| Organization Update: Yes, we have made plans. There will be a bus, there will be adults hanging out with the little ones and Terry Dash has a bow-tie. The following people will be hopping onto a raft with the wedding party for the first leg. These are: Alicia Bowen The following people will be hopping in their vehicles and driving back to the hotel to meet a bus to Cunard and the second leg of the rafting trip: Aram Attarian Also Rafting with this group will be the guides, the bride and the photographer: Terry Dash You may have questions, so let me see can I answer some of them here. Please read this entire page. 1. Dress Code. This is not your usual fancy wedding. But we know you want an excuse to go shopping, so here it is. Wedding Ceremony Very casual. Terry will be wearing shorts and a tuxedo top. Same with our ring bearers. I will be wearing some sort of white outfit. It may even be a dress. But immediately after the ceremony we will both be changing into rafting clothes. For me that's shorts and a tee-shirt. You can wear your rafting clothes to the ceremony or change when we do. No matter what you choose to wear, please leave the heels at home. Hmm. Sunburn. We'll be outside with little shade. Nothing says summer wedding like a big floppy hat. Go for it. Reception You wanted to go shopping, didn't you? Here's your chance to show off those treasures. I plan to wear a white dress to the reception, something along the lines of a sun dress. And I'm going to take a shower before I put it on. You can wear anything you want, as long as it is NOT a white dress. And again, no heels. 2. About the rafting. The first section we will be running is relatively calm water. It's quite beautiful, and very relaxing. The one significant rapid on this section is even avoidable, so your raft may go around it if necessary. The second section is much bigger water, so if you aren't very comfortable on water, you are welcome to opt out of that section. I promise not to give you too much grief. 3. Acts of God, however you interpret Him or Her. The normal level for the river in late June is not particularly high, but runnable. If the river is at what we consider a dangerous level, the under 12 group will not be going rafting. No exceptions. If this is the case, we may simply change the sections we run. We'll have to see when we get there. Hopefully things will be about normal this year. 4. Rain. We like rain. Hopefully you do as well. If there is a light rain, we'll do things the way they are planned. There's a shelter at Dunglen. If there is just way too much rain for an outside wedding, the whole thing will be moved to the Ponderosa Lodge. But, do not assume that just because it's raining that the ceremony has been moved. We will let you know. Rafting in the rain is a lot of fun if you come prepared. Hint hint. Bring a breathable rain jacket. Hopefully you won't need it. 5. Bringing the uninvited date. Sorry. We do not have room for your uninvited date. This is a rafting trip after all. Listing your uninvited date on your response card as a rafter WILL NOT WORK. No exceptions. Please do not put your friends in this position. 6. Tricking your friends into substituting your uninvited date for an invitee who can not attend will not fly. Wedding invitations are non-transferable. 7. Registry. If you still like us after 5 and 6 above, we have registered at Crate & Barrel. |
