Freakuently Asked Questions

1. Whatever shall I wear to such an occasion?

Wear whatever expresses the “you” you want to be with us! Costumes of all kinds are encouraged, from a comfy onesie to the most elaborate ensemble. The sky’s the limit! We will have a small handful of masks and headbands to add to your look. Our roommate Maribel will be around for face/body painting, too!

Here’s a pic from the first time we “costumed” (and volunteered) together. We were helping out at a checkpoint for Chiditarod (probably the world’s largest mobile food drive, www.chiditarod.com)

2. Whatever shall I bring!?!

A gift can be anything. Josh and Reba know a lot of things, but we don’t know beer. If you have opinions on beer, or just would like something specific, or generally would like a “bro soda”, please feel free to bring whatever you like! We’ll have a bit of liquor on hand and LOTS of soft drinks, but we’ll be happy to add anything to our bar and we’ll have ice, cups, some mixers, that sorta thing.  3. Wait, your wedding is tomorrow? Yes, it is! Wild, huh? 4. Can I park? Yes! The parking lot across the street from our house will be open and available from doors until 5am. If you’re still partying with us at 5, we’ll just need to ghostride the whip into a spot on the street. 

5. Can I eat this? So, we decided that having someone else cater the food was going to be a little bit too much work, and have concluded that we should cook all the food ourselves. Makes sense, right? Anyways, prepare yourself for a feast of Italian favorites (when you’re here, you’re family!) If you’ve RSVPed (see next question), we have your dietary restrictions and will be making sure there’s safe and tasty options for everyone, with labels. Josh has a food allergy himself, so he knows about fun things like cross contamination and anaphylactic shock.

6. Did I RSVP? Many of you have RSVP’ed, and several of you have done so more than once. We won’t be awarding extra credit for that, but it’s impressive, nevertheless. If you haven’t, we still love you and want you to have a hassle-free experience with our door staff. If you’re not sure you’re on our list of confirmed attendees, please get ahold of Josh and he’ll make sure that we have you. Do it today, and I’ll get you on the list. If you can’t get your act together today, message JOSH and he’ll let you know what to do (likely a password). 7. Can I sleep here?  Yes! Please please please don’t feel you have to leave if it would be unsafe for you to do so! We have plenty of crash space and bedding and we’d MUCH rather subject you to our snoring than having any of our guests make risky sojourns home. 8. Where can I get breakfast around here? Just sit your butt down, we’re making breakfast. We have some real tasty things in mind for anyone still with us when the neighborhood rooster starts making noise.  9. How can I help?  Our friends are the best, and we were not at all surprised by how many of you volunteered to help. We’re finishing decorating today, so let us know if you’d like to come by. Tomorrow, we’ll have some cooking to do, so if you would like to help in the kitchen, let Josh know! Otherwise, we will likely enlist some help making sure that food and drink are being replenished during the party!

10. But...but...what... Don’t worry. Just come and have fun. Leave the anxiety and freak outs to us. 

11. That was fun. Anyone up for games? If you’re still up and around on Sunday, please consider joining us at our favorite bar to play our favorite obscure video game. We’ll be heading to Logan Arcade in the afternoon for a casual Killer Queen event, drinks, pinball, and spending more time with you! 

Say! Do any of you guys know how to Madison?

When Two becomes One, we will do the Time Warp again!

See ya at sun down?

If you’re seeing this, you’ve likely already done so, but please don’t forget to RSVP! We have lot of surprises planned, but we’d love to know if you’re coming before the party! Click RSVP up on the menu bar, let us know who you are and who you’re bringing with you!

The wedding is 44 days away!!!! Do you know what you’re going to wear?!?!

We saw a lot of great options over the weekend during our suburban thrift/dollar store excellent adventure. Goodwill is especially Halloween-centric right now.

Reba picked up this sweet Kiss costume for $7! What will YOU wear as you rock and roll all night (and party every day) with us?

Our wedding will be glowing! We picked up some of the things we’ll need to transform the house for our spooky soirée. It’s gonna be boo-tiful.

We’ve been getting the question.....

Did you pick out a china pattern yet?

Well, being the vintage/thrift store hunting nerds that we are, we have several. Maybe you can help us hunt?

The two above are (left to right) Taylorstone "Cathay" & Stetson Marcrest Swiss Chalet.

Reba has been collecting the Cathay pattern since their mom, Ann, picked up a box of dishes at a garage sale in the late ‘90’s.

We don’t need cups or mugs, unless you find Swiss Chalet glassware, any size. 😍

Reba started collecting the SCIO Provincial Green Rooster Weather Vane pattern after their mother passed away in 2011. Ann had a little collection of this pattern going. She loved roosters, they were all over the kitchen, just like her mother Eleanore once had. This pattern reminds Reba of everything they learned in the kitchen from those two amazing cooks.

For our everyday dishware we’ve been collecting PYREX & CORELLE patterns Snowflake blue and daisy spring blossom. We need plates, bowls and serving pieces.

Happy Hunting! Also the stores are full of great costumes, check them out too and find something fabulous to wear to the wedding!
