FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions.
Here's a list of questions you may have and their answers. Let us know if there is not something covered on this list.
Will you change your names?
Yes, our new last name will be Bennett.
Why are you getting married?
Because Jennifer kindly said yes. :) Serious answer: because in these uncertain times we have found security and love in each other and in our family and friends. We want to get everyone together and have a party to celebrate it.
Why is it a wedding and not a commitment ceremony?
Despite being unconventional in some ways, we are very traditional. Words like 'marriage' and 'wife' have clear meanings, and are different from 'domestic partner' and 'girlfriend.' Besides, asking someone to 'commitment ceremony' you just doesn't have the same ring to it as 'marry me.'
I have children. Will a baby sitter be provided?
Yes, a licensed/bonded baby sitter will be provided, that way we can all have a nice "adults only" time. Mature teenagers are allowed.
Are you registered?
We are registered with a site called Honeymoon Wishes. We decided we'd love to spend our honeymoon at Walt Disney World, but we need a little help getting there. So instead of registering for crockpots and mixers, we registered for snorkeling and golf lessons.

However I do want to point out that while a gift is nice, the greatest present you can possibly give us is your presence at our wedding. We love you all so much, and seeing you at our big day would mean the world to us.
When and where will the wedding be held?
October 10th, 2010
7 PM
606 S 12th St.
Nashville TN 37206
(615) 712-6167
What will the dress code be?
The dress code we are asking for is Garden Party Attire. If you're not sure what this entails, then click here (new window). Essentially we are asking that you find a nice balance between casual and dressy. Think about what you might wear to a church picnic after church ends. Keep in mind that this will be in Mid October, so dress appropriately for this as well. Highs are generally in the 70's, midnight temps are around 60 degrees, early morning temps (should we still be partying) are around 50 degrees. Also, this will be an outdoor wedding, weather permitting (which it probably will given the weather pattern at this time of year). Therefore, we do suggest that everyone consider wearing non-spiked heels. The ground can be somewhat soft and uneven in some areas, and we don't want any avoidable mishaps.
Special Note: If you are like Sarah and heels/dress shoes are only going to make you miserable, don't be shy about wearing comfortable shoes. We want everyone to be at ease.
What kind of weather can we expect?
Typically speaking October is a very temperate month. Rarely does it get extremely hot, cold or wet. Generally speaking this is perhaps the best month out of all months in Tennessee.

What kind of reception and food can we expect?
The reception will be a cocktail reception. Wines and spirits will be served, along with various hors d'œuvres. Although there will be no large sit down meal, there will be plenty to eat, but we do suggest that you consider a decent lunch that day.
Why are you getting married on 10/10/10?
This is Sarah's dream date, and it is a dream date for all sorts of computer nerds. 101010 in binary (base 2 numeric system, what computer systems use) = 42 in decimal (base 10, what humans use). The number 42 is very important in geek circles, as 42 is considered to be the Ultimate Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything. This is described in Douglas Adam's book The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe. If you've never heard of this book or this phrase at all, then click here: Link (new window)
And it shall be called what?!!
....Earth.

On the Save the Date magnets, what does the tombstone inscription say?
The tombstone reads:
Sarah and Jennifer's
Single Life
Died Oct. 10, 2010
It was killed at a
wedding in Nashville
by a joyous mob.
I believe gay marriage is wrong. What should I do?
Strange thing to put on a wedding site, but it's come up so I will address it.
If you don't believe in gay marriage, then don't marry someone of the same sex. It's as simple as that.
Serious answer: If coming to our wedding would make you uncomfortable, it's all right not to come.
As Allison DuBois said, "When you ignore who you are in order to please others or make them more comfortable, you deny your true energy and keep it from the world, replacing it with the stale ideas of people who are afraid to act and react and to participate in their own dynamic life force."
So, you gotta be you, and I gotta be me. You dig?
