Updated 9/18
We are officially one week away from the Gniddew. Now that it’s crunch time, we’ve been forced to actually start figuring things out for this event (our motto this whole time has been, “ehh, we’ll think of something“). And while I am fairly confident that we will think of something, we have some updates for our guests in advance of the 25th.
Arriving at the Venue:
The event at Bold Monk Brewery will begin at 6pm EST. There will be a ceremony of some sort that begins promptly at 6 (again, I am pretty confident that we will think of something by next Saturday). It’s probably a good idea to show up a bit early, and grab a beer or wine before the ceremony.
Rather than entering through the front of the brewery, please follow the signs that lead around the back of the building and up the stairs to the outdoor patio where the event will take place.
If you are planning to drive, there is a parking lot around the back of the building (you will pass Bold Monk on your right) with a path that leads straight to the outdoor patio.
Dressing for Success
Fashion is one area completely outside the scope of my expertise, so I cannot offer any assistance if you’re wondering what to wear. If I were a guest at this wedding, I’d probably do pants with a dress shirt and jacket, no tie. But that’s just me. Wear whatever you want.
Weather:
According to the 10-day forecast on weather.com, it will be sunny with a high of 76, but a low of 57 (and 5 mph winds heading WNW). For us Atlanta folks, this is cold. Keeping in mind that the event will mostly take place outdoors, it may be a prudent idea to bring a jacket.
Gift Policy:
Please do not bring us a gift.
We are already married, so we are not expecting any gifts. In fact, many of you have already given us gifts last year when we actually tied the knot. Please do not feel obligated to bring a gift of any kind, we are excited enough to have you present at our event. The best thing you could give us is a great memory at the Gniddew.
Again, this is a gniddew, not a wedding. If you read the blog post about the Rejected Gniddew Ideas, then you know about the “reverse registry” idea that didn’t make the cut.
If you absolutely won’t take no for an answer, we won’t turn down cash, but your thank-you note will passive-aggressively mention your inability to follow the gift instructions on the website.
Thank you all for your love and support and we cannot wait to see you all at the Gniddew! I promise we will think of something.
Sincerely,
Mac Sandemma
The Gniddew
