Terri:

Lots of folk have been asking how they can help, because you are awesome people who are used to pitching in at events. Go you! Please don't feel obliged, since we have lots of volunteers, but there ''are'' lots of little things that need to be done regularly throughout the day that you could help with if you want to spread the workload around.

* Step 1: DO NOT ASK TERRI.
* Step 2: On the wedding day, there will be a big whiteboard with tasks. Claim one, do it, check it off or mark time it was done.
* Step 3: You have helped!

Mostly this is stuff like "check to make sure there's toilet paper in the bathrooms" or "refill water pitchers on the tables"

Unsure? Our volunteer coordinators are Susan and Marlene (the bridesmaids).

Here's a map of the yard and house.

[[File:House-sitemap.png|400px]]

== Food ==
* Tea & dinner in the tents
* Grilling near the house

== Crafting ==
* Make a tea hat.
** [https://www.etsy.com/market/tea_party_hat Etsy has classy hats], we'll be just hot gluing things to cheap hats. Bring your own hat if you want one that actually fits, but we've got 20-25 on hand. Most of them are sized to fit average-sized adult heads, but some are kid sized. You can also bring hilarious things to glue to hats, if you need robots on your tea hat or something. We have flowers, a few butterflies, and some feathers.
* Soldering stations (the wedding favours are solder-your-own, but we'll have some done up if you don't want to solder)
* Decorate your tea cup (we'll have some pens & stickers so you can tell which one is yours. Please take it home with you!)
* Cardboard city
** Build something with the many many boxes that have arrived at our house! They will be in a big pile in the backyard, probably under the shade of the cherry tree
* Button making with Terri's button maker

== Playing ==

* Board games (in the basement, if you need out of the sun/rain/weather)
* Water gun play area at the back of the 2 acres
* Cornhole (Beanbag toss) games will be somewhere flat in the backyard, probably just past the cherry tree

Transport

2016-06-28T03:30:36Z

Terri: mention dirt trail section

= Public =

[[File:Trimet logo.svg|x120px|Trimet logo|link=http://trimet.org/]]

Public transport is pretty reasonable around Portland, though for any of our European friends - it's not *THAT* good. We've got a number of options for getting around, the most useful (and part of why we chose the house we are in) is the MAX line, light rail, but the others are:
* MAX Light Rail ($2.50/2h trip or $5/day)
* Bus line (same fare works on bus and light rail)
* Wes Commuter
* Portland Streetcar

We live a 15-20 minute walk from a light rail station, so it's a viable way to get out here if you wear comfy shoes! There are a couple of gaps in the sidewalk, and you'll be walking through some grass on a dirt trail in one spot.

= Rental Cars =

Portland has the usual array of rental cars. A rental car may be cheaper than cab fare if you're coming in by plane, and gives you more ability to do things like check out Multnomah Falls or the beach (we recommend the train for the bookstore, though!)

= Taxi Companies =

[[https://www.google.com/#q=taxi+companies+in+portland+OR|Google search for taxi companies in Portland, OR]]

We have not had great success with the taxi companies out here -- J has been stuck waiting at the door for both lost or entirely missing cabs on several occasions -- but in theory they serve this area, and they're mostly fine during the day.

= Uber / Lyft =

Uber and Lyft both operate in Portland. They are generally a bit cheaper and more reliable than the local taxi companies, if you're into rideshare services.

= Airport =

If you're coming from the PDX airport:

* The trip from PDX to Hillsboro via MAX takes around 1.5-2h, but only costs $2.50/person.
* Cab fare can cost $90 before tip from PDX to Hillsboro.
* Uber can be as low as around $50 depending on the time of day.
* A rental car may be a viable alternative to cab fare. Driving takes around 30-40 minutes during non-rush-hour. You'll be following signs to Portland, then Beaverton, then Hillsboro.

We are intending, right now, to hold the entire wedding, ceremony, "High Tea", and BBQ in our back yard. You'll be able to tell from the provided map - we've got the space.

= Parking =

'''NOTE:''' The City of Hillsboro has marked, almost entirely, Kalahari Ridge Ave "No Parking", so the only "close" parking will be:
# reserved below and
# priority given to various folks based on our own random criteria.

We've got a couple of options we are looking into, more details on those when we get them, but there is street parking available in the neighbourhoods around us, and up on Quatama. I'll attempt to create, and provide, a listing of areas where parking is permitted (and not permitted) nearby so folks are aware.

'''UPDATE:''' So we've been able to work out with the Elks lodge up the street to use some of their parking (they are being very generous and we are *VERY* appreciative of this). They would like us to park as close to the hedge as possible, but since that's on the south side of the parking lot, and it's the closest to the house - I suspect that will be everyone's inclination anyway.

There are additional '''POTENTIAL''' spots, you would almost certainly get parked in if you want to discuss these, and if the ground isn't a soggy mess.

