Wedding Day
Thurs, June 4th
The Community center will be homebase on wedding day though the ceremony location at the lake will just depend on what the weather/conditions are that day. It’s not a big group so we’re just planning on the prettiest spot we can. We do have a couple spots in mind though if it rains it will be in the community center and we will be in touch in any case.
Anyone who wants to help with setup for the dinner/reception figure to be there around noon (Kat/Nat’s mom is taking the lead on that). Drinks will be available plus charcuterie/snacks in the afternoon. There will be pickleball, horseshoes, and other outdoor games available if anyone wants to hang out during the day. A short and sweet wedding ceremony will be at 5pm followed by pictures then dinner.
Dinner will be Thai food cooked by the venerable chef Junior Becerra though we’ll have some simple barbeque optio ns (burgers/dogs) for kids/those that can’t eat or don’t want Thai food. In lieu of cake (of which I’m sure no one is disappointed) we will be serving Crumbl cookies for dessert. After Dinner a short reception will be held, and since Nat’s family is a dancing family… there will be dancing.
The next morning we’ll gather for brunch at 11am then have whoever is willing help with clean up. We can’t wait to see you all!
Registry
In lieu of gifts (we are both adults with lots of things) we’re hoping people would contribute to a honeymoon fund. We set up a Honeyfund page with the link below but also Cash, Venmo, and Zelle are great too!
