Are you going to have a Q&A section of your website?
Yes, here it is.
Are you masking at your wedding (to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and other bugs!)?
Yes. We plan to mask as much as possible. With a bunch of immunocompromised friends and family, along with our own health stuff, we don't want to get sick. We want this to be fun.
So yeah, we'll be masking, and we'd love it if you did too. Need a mask? Just ask. We've got so many.
Where should we eat in town?

Do we really have to go to all these darn events?
Nope! Everyone is invited to everything, but you don't HAVE to attend anything. Want to attend the welcome drinks but skip the ceremony and reception? Go for it. Can't make the Hangover Brunch? Totally cool. We just want to see ya.
Are you live-streaming your wedding?
No. But we are paying the amazing Ray Replogle to capture moments on video and the incredible Amanda DeBusk to take photos. Be present with us and we promise you'll have plenty of visual proof of your attendance.
Will you highlight your vendors before, during and after the festivities?
Absolutely. Come back here after the weekend to see a full list (along with links) to our incredible vendors. We were so selective in this process, and are so excited to work with all of these folks.
OK, really, "come as you are," is that really your dress code?
YES. We truly do not care what you wear. We want you to be happy and comfortable. There's no secret, unannounced dress code. Nothing that you are supposed to have figured out, or deduced. There. Is. No. Dress. Code. We promise.
If you must know, we will each wear suits for the events on Saturday, and Jake refuses to wear any pants that are not jeans on any of the other days, but you really don't need to match that. We're doing the thing because we're doing the thing. You REALLY REALLY SHOULD WEAR THE CLOTHES YOU WANT. WE LOVE YOU IN THOSE CLOTHES. (Just please wear clothes).
Are you really only accepting funds for mutual aid and honeymoon for your registry?
Yep. Mutual aid is so important to us, and we want to do what we can to make sure our celebration and joy comes along with helping other folks out. We included the honeymoon option because we know that some of you probably want to support "us," but we really encourage everyone to donate to our mutual aid fund (or a separate one) if anything at all. Your presence is the present, obviously.
Does that mean you won't accept physical items if we buy them for you?
I mean, I don't think we'd turn them away, but we really, really, really, really don't need more things. We live very fortunate lives and are able to access the things we need and want, and so while we are happy to be celebrated in a way you prefer, there is absolutely no obligation or need to do this. If you insist on it and want to be extra sure if we like what you're scheming, please reach out and check with us or someone super close to us just in case.
Are you going to add more Q&As to your site?
If this is the last one on the page, you can probably bet there's more to come.
