❓Is a gay wedding different to a straight wedding?

 

Look, yes. But also… no? But also definitely yes.

 

Here’s what you’re not getting:

• No white dress reveal with a sobbing groom at the end of the aisle.

• No awkward speeches from an uncle named Barry about how he “never thought this day would come.”

• No one being handed over like a goat in exchange for dowry.

• No weird garter situation. Ever.

• No traditional roles. Just vibes. 

 

Here’s what you are getting:

• Two ridiculously in-love brides (who both proposed, obviously)

• No gender rules, just really good taste

• Possibly tears, definitely dogs

• A playlist that doesn’t make sense, but somehow makes perfect sense — equal parts wife music, farm-core, and “wait is this from Twilight?”

• So much love you’ll feel it in your shins

• A reminder that the lesbians are doing weddings better. Sorry, it’s true.

 

Basically, it’s like a straight wedding — if it were run by people who actually communicate and colour-code things.

❓Who’s taking whose last name? And… who’s the husband?

 

First of all — bold of you to assume we have a husband in this situation.

Spoiler: we don’t. There’s no husband. Just two wives, one legal document, and a very powerful spreadsheet.

 

As for the last name?

We considered:

• A thumb war best-of-three

• Rock-paper-scissors in front of a celebrant

• A legally binding dance-off

• Consulting the dogs via treat-based voting

• Letting the cows at the venue choose by headbutting a name

 

But in the end…

Jayke is becoming a Jones. 💍

 

Which means we both get to be Mrs Jones — and yes, with Abbie’s mum and sister-in-law also sharing that name, there will officially be four Mrs Joneses living at one address.

Pray for our postie. Honestly.

❓What’s with the Name Tweak?

​

We know you’re used to seeing “Jake” spelled the usual way, but you’ll notice a little extra ‘y’ in “Jayke” now. It’s just a small addition that feels more aligned and a little more them. Basically, it’s like a small personal touch that ties their old spelling and their preferred name together in a way that just feels right.

 

No big announcements needed—it’s just a little detail that makes Jayke happy, and we hope everyone can embrace it. And for the tiny handful of folks who might find it new: it’s all good, it’s still the same Jayke you know and love—just with a bit more ‘y’ because life’s too short not to spell your name the way you like!

❓Do I need to bring anything?

 

Just yourself, your good energy, and a willingness to cry at lesbians in love.

Optional extras: comfy shoes, compliments (for you to give us).

 

⸻

 

❓What if it rains?

 

We have a backup plan. You’ll still be dry, you’ll still be fed, and the vibes will remain immaculate.

Also, lesbians don’t melt. We’ve checked.

 

⸻

 

❓Will there be seating?

 

Yes. You will not be standing in a field for 7 hours like an indie music video.

There’ll be places to sit, wander, loiter, and dramatically lean while sipping things.

 

⸻

 

❓What are we eating?

 

Delicious cocktail-style food. Possibly a grazing table that will spiritually awaken you.

Please tell us your dietary needs in the RSVP so no one ends up nibbling air.

 

⸻

 

❓What should I do if I’ve lost the invite?

 

You’re literally on the website that replaces it.

Congratulations, you are now officially re-invited.

 

⸻

 

❓Can I bring a plus one?

 

If you weren’t given one, no.

We love you, but we’re not feeding strangers. (Except the children. They somehow made the list.)

 

⸻

 

❓Can I take photos?

 

Yes — candid moments are welcome! Just please be mindful during important moments, and don’t block the professionals (or stand in front of a dog in a bow tie).

​

⸻

 

❓Is it BYO?

 

Nope!

Cowbell Creek is a fully licensed venue — so please, no smuggling in goon bags or hip flasks. We’re classy now.

 

Here’s what to expect:

• Free drinks are included (we’ve got you covered)

• If you’re feeling extra (hello cocktails, top-shelf spirits, or going wild after the bar tab runs dry), fancy drinks are available for purchase

• ID may be required, so bring it just in case

• A lovely range of non-alcoholic options will be on offer: soft drinks, water, non-alcoholic punch, and mocktails — because everyone deserves a fancy drink

• Tea and coffee available too

• Payments accepted via cash or card

​

Basically: you’ll be hydrated, happy, and (hopefully) dancing.

❓When does the bus leave?

 

The Get-In-Loser-We’re-Getting-Married-Mobile will depart Cowbell Creek at exactly 10:05pm.

If you’re not on it, you are staying with the cows.

We love you — but we will not be coming back for you.

 

⸻

 

❓Can I request music?

 

Yes, but please do not shout “play Horses” mid-ceremony.

Please submit song requests along with your RSVP here.

Keep it meaningful, fun, and not from your 2012 gym playlist.

​

⸻

 

❓Is there reception?

 

Mostly.

There is 4G at the venue, but it’s patchy — especially if your phone is old or cursed.

Take that as your cue to be present, take cute pics, and not live-text your group chat during speeches.

 

⸻

 

❓Will there be a fireplace?

 

Yes — and possibly marshmallows.

There’ll be a lovely fire to gather around once the sun goes down, perfect for toasting snacks or your emotions.

 

Not a dancer? No stress.

There will be plenty of seating, chill zones, and places to vibe quietly while still soaking up the love. Whether you’re a dancefloor queen or a professional loiterer, we’ve got you covered.

❓What if I have more questions?

 

If the answer isn’t on this site, ask yourself:

“Is this something I truly need to know, or can I just go with the flow and be normal for once?”

If it’s truly urgent, you may message — but know that we are two very tired wives-to-be who have poured everything into this website. Please honour our sacred scroll.
