Wedding Questions
When is the wedding?

Where is the wedding?
The wedding ceremony will take place at Inscription Rock, near Unique Marker Yacht Club. The reception will take place right after at the Kelleys Island Park Pavilion (about a block away from Inscription Rock).
Will there be a formal, mailed invite?
No. You should have received a “save the date” card and/or an electronic invitation.
Seriously?!? Why?! Are you that cheap?!?
Well, kinda but more importantly we live and work in the digital world. Our mail, shopping, socializing, television, movies and reading are digital, why not a personalized wedding invite?
But I REALLY want a mailed/hard copy invite!!!
C’mon, save a tree. But if you really need something more tangible feel free to print this out. You can even mail it to yourself!
What should I wear?

Is this a dry wedding?
No. and shame on you. We thought you knew us better than that.
Where are you registered?
We aren’t currently registered anywhere. Stay tuned.
Will we be doing the hokey pokey?
No.

Can I stay on the island?
Yes, but options are more limited. There are only a few hotels on Kelley’s, but there are B&Bs and rental homes available*.

BE AWARE OF FERRY SCHEDULES!

Holy shnikes is that Cedar Point I see?
