frequently asked questions
What will the weather be like?
Expect the unexpected, and bring layers. Highs in the North Bay could very easily reach the 80's, but the lows could also reach the 40s. As of this update, the weather is looking to be highs around 80 all weekend, with lows around 50.
Do you have a registry?
See below.
What is the expected attire for the wedding?
Cocktail attire is appreciated.
What should I wear to the contra dance?
Here is some general info including a description of appropriate attire for contra dance. This is the website of the local Sebastapol group we are co-hosting this contra dance with.
Important notes:
- Wear comforatable shoes; soft, smooth soles are best. Avoid heels, they may damage the wooden floor.
- First time attending a contra dance? Check out this resource from NBCDS to learn dance etiquette.
#robotwedding
What is #robotwedding, you may ask?
We don't want to say too much (#spoilers), but given the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bring together their respective loved ones and communities, Christopher and Zoelle are taking the opportunity to weave some art into the celebration. The hashtag #robotwedding references that art. (It will also be our day-of hashtag for social media.)
More information will be available here as the event approaches.
