Festivities
Friday
Barbeque 5:00pm - 7:00pm
Please join us for a casual cook-out and get-together at Pat and
Ellen's house. We'll throw some local beef burgers on the grill, drink some of
our favorite beers, and catch up with those who've traveled far to see us.
Afterwards we'll roll down to Greenfield for another drink (or two) and the
People's Pint, our favorite local watering hole!
Saturday
Pre-wedding
This is sort of an all-hands on deck affair.
If you feel like coming by early and helping with decorations, flowers
or just to enjoy the fields and woods, please swing by Pat and Ellen's
house at any time on Saturday!
Ceremony 3:00pm
Weather permitting, we'll be having
a Quaker(ish) Meeting outdoors in a clearing in the woods near the house.
Our ceremony is in the tradition of the Meetings for Worship that Josie
has experienced for many years at Farm and Wilderness. Our hope
is that we can sit together in a circle, sharing the silence and the opportunity
for silent thought and reverie. Eventually
there will be space for anyone to share their thoughts, good wishes or
a reading with the group. We will close by exchanging vows. More
information about our ceremony will be given on the big day!
Reception following the ceremony
Pig roast and local
veggie feast!
Music and Dancing following the reception
The amazing
Dave Wax and his band will play some Mexican folk music. Dave
will be teaching us all some dances so we can cut the rug! Although, we'll
be dancing in the unfinished living room, so it'll be more like cutting
plywood. But without the sawdust.
Bonfire and gazing at the full moon
Sunday
Brunch
Please join us for a relaxed brunch on Pat and
Ellen's porch before we part ways.
Other Information
Weather
We've got a tent, but hopefully things will
be outside. Keep an eye towards the weather and bring something warm because
nights can get chilly!
Kiddos
Please bring the whole family! We'll have some babysitters (two
very responsible students from Josie's school) and plenty of food and drink
just for them. Did someone say juice-boxes on ice?
Pets
Please leave your puppies (and kitties and ponies)
at home.
Attire
As you can probably tell, most of our events
will be outside on the grass, so ladies — leave those stilettos at home!
Other than that, wear anything that you'd like — festive, funky, classy,
comfy — whatever!
