ganked from a post on weddingplans
There are certain things people ask us about the
wedding over and over again, so we're putting together
a handy list. If you have the urge to ask us one of
these things, we suggest you view this song
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwY5o2fsG7Y) instead.
Q: Are you stressed?
A: Sometimes.
Q: Do you think everything will be ready?
A: Yes, but sometimes we're stressed about it.
Q: Are you excited?
A: Always.
Q: Are you nervous?
A: Not really.
Q: Are you freaking out?
A: Occasionally, but asking that doesn't help.
Q: Don't be stressed.
A: Telling us not to be stressed doesn't actually make
us less stressed.
Q: Something always goes wrong at a wedding.
A: Like you getting socked in the nose?
Q: If something goes wrong, no one will notice.
A: Will that be more or less noticeable than you
mysteriously disappearing?
Q: What if it rains?
A: What if you shut up?
Q: What if a walrus eats your cake?
A: A walrus puking at your wedding is considered good
luck.
Q: What if a walrus *doesn't* eat your cake?
A: We'll make do.
Q: How about a person that just looks like a walrus?
A: That would be a little creepy.
Q: Even if it's the Mythbuster Jamie Hyneman?
A: He's welcome to come eat our cake.
Q: What kind of cake is it, anyway?
A: Styrafoam.
Q: What time/where is the [rehearsal/rehearsal
dinner/picnic/wedding/reception/afterparty]?
A: Please consult our website, or the 800 e-mails
we've sent with this information.
Q: What was that website again?
A: www.steveandelicia.com.
Q: What time do we have to be there for pictures
and/or setting things up?
A: Pictures are at 2:00. Please be on time. We're
asking the candle-lighters and some of the guys to
come in the morning to help set things up around
11:00. Set up should last an hour or so, giving them
time to shower and change before it's time to
pictures. We'll be sending a more detailed schedule
in the next day or two.
Q: Good thing there won't be any traffic.
A: The ceremony/reception site is near Dodger Stadium,
and it's the final regular season game of the season.
Plan for there to be traffic.
Q: I live far away, and it's inconvenient for me to go
home to shower and change between set up and pictures.
A: Elicia's dad and brother have a room at the Best
Western which will be available for people to shower
in.
Q: Where's the Best Western again?
A: Check the website.
Q: What is your dress like?
A: You'll find out Sunday, September 30, at
approximately 4:15.
Q: Come on, you can tell me.
A: Nope. Only Elicia, her mother, and her seamstress
are seeing the dress before the ceremony.
Q: No, I was talking about Steve's dress.
A: It's a sparkly pink tutu.
Q: Where are you going on your honeymoon?
A: Italy and Greece.
Q: When do you leave/return/how long will you be
there?
A: We leave October 3, and return October 20.
Q: Are you excited?
A: Duh.
Q: Watch out for pickpockets.
A: Thank you. We never would have thought of doing
that after only 753 people told us. But now that
we've heard it 754 times, we'll be wary.
Q: Will my table feature any attractive single
[men/women/I'm not picky]?
A: Aside from the waitstaff, there are surprisingly
few single people at the wedding. There is, however,
plenty of beer and non-single people of questionable
virtue, so feel free to try your luck.
Q: Will you be upset if I hook up with one of your
[relatives/friends/wedding party
members/waitstaff/pieces of furniture]?
A: Only if no one tells us about it. We want to know
the gossip.
Q: How would you be upset if you didn't know it
happened?
A: How would people know if I made you cease to exist,
Mister Imaginary Question Asker Person?
Q: Will there be booze at the reception?
A: Only beer, and there will be wine for toasts.
Q: Come on...
A: We'd be happy to have hard alcohol if you'll pay
the thousands of dollars it would cost.
Q: What's the deal with the after-party? Will it be a
problem if I show up without RSVPing or don't show up
when I said I would?
A: Unlike every other event, we don't really care
about RSVPs for the afterparty. It's not particularly
organized and we aren't buying or planning anything
for it. As far as The Standard's concerned, a bunch
of well dressed awesome people will be randomly
showing up at their lounge. It's not like we sent out
engraved invitations.
Q: Yes you did.
A: But they don't know that.
Q: But you are hosting the bar there, right?
A: No. You are responsible for paying for your own
drinks. The bartender won't have any billing
information for us, and we want to keep it that way.
Q: Come on...
A: See the previous comment about us being happy to
have a hosted bar if you're willing to pay for it.
We'll be very angry at anyone who tries to convince
the bartender it's a hosted bar. We don't want to
spend our first day of married life having to fight
over a $10,000 bill.
Q: What's if it's a literal $10,000-bill, featuring a
portrait of President Zod, and the form of fighting is
jello wrestling?
A: That would be fine.
Q: Is it okay if I show up at the rehearsal dinner or
picnic without RSVPing?
A: No. We're buying stuff in advance for these, and
we need accurate headcounts.
Q: Did you know you've forgotten to wear pants today?
A: I do now.
Q: What are the wedding's colors?
A: Blue, like the invitations, website, and everything
else that you've seen related to the wedding.
Q: Is the wedding going to be awesome?
A: Definitely
