No, thank you. We love your kids but this party is Rated R. (For Adult Situations, Alcohol & Language). Please stick to the names listed on your invitation as a guide of who should be in attendance. If you can't leave the angels home with grandma, there are lots of great sitters in Seattle!
What if it rains on October 12?
First of all, don't be crazy. It will be the most beautiful day on earth, and we will get to enjoy the fabulous terrace with views of Downtown Seattle and the Space Needle. Second of all, if the city does, in fact, try to show off it's stunning grey skies, luckily, the ceremony and reception are indoors, and we will just have to settle for panoramic views of Puget Sound.
Am I invited to the rehearsal dinner?
We wish! We are having a very intimate rehearsal dinner, and those who are invited have been notified. The good news is: we’ll be having welcome drinks after the dinner on Friday, October 11 at 7:30pm, so we'd love to see you there!
How can I make the day easier for you guys?
OMG, thank you for asking! Just show up on-time looking beautiful ready to party and that's it!
Does the wedding have a theme?
The theme is “Pacific Northwest Glam,” which, yes, is in fact an oxymoron.
Why did you only give yourselves six months to plan a wedding?
Essentially, we said to ourselves: "Why wait?!" Even though our bank accounts were like: “We can answer that.” But to quote from the great Harry Burns (via Nora Ephron): "When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with a person, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible." However, Harry wasn't planning a wedding in 180 days, so he can take it down a notch.
What does Black Tie Optional mean?
In short, it means: please don’t wear shorts. Or jeans. Or anything you might wear to a backyard BBQ. In long, it means: you could wear your most formal attire (i.e. an evening gown or tuxedo) or you can choose to wear a formal suit or cocktail dress. Basically, you have some flexibility in dressing up. You can either go full-on glam in black-tie-worthy attire or opt for a slightly more relaxed but still formal ensemble. We know you'll look fab no matter what!
