Hello everyone! 

We are excited to be celebrating with you in just a few weeks! We wanted to follow up with everyone on some questions we have been asked. If you have any other questions, please reach out to us! 

1) What should I wear? This seems to be a common concern.  We were thinking Moulin Rouge-esque, carnival, 1920's....But you are truly welcome to wear whatever you'd like! Wear black, red, white...this isn't a typical wedding so rules don't apply. We have been told some people are really going for it with some crazy outfits from places such as https://www.shinesty.com/collections/party-suits or https://www.retro-stage.com/collections/1920s-dress/

2) Where are you registered? Nowhere! Gifts aren't accepted. If you'd like, we would be honored if you would donate to one of our favorite causes, below. 

• Nature Conservancy Elephant Fund: https://preserve.nature.org/page/81929/donate/1?ea.profile.id=32597&supporter.appealCode=AAWMAONLN02W0XXX00

3) Friday night Velveteen Speakeasy. We have this listed as 5-9, but it is an open house feel, so you may pop in for just one drink or stay the whole night. We will have food and drinks and a comedic magician (http://www.davidharrislive.com/) performing about 7. After that, some of our favorite Stillwater night spots are: 

• PD Pappy's (bar on the water-high probability you'll find Dusty here) https://www.pdpappysonline.com/ 

• No Neck Tony's (try a chocolate martini) https://nonecktonys.com/no-neck-tonys-stillwater/

• Ziggy's (live music) https://www.ziggysonmain.com/

4) Saturday during the day. Some of our favorite Stillwater day spots: 

• Nacho Mamas (chips and margs) https://www.nachomamasmn.com/

• Candyland (candy...enough said) https://candylandstore.com/

• Main Cafe (breakfast-Dusty lived in the apartments above) https://themaincafe.wixsite.com/maincafe

• Tilted Tiki (outdoor patio) https://www.thetiltedtiki.com/

6) Sunday Brunch. There will be wine tasting, mimosa bar and bloody mary bar along with brunch. We will be outside (in a covered tent), but feel free to wear shorts or casual hot-weather attire. Kids are welcome on Sunday. Hopefully our newest nephew will be making his debut! We will have a bus going from the hotel to Rustic Roots vineyard, but there is plenty of parking area if you'd rather drive. 

You are welcome at all the events-Friday, Saturday and Sunday-you don't have to pick just one! 

If you requested a hotel reservation, Stephanie has contacted you directly with your confirmation number for Hotel Crosby https://hotelcrosby.com/

Let us know any other questions! We absolutely cannot wait to celebrate with you!
