Frequently asked questions

1. Where do I fly in?
A: Seatac Airport, Seattle WA. It is about a 2hr drive from the airport to Mount Rainier. You can also fly into Portland, OR. Its only about thirty minutes farther. I recommend either going to mapquest or taking a look at a map before you decide.

2. What should I wear?
A: WEDDING -- The girls in the wedding party will be wearing sundresses and the boys will be wearing khakis and a long sleeve shirt and tie. Please wear whatever you are comfortable wearing. I believe there will be a wide spectrum from more formal to more casual, but everything goes. We will be outside for most of the day and so sundresses and sandals are very appropriate. You can see from the picture that the ground of the amphitheater where the wedding ceremony will be held is gravel. So heels are fine, they won't sink into grass, but walking on gravel may be tricky. It's up to you. I will either wear sandals, barefoot, or cowboy boots, I haven't decided. Shorts or jeans are fine too!

A: REHEARSAL DINNER -- We are having a barbeque outside in Ashford, WA at Rainier Basecamp. Jeans, shorts, dresses, anything goes! It's a BBQ. I will probably wear a casual and comfortable dress with sandals. But there is a climbing wall and a bouldering rock, and a big field for frisbees, kids and dogs, so if you want to play, bring something to play in. I will probably have shorts just in case I need them.

A: THE WEATHER -- August is the nicest time of year in Washington, but it can still be cold. Especially at the highest point in the park, Paradise. There may still be snow in Paradise, if not, it will be an easy hike to play in the snow. So bring enough clothes in case it gets cold. If everything goes as planned it will be in the 80's.

3. Is Billy really a male model?
A: Yes, e has graced pages 77/78 of the winter 2006 LL Bean catalog and was very close to doing some other, alternative modeling gigs. TAG

4. Can we bring kids?
A: Yes of course!

5. Do we pay an entrance fee to get into the park?
A: If you are just coming into the park the day of the wedding, you do not need to pay an entrance fee. Tell the rangers at the entrance that you are with the Uberuaga wedding. If you are staying in the park, and will be there for more than just the wedding and reception, you will have to pay an entrance fee.

6. Is there transportation for us in the park from the Inn to wedding and reception?
A: We are still working out the details. We will have something to transport people around in the park the day of the wedding.

7. Which groomsman would win in a wrestling match?
A: TBD

8. Is there a wedding registry?
A: Yes. We registered at a bunch of different places. We hope this makes it easier for everyone.

Ashford Creek Pottery - 360-569-1000
We did something a bit different and registered for our plates, bowls, etc. with a local potter in Ashford, Rick and Jana. They are family friends and wonderful artists. We have set up a wish list with them and so you can give them a call. You can call them at the studio at 360-569-2933 or at the gallery at 360-569-1000. They are going to make all of the pottery for us after the wedding, so you probably won't be able to buy a piece, unless they happen to have it in stock in the gallery. So the simplest thing is to call and order a gift certificate.

We also registered for knives and other houseware items at: Macys, Williams and Sonoma, & Crate and Barrel. I think if you go to any of those stores or go on-line they will have our registries available.

9. Are we going to have cake or smores?
A: Both
