Can someone give me a ride from the airport? I’ll have two dogs with me.

You can coordinate rides using the #rides channel. Unfortunately, the hotel doesn’t allow pets.

They are comfort dogs.

w00f! w00f! w00f!

I’m also bringing a bird (a parakeet).

No birds allowed.

BethenyRobertson

It’s small!

Sara

Just a reminder that this Slack channel is for important WEDDING-related communication only. Please hold ALL other comments. We’re trying to keep things clear and manageable!

Absolutely NO birds.

Z-Tim-ZzZ6969

CHirP! CHirP! CHirP!

BethenyRobertson

She can’t be left alone (night terrors). I must bring her.

Sara

We created this Slack to avoid a flood of messages! We CANNOT manage this alongside planning the perfect wedding! We need you all to just READ the details and SHOW UP for this special day that we’ve been working on for over a year! It’s not difficult.

Nana is not attending.

Z-Tim-ZzZ6969

ME-oW!
