Our Wedding Page| Frequently Asked Questions - Our Wedding Reception | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| Q Why am I invited to this party and not the west coast one? |
| A Keith thought it would be fun to get his entire family together in one place so they could gang up and give Erin the third degree. Since all but a couple of relatives live in New York and New Jersey, we knew it would be easiest for us to come to them, rather than the other way around. |
| Q Where is the east-coast party being held? |
| A The party will be brunch at the Basking Ridge Country Club. We chose this location partly for its beautiful scenery, and partly because of its proximity to the Lewis/Swartz residence. |
| Q Will there be alcohol? |
| A We're not talking frat party levels of alcohol, but as this will be a brunch reception, we'll at least have champagne mimosas, and possibly some beer or wine for the non-bubbly drinkers. |
| Q I live on the east coast. Can I come to that party? |
| A We took a quick poll early on, and decided that it would be best to keep the east coast party a family-only affair, so that we could devote the proper amount of time and attention to our family members, many of whom we rarely get to see. Our friends will have a much better time on the west coast, where we'll have more time to relax and hang out with them in a more laid back (and probably drunken) manner. |
| Q Is it black tie? |
| A Definitely not. Black ties will be confiscated at the door. |
| Q Can I bring my children? |
| A Yes! No rowdiness at this bash: we want to see all our cousins, second cousins, cousins once removed, and third step-cousin-in-laws twice removed. We don't have much interest in seeing the third cousins once removed, however. You know who you are! (Hopefully, at least...cause I don't.) |
| Q Will people be getting together at your parents' house after the party? |
| A We'll be playing this by ear, but basically: sure. Come on over, wait for the champagne to wear off, and consume all the cocktail weiners you can. Just no feeding the deer. |
| Q Where should I stay? |
|
A
At home, silly. That was the whole point of coming back east, so you
wouldn't have to travel far!
If you are one of the two or three anticipated out-of-town guests, please contact us and we'll be happy to assist you with accommodation. |
