Q. Where are you going on your honeymoon?

Q. Are children invited to the wedding?
A. Yes, absolutely. We love kids and wouldn't have it any other way, but keep in mind that we will not be providing a sitter at the wedding. Just be sure to write their name(s) and age(s) on the RSVP card so that we ensure they receive an activity packet.
Q. Why are you not having a destination wedding?
A: Who are you kidding, you just want a reason for a vacation. As cool as it would be to get married on a tropical island, bare foot in the sand isn't our style. Besides, technically, we our having a destination wedding; approximately two-thirds of our guest list are from out of state.
Q: Why is the wedding not in Oregon?
A: We decided to buck "tradition" and not have it anywhere near the bride's hometown. It is really important to us to be able to share our special day with Grandma and Grandpa Perkowski, so we choose to stick to New England. We also assumed that it would be easier to plan a wedding in our backyard as opposed to 3,000 miles away.
Q: Will you be incorporating Chinese traditions into your wedding?
A: The short answer is yes. The which and the how are still up for debate.
Q: I am allergic to certain foods, what will I be able to eat?
A: Please email us your food sensitivities. We will work with our caterer to ensure that you are taken care of.
