SEEKERS CHURCH

The ceremony, reception, and dinner will be held at Seekers Church, located at 276 Carroll St NW, Washington, DC 20012. That's one block from the Takoma Metro Station, just inside the DC line.

Plenty of parking is available on Carroll St and Eastern Ave immediately surrounding Seekers Church.

Attire

Right now Marian is planning to wear a wedding dress, and Chris a tux. However, you don't need to wear what we're wearing! We expect most folks to be wearing a suit or cocktail dress. However, wear what makes you look and feel good and celebratory.

Gifts

The only gifts we'd like is your help celebrating our union.

Help us get dirty

As a symbolic reminder that marriage requires nurturing and a good foundation, we'll be potting a plant as part of our ceremony.

However, we cannot do it alone. It would be appreciated and meaningful if each of you, our loved ones, brought a handful of actual, real dirt to contribute to our plant. The dirt will be a physical manifestation of the foundation and community from which our love grows. We'd especially love it if the dirt comes from somewhere special to you.

We will have a container for you to add your contributions to when you arrive (and wipes so you don't have to worry about any mess!).
