Emily Morris and Park Silkenson will have a modest, but elegant ceremony on 15 March 2008. It will be held in Elgin, Texas at the home of Greg and Kay Silkenson, Park's parents. We hope that you come and bring your own sense of fun and happiness with you.
We will be there with our parents to greet you anytime after 6:30pm. Mingle, have a drink, have your picture taken and enjoy the music until the ceremony at sunset, which the charts say will be at 7:40pm. Kids can feel free to run and play.

We call it "nice casual" or "elegant casual." What we're going for is this: we want you comfy but not grungy. Emily's on the hunt for a beautiful dress and Park plans to wear a suit sans tie. We expect to see a wide range of dress-up, so you're likely to be just fine in your favorite go-to outfit. One thing to remember - we are going to be outside. Please consider the temperature, as mid-March could be almost anything. And ladies, there will be grass to navigate, so spiky heels might be troublesome!
Of course, you're not required to give us anything! For those of you who can't wait to spend your dollars on us, we're registered at Bed Bath and Beyond and Crate & Barrel.Where To Stay
