Reception, No Waiting

We expect the reception, starting with dinner, to begin right after the wedding. Grab your chair from the ceremony and take it to a table under the huge tent out in the distance.

There's no planned seating, there's irregular table set up - the goal: to get you to know different people. But if you still would rather sit with people you know, that's fine - of course!

There will be a tent for the beer and wine will be at the table. Additional items will probably also be available. There will be a dessert tent/table as well.

After the dinner begins the entertainment and fun. We will have dancers, singing, live music, and ...did I mention dancing? I did.

A warning: we expect this party to go REALLY LATE. Till people can no longer stand up. This means that those who are camping on site will most likely have to deal with the noise until it fades away. This may include hoarse singing, doumbeks, accordions, trumpets, laughter, Turkish coffee and the smell of cheeziwurst. Oh, and most likely, drunkenness.

 

 

 

What to Expect

We don't really feel that shoving cake in someone's mouth, digging a garter from a woman's leg, or obligatory bouquet throwing really gets at what we want in a wedding or represents us.

So we're ditching them.

What we may include are other little rituals from all over the world that intrigue and interest us. What those are yet, I don't know.

We welcome ideas and thoughts you have as long as you understand that we will decide in the end what works for us - which we know you already know.

We MAY have a first dance or something similar, but that is not yet decided. There will be no chicken dance as far as I am aware, but there may be some Bang Bang, showtunes, and random jamming on instruments.

What we would love from everyone is their own artistic expression: singing, dancing, instruments, puppet shows. We'd like this to be a celebration of our joining, but also of all the joyful, artistic people in our family.

That's you. Family.
