What came in the mail

In case yours went missing.

One thing we are asking

Please leave your phone in your pocket for the ceremony. We hired a photographer so that nobody has to work that part. Every picture they take will be here afterward, free, for anybody who wants them.

What we want from you during those twenty minutes is your face and not the back of your phone.

Getting home

The music stops at 9:30. The road off the mountain is dark and curvy, and there's no calling an Uber from out here. If you plan on having a few, plan your ride before you come.
