So did you change your name?

Q: So did you [usually referring to Beth] change your name?

A: Nope. No changes of any names took place whatsoever in conjunction with our wedding celebration and/or legal union, that we know of.

(Please note that it's all well and good to send mail to "Mr. and Mrs. Steve Mokris" but keep in mind that, strictly speaking, "Mrs. Steve Mokris" aka "Beth Mokris" is a fictional entity, and as such, cannot cash, deposit, or sign checks.)

Will your cats be in the ceremony?

beth+otto
Beth and Otto

Q: Will your cats be in the ceremony?

A: As meaningful (and adorable) as it would be to have our furry loved ones with us on the day we celebrate our commitment to our life together as a happy multi-species family, there are a few reasons why having them present might not be a good idea:

  • Lots of people are allergic

What should I wear?

Q: What should I wear?

A: Whatever makes you happy. Anything from smart casual to semi-formal would be perfectly acceptable. Keep in mind it will be morning-midday, outdoors, in late spring/early summer.

What about the cake/food?

Q: So it says on your registry page that you guys are vegans or something? Where are you going to find a vegan cake?

A: Pattycake Vegan Bakery.

Q: But won't the cake be really gross if it doesn't have any butter or milk or eggs?

A: No. Judging from our previous sampling (and by sampling, we mean scarfing down) of Patty Cake's delicious cupcakes, cookies, and cinnamon buns, as well as many home-cooked vegan desserts, vegan cakes rule.

Where will the celebration take place?

Q: Where will the marriage celebration take place?

Legal marriage full disclosure

Just so there's no confusion about the significance of the "wedding": Beth and Steve have been legally married for several months and living together for several years, as many of our friends and family already know. The legal "wedding" was performed for mundane logistical reasons (insurance and tuition), occurred with no fanfare (unless you count a celebratory trip to Taco Bell) and we view the June 13th celebration and marriage-blessing ceremony as our real wedding day.

Where will you go for your honeymoon?

Q: Where will you go for your honeymoon?

Q: Helsinki? For a honeymoon?

A: Totally. It's a pretty cool place:

Where are you registered?

Q: Where are you registered?

A: ...

Q: Where are you registered?

A: Um. I don't know. Probably. Yes, I think so.

Q: Where are you registered?

A: I was working late at the office and I took the train home and went to sleep. I didn't kill him. Honest.

Q: Tell me where you are registered, dammit!

A: Sorry, I'm never sure how many times I'm supposed to dodge this question before Emily Post says I'm allowed to answer it.
