FAQ
Will Kip be there?
Kip unfortunately cannot attend our City Hall ceremony or the evening reception due to building restrictions, but he has expressed interest in doing a meet-and-greet Friday afternoon, and he will definitely be attending the wine tasting picnic.
What should I wear?
Clothes. Please wear something in which you you feel both comfortable and would like to be photographed and remembered. Suggested attire is Semi-Formal or Dressy Casual. The weather here in spring ranges between 60 and 75 F depending on the micro-climate, and we suggest bringing a jacket or warm sweater for the evening.
How did you meet?
We met the old fashioned way in the days before swiping right on a phone app: with painstakingly crafted OK-cupid profiles.
Is Jasmine changing her name?
Yup! And it's also going to change to "doctor" once her PhD in neuroscience is conferred around the same time.
How did Jon propose?
At the top of the Craigmillar Castle in Edinburgh, Scotland. Fun Fact: we visited 1 day before they closed it to the public for filming of the new Netflix show, Outlaw King.
I want to see an up close picture of the ring but I'm too polite to ask.
For sure. It's a 0.5 carat moissanite main stone set in hand carved platinum. Bandscapes, of Bend Oregon designed and produced it. There’s an accompanying band with 5 small leaves, each with a 1/8 carat moissanite stone embedded. Jon's ring will feature a wood band from a Bruichladdich whiskey barrel, kindly given by the distillery, set in white gold, by StagheadDesigns in Marriott-Slaterville, Utah. Jon has not seen the ring yet, it will be unveiled on the big day.
Can I bring a date?
Unfortunately we are unable to accommodate any additional guests on April 5 who's names are not written on the invitation. However! For our wine tasting picnic on Saturday April 6, please invite anyone you would like to join!
When's the RSVP deadline?
We would very much like to have an absolute final headcount by March 22, 2019. Preferably much sooner. Message Jasmine at dickinson.jasmine@gmail.com or go here to let us know what events you can attend. Facebook Messenger or Whatsapp also work. Telepathy doesn’t.
What exactly is the alcohol situation?
Friday afternoon at our house, we will have mix-your-own cocktails and a variety of beer. At Vino Locale there will be a selection of red and rose wine, plus a small keg of IPA beer. We have planned for a copious amount of wine, but it will not be unlimited.
For the casual wine tasting picnic on Saturday April 6, wine and other alcohol will be at your own expense. We will bring snacks and such to share.
And other substances?
Absolutely no smoking or vaping of any substance at our house, indoors or outdoors. We have a few guests who are very sensitive to smoke and particulates of any kind, and our lease has a strict no-smoking clause.
Where is the honeymoon?
FIJI!
