Details for our wedding


Well, we're in the home stretch now. We are very excited with how many "yes" RSVP's we have received. Here are a few details for everyone.

First, we still hope to have the wedding outside even if it is a bit on the chilly side. We will certainly hold the ceremony inside if it is raining or snowing. Otherwise, please anticipate that the ceremony could be outside and dress accordingly. When you arrive, please proceed through the front doors of the mansion and you will be directed from there. The reception will be held indoors with a full dinner buffet. If the ceremony is inside, then our caterers will change over the seating quickly. The bar will be open for our guests and hopefully dinner will be ready by 5:30 p.m. Click here for a map to Bozarth Mansion if you need it.

We will be at our house on the Thursday before the wedding in the late afternoon/early evening with our family and friends. Anyone is invited to come on over and we would love to see you. Click here for a map to our house.

We will be having the rehearsal at our house on the Friday before the wedding. For this please arrive at the house by 5:30 p.m. and we will start the run through close to 5:45 p.m. For the rehearsal, we would like to have the following people here: bridal party, parents, grandparents, ushers, Adrianna, and Matt (if available). We will then head off to Twigs Bistro and Martini Bar for dinner at 7:00 p.m. Significant others and spouses are invited.

We hope to see everyone before the wedding day. In case we don't, here's a brief schedule for the pictures the day of the wedding:

* 1:30: Dave and Shawnia photos alone (this may start sooner than this).

* Next will be the photos with the bridal party (ushers, bridesmaids, bridesman, groomsmen, groomsgirl, officiant, flower girl, ring bearer). Please be at the venue and ready by 2:00 p.m.

* Then we will have the photos with the family (parents, grandparents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, sisters-in-law, etc). Please be at the venue and ready by 2:30 p.m.

* We will do a quick run through of the ceremony after the photos are done.

* We are very excited and honored that Matt, of Ten Mile Tide (check out his band's website here), will be playing the piano to greet our guests. This will start at 4:00 p.m.

* We hope to start the ceremony promptly at 4:30 p.m. and it will probably last 15-20 minutes.
Then the party starts!

We will be departing the venue at 9:15 p.m. (or so) in a very cool car.

We are staying at the Davenport Hotel Honeymoon Suite for two nights. On Sunday morning, anyone who wishes to join us for brunch is welcome. Please let us know so that we can add you to the count for the reservation.

Thank you to everyone for your support. We look forward to celebrating with you.

Shawnia and Dave
