| | Youre the one with the brains here. Im wtcainhg for your posts. |
| | |
| The following invitation is the wiki page we used to provide information to people before our wedding in Cambridge on Monday, May 29, 2006.

| Many apologies to those that are hearing this for the first time, but Mika and I decided to get married a couple months ago. You can read a public announcement about [http://mako.cc/copyrighteous/reflections/20060502-00.html our decision here].
| |
| | |
| In any case, we've decided to do the official marriage in a way that is secular, fun, and completely for us. We're going to do it on this coming Monday 5/29 which, although you may have forgotten, is Memorial Day and a holiday. We'll have another ceremony/reception/TBD out in Seattle for our extended families that will be more traditional.
| |
| | |
| Our previous plans to do the ceremony in the MIT Chapel had to be changed when we learned a couple days ago that they would only host religious ceremonies. As a last minute fill-in, Alana Lafferty has offered her backyard in Somerville near the Davis Square T-stop. Given the 31C/87F weather we're expecting on Monday, that sounded ''perfect''.

| == Schedule ==
| |
| | |

| |
| | |
| In terms of the party, we're going to have a keg of framboise (yes, it comes in kegs) and a keg of heffewiezen. We're going to have a barbecue. Vegetarian choices will definitely be provided -- meat barbecue ''may'' also be provided as well (we're still figuring that out).
| |
| | |
| | |
| == Directions ==
| |
| | |
| We're going to have both the ceremony and the party at Alana Lafferty's house. The address is 25 Kingston Street, Somerville. Directions are [http://people.csail.mit.edu/alana/directions/ here].
| |
|
| |
| We'll be in the backyard.

| | |
| | |
| == What You Wear/Bring ==
| |
| | |
| * '''Dress:''' It looks like it's going to be hot so dress comfortably and casually. There's no need to wear fancy clothes. Of course, paraders should come in parade attire.
| |
| * '''Instruments:''' If you play a portable musical instrument (e.g., horn, accordion, harmonica, whistle, panpipes), please email Samuel Klein who is organizing the parade and give him the details. His email is <sjklein@hcs.harvard.edu>.
| |
| * '''Gifts:''' A number of people have asked about gifts. There is really no need to give us anything. Really. Mika and I have more than we need. If people feel the need to give, we'd be happy if donations were made in our names to [[GroupsWeLike]].
| |
| | |
| == Other ==
| |
| | |
| If you can manage to RSVP so we can get a rough headcount for food, that would be great. If you have questions, we're happy to field those as well. You can email me at <mako@atdot.cc> or Mika at <mika@yukidoke.org>.
| |
| | |
| If you are coming from out of town and need a place to stay, we still have a bit of room at [http://www.acetarium.com the Acetarium]. Email us for details and to confirm space.

| Feel free to forward this on to people you think should know. :)
