details details

I have had a flurry of questions recently about the timing of events next weekend. Here's a summary:

  • The wedding ceremony will take place at 5:30 sharp at the Garden Vineyards in Hillsboro.

  • The bus from the Nines and the Westin will get you to the vineyard at 5:00.

  • Those of you who are driving yourselves, plan at least half an hour to drive. It's a weekend, so traffic shouldn't be a problem, but if there is slow traffic anywhere in Portland it'll be on Hwy 26. Even without traffic it will take 20 minutes from downtown. (And that's if you know where you're going.)

  • The wedding and reception will be held outdoors. Choose your shoes accordingly. Likewise, bring a warm layer for evening and keep an eye on the weather reports. (They're changing daily, sometimes several times a day.)

  • The wedding ceremony will likely take 20 minutes or so. If you're the type of person who typically runs late, and we all know who we are, you may want to adjust your timing accordingly.

  • The reception will start immediately after the wedding-though we will take a break to sign the docs making it all legal and getting some formal photos taken. The caterers will be armed with trays of appetizers and beverages as soon as we get back up the aisle.

  • Dinner will be served after our photo session.

  • The band has been scheduled until 10. They're a fun band, so plan to dance. If the party is still rolling we're told that we can (and will!) continue past 10.
