FAQOriginal Questions Asked and Answered About This Event

We suggest you dress how you would for any other formal wedding, even though this is being held in our backyard. We do, however, recommend that women wear flats as high heels would be difficult when walking in the grass. Also, we want you to comfortable when this turns into DANCE PARTY USA!!!
Come on now! Of course there will be alcohol. And large quantities of it. So, we recommend you plan your transportation ahead accordingly if you plan on drinking heavily and enjoying yourself. We would like everyone to party safe and responsibly on this special occasion.
We have informed the mayor and police dept of this event. We have been given permission to park just about everywhere, EXCEPT 1st Avenue (Cumberland). This includes BOTH sides of Fullerton in front of our home. Please disregard the no parking signs on the south side of the street. We have been granted special permissions for the day.
We did not register anywhere, as we are blessed to have a beautiful home that is quite full of things. We ask that all gifts be in monetary form as we will simply be using them to help cover the costs of the wedding itself.
Stinks that you cannot make it!!! We will miss your presense. You can send your gift to our house.

Yes! If you read the options you'd see that only the pasta and bread are going to be items containing glutens. The option for gluten-free just helps us to try and arrange seating and get an idea of how much product to buy. We will simply place a gluten-free pasta option on every table and offer a gluten-free alternative side on requested tables. Our chef is educated on the importance of this matter and will prepare all requested options with this in mind under safe conditions.
This is a 2 part question, so allow me to answer both questions.

1.) No

2.) Uh, because he is our son! And this is our wedding. And because he is a party animal, and not to mention an AVENGER with crazy fighting skills to keep all of you in check in case you get to drunk and rowdy. You've been warned.
Nope! We are music Nazi's and have the music choices on lock down with all the stuff we like. We spent a considerable amount of time picking songs that not only do we want to hear, but also stuff that we think you will enjoy and stuff that we think will enhance the mood and get people dancing/partying/having fun! The DJ has a list of songs that will more than fill each section of the night, even some of our picks won't make the cut do to time limitations. So don't be mad at the DJ if he says no requests. This is due to our request.
Yes, don't! We are all for having a good time. But we want that not be at the expense of anyone elses good time, our home, or our pocketbooks. We want this to be an epic party that everyone will always remember for good reasons and not bad. PLEASE NO DRAMA or sillyness. That being said, if you still think you will wind up doing something dumb, keep that in mind when preparing your wedding gift! Hahaha.
We would prefer to keep the traffic out of the house as much as possible. Wedding party, family, staff only have free access. As for bathrooms, we have rented to VERY clean and higher end Porta-Potty's. We highly encourage the use of those (especially for men), but if you absolutely must use a regular bathroom, please use the downstairs facitly located between the dining room and front door.
We have a online Wedding Album set up for just this type of thing. You can all share your pictures and videos with us, quickly and easily, by clicking here.

**Note: You must have a Google Account. If you don't have one, you should get one! It is 2014, and Google run's the internet (and eventually the world). If you have Gmail, you are good, if not click the link above. It literally takes 1 minute. Once, you've done that. Shoot us a quick email from your GMAIL email, saying that you would like to upload some pictures. We will add you as a collaborator on the album. You can then upload to heart's desire!

We can't wait to see all the great stuff you capture! Please don't forget to share with us! Contact Tim if you are having any problems relating to this. Or you can view this help file from Google.
Sorry, but we had to sit Eugene somewhere.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

We all know the answer to that one! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Just kidding. Cuz she likes green! That's why! Have a problem with that? Tell her. I dare you! :)
