As you know, we have been together for over a decade. For most of that time, we have considered our relationship essentially equivalent to marriage, and together we have made many choices related to finances, homes, and careers. The goal of our wedding is to celebrate this relationship and commitment. For us, it's important that we do not see this wedding as somehow "changing" our relationship into something more serious or more permanent, or as moving it into a different category. Rather, we are excited to celebrate our existing relationship by explicitly acknowledging and blessing it together with the people who form our community and whom we love.
There is no dress code for Sunday's ceremony or for any of the events. You should wear things that make you feel comfortable and celebratory. We expect that people will wear things ranging from shorts and a t-shirt to suit and tie. There is no such thing as being over- or under-dressed for these events. Do what makes you happy and comfortable.
We know; rest assured there's no hidden message. Just wear something that allows you to be celebratory and comfortable.
We will both be wearing (non-white) dresses for the ceremony on Sunday afternoon.
No! Please no presents. We really do not want or need anything. If you want to mark the occasion with a gift, you could share your generosity of time, money, and spirit by supporting causes dear to us or volunteering to help during the wedding week.
Send us an email, and we will get back to you!
