Frequently Asked Questions

Bob Holt — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 00:22:40 +0000

We’ve gotten a few questions about the wedding and thought it would be a good idea to post some answers. We’ll be updating this post as we get more questions, so if something’s on your mind, contact us.

Do you guys have a wedding registry?

We are very happy just to have all of our friends and loved ones celebrate our wedding, but since you asked, we have provided a registry page. Please know that wedding gifts are appreciated, but not expected.

Can we suggest music for the reception?

Absolutely! Give us your greatest wedding hits, and we’ll add as many as we can to the playlist. The Chicken Dance and the Electric Slide are unwelcome suggestions.

What do you suggest we wear?

Wear something that you’re comfortable in and makes you look good! Flat shoes are recommended, and it’ll likely be pretty warm.

Where are you going on your honeymoon?

Rockport, MA. It’s beautiful there.

Can we bring our children?

We have chosen to have an adult only ceremony and reception. We sympathize that this may cause logistical problems for many of you, but hope you will understand and that this will not affect your decision to attend…the GREATEST WEDDING OF THE DECADE!

Wedding Invitations and Info

Despite a certain young(ish) lady’s ham-handed wielding of the ink pads and stamps, our wedding invitations hit the post office this afternoon… so it looks like there’s no backing out of this now (nyuck nyuck)! All terrible joking aside, we are getting very excited about the wedding. As you may have noticed, we did not enclose an RSVP card because Bob made a convenient RSVP page right here on our website that only takes a moment to fill out. We’d also be happy to hear from you via phone, email or carrier pigeon.

For those dear friends who will be able to join us for our special day, we’ve come up with a few things to keep in mind when preparing for the big event:

This will be an outdoor wedding in August and it may be quite warm so dress accordingly.
Because the lawn is somewhat uneven (”The moles!” bemoans my mother), we highly recommend ladies wear flat shoes.
Book your lodging now before inns and hotels fill up for the summer. You will find ideas for lodging on our wedding lodging page.
And please let us know if you have any life-threatening allergies or conditions that we should plan around.

Please feel free to contact us with questions. We’ll see you in August!

Save the Date!

We spent our day-after-Thanksgiving on the couch in sweats planning out the guest list, munching on leftovers, and designing our save the date cards. It was really important to us that parts of the wedding reflect our personalities. I think this design is an excellent example of who we are, where we met, and Bob’s mastery of Photoshop. He really is the boss of Photoshop.

A Quick Recap

Mia Stendahl — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 18:24:02 +0000

Bob and I met at Camprov, a comedy retreat at Camp Hawthorne in Maine, in the summer of 2007. My old improv comedy group hosts this weekend-long event every year. We do shows and take workshops with well-known improv teachers, and hang around bonfires every night. The first day of camp, I was making a friendship bracelet and he sat down next to me and started making one too. He chose white, black and yellow thread for his bracelet. It took me over a year to realize he was making a Georgia Tech-themed friendship bracelet. (For those of you who don’t know, Bob loves Georgia Tech almost as much as me). He is a quiet person when you first get to know him, but Bob almost talked my ear off while we sat there at the picnic table. It took him almost the entire weekend to finish his bracelet, and before he left on Sunday to go back to Boston, he gave it to me. Wow, he’s nice, I thought, really nice. And he is. He’s the cat’s pajamas, the bee’s knees [er, the Yellowjacket's knees --Bob], the nicest, kindest gentleman I have ever met. He even refuses to walk through a door before me (because he’s a good southern boy, y’all). And lucky me, last June at a fancy little Italian restaurant in Boston’s historic North End, he got down on his knee in a packed roomful of diners, and asked me to be his wife. Well, not so much asked as offered me my great grandmother’s ring and declared his undying love, amid candlelight and soft music and linguini. It was a perfect night.

That was the easy part, now we’re planning our wedding. Eeek!
