Story

We met when a mutual friend, Dov, decided to set us up. Max had just gotten out
of a relationship, and Caroline was nearing a year of swearing off dating while
she finished her dissertation. Within 5 minutes of meeting each other we had
bonded over a shared love of good whiskey, local breweries, woodworking, and
board games. Max impressed Caroline with his knowledge of game mechanics, and
Caroline impressed Max with her knowledge of wood types.

After a fantastic first date, Max insisted on coming over the next day to meet
Caroline's temperamental rescue dog, Lina. While Caroline was instantly smitten
with Max, Lina was more skeptical. Max won Lina over with infinite patience and
a lot of treats.

When a job opportunity arose for Max in Boston, we made the difficult decision
to try long distance while Caroline finished her coding program. As expected,
distance was hard but it made our relationship stronger. By Spring 2021,
Caroline had landed a coding job and Max had decided to throw out their 5 year
plan (that involved waiting a few years to get married) and started planning a
surprise proposal.

Thinking she was planning a 30th birthday vacation, Caroline found an off-grid
cabin on a mountain in the White Mountains, New Hampshire, where they could
celebrate her birthday quietly. When they arrived after a tense 4 hour road trip
from Boston, in which Max was much more bothered by the traffic than usual, Max
insisted Caroline open her birthday gift early. Caroline opened a beautiful hand
made wooden box to find a custom wooden Catan set. To say she was thrilled was
an understatement. As she opened containers and looked at pieces, she was even
more thrilled to find beautiful DND dice and dice boxes. But when she opened the
last box she was confused. "Why is there a ring in this dice box?" she asked. It
took longer than expected for Caroline to realize Max was getting down on one
knee, but no time at all for her to say "Yes!"

Q & A

For all our friends and family who have lots of questions, please check out our
Q & A first!

When is the RSVP deadline?

Please RSVP by July 15th, so we can have an accurate headcount. :)

Can I bring a date?

Please check your invite or RSVP on this website to check for your +1!
Unfortunately due to limited venue space, we cannot accommodate plus ones unless
they are specified on your invite.

Are kids welcome?

As much as we love your little ones, we will not be including them in the
ceremony or reception. Please reach out if you have questions!

What will the weather be like?

Welcome to St. Louis, all of you out-of-towners! St. Louis weather in September
is a little funny. The days can get quite hot (80's) but the nights are cooler
(high 60's). We suggest you bring layers.

Where should I park?

There is plenty of free parking near the north entrance of Tower Grove Park, off
of Magnolia Avenue.

Are the ceremony and reception locations wheelchair accessible?

Yes, the Piper Palm House is wheelchair accessible. There are no stairs at the
venue, however there are some areas with rough cobblestones.

What should I wear?

We suggest cocktail attire.

Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?

Our wedding ceremony & reception is indoors. Our cocktail hour will be outside
under a tent. There will be some seating during the reception outdoors. If you
prefer to be seated outdoors, please let us know.

What kind of shoes should/shouldn't I wear?

Calling all ladies! Do not wear stiletto heels. I repeat, do not wear stiletto
heels. There are a bunch of grassy/dirt areas that you might have to walk in so
wear chunky heels or sandals. Can't have any of you ruining nice shoes or
breaking any ankles.

Is it okay to take pictures with our phones and cameras during the wedding?

Yes! We would love for you to take photos and share them on our app Joy.
However, please refrain from taking photos during the ceremony.

Whom should I call with questions?

Text Caroline at 440.665.3424

Are masks required? Will they be provided?

Masks are currently not required by our venue, however we will be providing
masks for anyone who needs one. We do require that everyone who attends is
vaccinated. We also highly recommend that you get tested within 48 hours of
attending our wedding. You can get a drive through rapid test at your local CVS
& Walgreens.

Will the ceremony and reception be socially distanced?

The ceremony and reception will not be socially distanced. Our cocktail hour
after the ceremony and part of the reception will be outside. If you would
prefer to be seated outside, please let us know.

Thanks for asking, we recently moved and the address listed on the invitation is
