FAQ

Aren’t you guys common-law married already or something?

No. We checked. There’s no common-law marriage in North Carolina; we’d have to move to South Carolina for that!

When will the wedding be?

Sunday, May 30, 2010, in the evening. (This is Sunday of Memorial Day weekend.)

What should I wear?

We’re planning for cocktail formality.  This generally means dark suits for men and cocktail dresses for women.  That said, we’re not going to throw anyone out for “breaking dress code”!  Anything generally wedding-appropriate is cool.

So can I wear black?

Yes.  The bridesmaids will be wearing black dresses, so we clearly don’t feel that black is inappropriate!

Do you guys have a registry?

Check out information on the Registry page.

Where will it be?

The Ceremony will be held at The Raleigh Little Theatre Rose Garden. The Reception will be at Café Luna in Raleigh. Check out the Locations page for details.


So, Carrie asked Keith?

Yes. She beat him to the punch. He’d been saving, but hadn’t gotten the money together yet. Check the gallery page for a picture of the ring.

What does the engraving on Keith’s wedding band mean?

This says pretty much everything you need to know about Keith and Carrie. A single line runs around the circumference of the ring. The ratio of the two sections is 1.618 : 1  This is the golden ratio, which is said to be the closest thing to a mathematical standard of beauty. Keith and Carrie are both pretty scientifically minded people with a strong artistic bent. Or perhaps they are both very artistic people with a strong scientific side. Either way, the symbolism works out.

Keith will be wearing it as a wedding band when the time comes.

Why isn’t there a flower girl/ring bearer?

We’re keeping the whole thing small. Also, there’s really no one to do it. Keith is from a small family, of which he is tied for oldest of his generation. Carrie is from a significantly larger family, but also the oldest.

A few have suggested that our cats, Ada and June, be our flower girls. While the image of a little white cat strapped to a flower basket hissing at everyone from under a chair is an intriguing one, we don’t feel it’s the right one for our wedding.
