What's in the area around the wedding site?
I'm in the wedding party, where and when is the rehearsal?

What time does the ceremony start?
The ceremony will start at 6:00pm but show up at 5:00pm for the cocktail hour.

Who is the officiant for your ceremony?
We're proud to have Amanda's brother as the officiant for our wedding. (Massachusetts has this nifty law allowing anyone to be a justice of the peace for a day.)

Why does Chris have three best men?
Because they're all just that awesome!

Will there be an open bar?
Of course!

Can I ship a gift to you? If so, where?
Absolutely! In fact, we encourage that any gifts be shipped rather than brought to the ceremony. If you'd like to ship a gift, we recommend that you send it to Amanda's office. This should guarantee that it is signed for if it arrives while we're away on our honeymoon.
