Participant Groupings
We have put together an elite group of friends and families for this wedding celebration, divided into two sub-groups: "Immediate Family" and "Friends." You can probably figure out how those groupings were decided (don't get upset, this isn't Kickball).
Immediate Family: Susan Quattrocchi, Lee and Michael Callaham, Bree and David Callaham, Lauren and Luke Raburn-Posada, Eugene Hsu Friends: Elissa and Gannon Sungar, Dawn and Carlos Lasuncet, Isa Loundon and James Flaherty, Nikki Hinostro and Melissa Agudelo, Matt Eldon and Maria |
Transportation
Hood River is about an hour drive from Portland, OR.
We suggest renting cars for out-of-towners. However, there should be plenty of extra seats to go around, so if you would prefer to carpool with somebody, contact Christina and Greg, and we'll see what we can arrange for you. Christina and Greg will probably be renting a truck to transport some bigger things, so let us know if you have something HUGE that needs transport. |
Housing/Gifts
We have already reserved and paid for two homes in Hood River - one for Immediate Family, and one for Friends (the Immediate Family one is nicer . . . sorry, Friends). Bedding, towels, etc. should all be provided - you all just need to show up.
We do NOT want any gifts from any of you. Seriously. Instead of gifts, please pitch in to cover the housing costs (it averages to less than a normal hotel room per guest). Please contact Christina and/or Greg for exact costs/method of payment. But NO GIFTS! |
