First Post - FAQ

It's a surprise to everyone and we're not done yet.

FAQ without and with the questions:

Yes, we are getting married.
No, it hasn't fully sunk in yet.
Yes, we want 2 kids actually.
No, I'm not already pregnant.
Yes, we want kids to happen sooner than later.

The colors of the wedding are: navy blue, dark emerald green and deep purple.

My dress will hopefully be: light rose pink with ivory embroidery. (The first dress was mistakenly made in a lovely red mahogany brown color, we're waiting for the replacement to arrive.)



We've been asked about our theme and people are confused.
Is it an ocean/beach/lighthouse theme? Yes.
Is it a traditional midwestern country church theme? Yes.
Is it Christmas/Yule themed? Yes.
Is it Victorian Garden Faerie themed? Yes.
Are we mix-matching however we like because that's just the way we are? Definitely.

Are we worried about cohesive anything? Only that wedding party people show up in the outfits chosen at the prescribed time and are willing to walk down the aisle together.

Are we really trying to keep as much as possible to reuse/recycle craft projects for decorations? You bet!

Is the cake really going to be a lighthouse? Yes.
With a working light and an ocean/beach cake attached to it to feed the masses. Mar's amazing and loves to sculpt food, use fondant and edible paints; we believe in giving her challenges and letting her go with it.

Are we feeding you? Define feeding. We'll be providing enough food to make sure you don't starve, but can't afford enough to make you stuffed.

Are we getting you drunk? Probably not unless you're a lightweight. We'll be providing enough to get everyone going and hope that you all will bring bottles to share and keep the bar going until it's time to close down and clean up.

What's the music going to be like? We're romantic saps with a penchance for cheese.

The wedding ceremony: will have John Milton as our main performer on acoustic guitar and vocals. He'll be doing covers of songs we picked out specifically for the ceremony. A super surprise, tucked in the midst of too many words - I'm walking the aisle to one of Willie Nelson's newest songs "It's Always Now."

The receptions: will be grooving with DJ Dodo Glantern giving us the super fine cheeze of the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and beyond.

We had some trouble with our partyin reception site so we're looking into alternative sites for the drinking and dancing part of the evening. The cake, toasts and tosses reception will be at the ceremony site: the Unitarian Universalist Church of Boulder.

We're having 3 crafts days for those who like to make things and want to contribute to our decorations.
#1 = Friday, September 18th on Capital Hill - address to be announced on the wedsite.
#2 = Monday, September 28th on Capital Hill - address to be announced on the wedsite.
#3 = Sunday, October 4th @ the Syzergy Community Center, Rollinsville, CO.

The Bridal Shower will be Sunday, October 18th at Erin and Luke McOmie's house Aurora, CO.

All the times and addresses will be provided on the wedsite when it is finalized.

any more questions?
