Why Send Out Save the Dates so Early?
We are thrilled to share our "save the date" announcement with you all so far out, as we hope this early notice allows for ample planning. We understand that many of you juggle multiple responsibilities & commitments, so we want to ensure you have ample time to plan your journey to join us in the celebration. For some, this may mean saving up for travel expenses or mapping out a long 14-hour drive. By giving you this extended notice, we hope to sprinkle a little magic into your planning while allowing you to savor the anticipation and create beautiful memories along the way.
Why nods to Harry Potter?
Our wedding will beautifully intertwine rustic flares and elements to the Harry Potter universe, a tribute to Cassie's deep love for the mystical world. The magical world of Harry Potter has brought Cassie comfort during some of life's most challenging moments. From her childhood days spent enchanted by stories in theaters and into adulthood reading the pages of the books, Harry Potter has been a source of magic and inspiration for her. When Levi entered her life, he learned to embrace her passion, understanding how much it meant to her, even if it wasn't quite his goblet of mead. However, our celebration isn't solely about Cassie's interests; it will also honor Levi's love for rustic charm and the great outdoors. We'll incorporate warm, earthy elements that reflect his personality and upbringing, creating a harmonious blend of our worlds. This enchanting fusion will showcase whimsical nods to the wizarding world while also incorporating rustic flares that symbolize Levi's connection to nature. Together, we will create a magical day filled with joy, laughter, and a touch of wonder, where each of our interests compliments and enriches the other, celebrating our love as a beautifully woven tapestry.
Can I Bring Fellow Muggles & Magical Creatures?
At this time, we are keeping our guest list exclusive and will not allow plus-ones. While we adore your furry friends, we kindly ask that only our own beloved pets join us during the festivities. Dogs are welcome in the cabins for an additional fee, & we did find a local RV park that allows pets.
