Ceremony Location
Walker Art Center Sculpture Garden
The ceremony will be held in the Walker Art Center Sculpture Garden near downtown Minneapolis MN. It will be outside on the grass near the Gazebo of the Ancients.
Weather
We will be enjoying the beautiful urban and natural views of Minneapolis, a city we have grown to love on a (hopefully) beautiful summer afternoon. Because we can’t completely plan out the weather, please keep in mind that it will likely be hot, and there is always a chance it will rain. The temperature ranges from 75 to 85 degrees, and there is around a 2 percent chance of moderate rain for this time of day:
Average weather for Minneapolis on July 26th
We will be having the ceremony rain or shine, and so please plan to wear light clothes, and consider an umbrella just in case. We would rather you be comfortable than formal, so jeans and a T-shirt is better than a black suit!

For guests on a budget there are discount hotels farther away such as the Super 8 St Paul Buy online Amoxicillin /I 94 4.5 miles to the east of the reception area that charge $75 dollars on average.
Gift Registry
Because we will be traveling from and back to California for the wedding, we ask that friends and family refrain from getting us physical gifts due to how hard they will be to transport. Instead we set up an online gift registry with all the nice things that would help us start our life together. Many of the more expensive items are split up so that you can contribute to them without having to pay for the full price.

We also appreciate gift cards to Target and Amazon.