I will also go out on a limb here, and anyone who drives a smart car I will guarantee close parking to in a special "smart car only" section ;-)

Public transport is pretty reasonable around Portland, though for any of our European friends - it's not *THAT* good. We've got a number of options for getting around, the most useful (and part of why we chose the house we are in) is the MAX line, light rail, but the others are:
* MAX Light Rail ($2.50/2h trip or $5/day)
* Bus line (same fare works on bus and light rail)
* Wes Commuter
* Portland Streetcar

We live a 15-20 minute walk from a light rail station, so it's a viable way to get out here if you wear comfy shoes!

= Rental Cars =

Portland has the usual array of rental cars. A rental car may be cheaper than cab fare if you're coming in by plane, and gives you more ability to do things like check out Multnomah Falls or the beach (we recommend the train for the bookstore, though!)

= Taxi Companies =

[[https://www.google.com/#q=taxi+companies+in+portland+OR|Google search for taxi companies in Portland, OR]]

We have not had great success with the taxi companies out here -- J has been stuck waiting at the door for both lost or entirely missing cabs on several occasions -- but in theory they serve this area, and they're mostly fine during the day.

= Uber / Lyft =

Uber and Lyft both operate in Portland. They are generally a bit cheaper and more reliable than the local taxi companies, if you're into rideshare services.

= Airport =

If you're coming from the PDX airport:

* The trip from PDX to Hillsboro via MAX takes around 1.5-2h, but only costs $2.50/person.
* Cab fare can cost $90 before tip from PDX to Hillsboro.
* Uber can be as low as around $50 depending on the time of day.
* A rental car may be a viable alternative to cab fare. Driving takes around 30-40 minutes during non-rush-hour. You'll be following signs to Portland, then Beaverton, then Hillsboro.

Your best bet is to fly into the Portland Airport (PDX) if you are travelling any real distance (unless you are this crazy Irish friend of ours who will be arriving by train).

The airport, is unfortunately, on the FAR other side of town. Getting out to our place will generally require getting another form of [[transport]]

PDX is a pretty awesome airport, all things considered

If you look at the map, you may notice a much closer airport. Alas, large commercial flights do not go into this airport, so unless you own a small plane and have a pilot's license, this is probably not going to work for you.

Terri:

Children are totally invited to the wedding!

Quite a number of kids of different ages have been RSVPed for already, so your children will not be alone, and hopefully they will have a good time.

The backyard is 2 acres and includes a small stream, lots of grass and a decent number of trees (mostly not suitable for climbing). Kids are totally encouraged to explore, and you might want to bring a change of clothes in case of waterfight. There's also some nooks and crannies in the house, although since we'll be having a lot of people staying with us a lot of the rooms will be closed.

The ceremony should be short, but it's ok if kids run around rather than pay attention.

We're hoping to have some crafts and activities set up. More info will appear here when we get that sorted out!

WTF

2016-05-20T07:00:33Z

Terri:

'''WTF email invitations?'''

We've tried to distill the wedding down to things that really mattered to us: friends, food, photos, and legally tying the knot. Turns out neither of us cares much about floral arrangements or fancy invitations, but we did want our geographically diverse friends to have the opportunity to come visit if they wanted to, so we're using the money to help pay for flights and gas and whatnot so that hopefully coming to visit won't be such a hard choice. If you'd like some help, please ask!

In case you're curious: There will be two physical wedding invitations printed and mailed for our grandmothers. For everyone else, yes that email you got was the real invite, and yes we realize we're probably breaking a lot of etiquette rules but friends are more important than paper, sorry!

'''WTF why the backyard?'''

We have 2 acres and it's pretty nice here in the summer, so why not?

WhatToWear

2016-05-13T06:41:01Z

Terri:

'''Q:''' What should I wear to this wedding?

'''A:''' Clothes!

Depending on the weather, a lot of the wedding will be held outdoors, so dress to be comfortable for a backyard bbq/garden party:

* The ground is not very even and the patio is cobblestone, so sandals or flats are probably best
* The area is pretty sunny, and there's going to be a tea party, so feel to wear your best high tea hat!
* It's usually too hot in July for suits, and you don't need to be so formal on our account!
* If you plan to partake in water fights, you might want a change of clothes. Or at least a towel. I expect we know the sort of hoopy froods who know where their towels are, though.

Registry

2016-05-13T06:20:20Z

Terri:

We'll start this off by saying '''you don't need to get us anything'''. We know coming to this wedding involves a lot of travel for many of you. We want to see you and we don't want anyone to over-extend themselves to make that happen.

Beyond that, we also had two households worth of stuff combined into one already. We're getting married later in life and we already own three rice cookers, two blenders, etc. We can't decide on a flatware design we both like, and Terri hates matching dishes. Basically a lot of the normal stuff people put on registries doesn't make sense.

But we've been told that one simply must have a gift registry, and while we're ignoring a lot of things one "simply must" have for a wedding, and we '''did''' destroy half our towels in the great leaking sink accident when we lived in Albuquerque...
