How large is the wedding?
The wedding and ceremony will be a small family event (fewer than 25 people).
What is the deal with the accommodations?
There are multiple houses on the property that we have rented for the weekend. These houses have common areas, like kitchens and living rooms, private bedrooms with queen and double beds, and shared bathrooms. Room assignments will be optimized to minimize the number of people sharing each bathroom.
Is there a bonfire planned?
Yes - after the ceremony and dinner, we plan to celebrate with drinks, snacks, and music at a bonfire. There will be time to change out of fancy clothes before the bonfire, into something more comfortable that you may not mind smelling smoky the next day.
Is it just me, or do a lot of these plans seem a bit untraditional?
Andrew and Teresa are looking forward to a fun, intimate weekend with close family - this may not include many “traditional” wedding customs or activities, but we are excited to spend time with all of you, and for you to witness us taking the next step in our relationship.
Is there someone I can contact if I have any other questions?
