Additional info and directions, as seen in invitation

Country Wedding Tips and Advisory: This is a country wedding. The entire event will take place outdoors on grass and under tents, with opportunities for walking down to a river via stone steps and on grassy paths into the woods. You will probably want to leave the 4" heels at home! Please make sure that younger children have hats (adults might want them too) and sunscreen, as well as swimwear (they will be playing at the river) and a change of clothes. There will be tick and mosquito repellent on hand.

Gifts: We are pleased to accept any gifts, but will be registering for our honeymoon and a sofa online (here). There will also be an opportunity for the creatively inclined to purchase and create a square in a quilt made by a local artist (who also happens to be our landlady). Crispina will send all the necessary materials (including a fabric pen to write a personalized message) to the interested parties. See blog for more information.

Directions: The ceremony and reception will be taking place at Rachel’s parents’ home:
