Headlines and Highlights

OK folks, we are less than 3 weeks away! Anticipating your every need, here are a few "getting down to the wire" top line items:

ATTIRE/WEATHER

It is shaping up to be the expected Indian Summer Weather in Sea Ranch - about 70 during the day, down to high 50's/low 60's after sundown. Reception is outdoors and inland a bit, and there will be a tent, but pack a wrap or sweater ladies. Not too formal, not too casual. Jackets for men, ties welcome but not necessary (but you've been warned, my friend Kel is now working for Men's Vogue and will be in attendance!). As a cue, there won't be a tux in the wedding party. For ladies, sky is the limit! Though we will be on dirt/lawn so, watch those stillettos!

REHEARSAL(S)

All rehearsal celebrations are open to whomever has arrived in time.

The Rehearsal BBQ at 3:00 is as casual as you feel comfy - there is a playground for kids so why not play clothes for everyone!!!??? Email invite to follow with details.

Rehearsal Cocktails will be after the rehearsal at the Sea Ranch lodge, ditto - invite to follow.

BABYSITTING vs. KIDS at the reception

If you want to bring a child or, better yet, a child AND a babysitter, to the reception - we can accommodate. Let us know. See below for babysitting resources.

FOOD/BEVERAGE

Our caterer rocks, but we opted for a simple chicken main course. Any vegetarians can be accommodated, we think we know who you are. If you want a veggie meal, let us know by Oct 5!

On the beverage front, the reception is at a winery so beer, wine, and bubbly are all that will be served (as well as non-alcoholic drinks). There will be mixers, so if you need your G&T, bring a flask and keep it on the QT.

BRUNCH on SUNDAY

Whomever hasn't hit the road, feel free to join us around 9:30am for Brunch -- Sea Ranch Lodge on Sunday, details to follow in email.

CELL PHONES?

See below, you've been warned

MUSICAL TALENTS?

Yes, we did save enough money for a band, but they do take breaks so -- all of you musically inclined folks that we are fortunate enough to know, prepare to wow us with your jam skills (that means you Micah, Mark, Mike, John W., Kevin, Beth, Adam...) Be prepared for requests (namely from the bride and groom) and please, no blues ;-0
