to feel snazzy in.
Was there a time change?
Yes! The original time was scheduled to be 1:23PM on 11/23/24. We chose to change the time to 3:21PM on 11/23/24.
We look forward to seeing you all no matter what time....Just make sure you are there for the food and dancing!
Why are the times so odd?
Great question. Each time has a very unique and special meaning to us. We have included these special times in the ceremony to remember these special markers with each one of our special guests.
