A few things worth knowing
The ceremony is thirty-five minutes and there is no processional music you need to stand for. If you are running late, come in at the back; the officiant will not mind and neither will we.
Dinner is served, not a buffet, so tell us in your reply if there is something you cannot eat. Between the ceremony and dinner there is a long gap on purpose — that is the part everyone remembers.
The bar takes cards. Rideshares out here dry up before the band does, so see travel and stay first.
