No. We will be married during a private courthouse ceremony before the reception. We have chosen to keep our vows an intimate moment, but we can't wait to celebrate our marriage with our family and friends! We hope you'll join us for an evening of good food, great company, and joyful memories as we begin this next chapter together. 💕🥂

We'll be celebrating on private property, with festivities taking place outdoors and access to the home throughout the evening for your comfort. Since Florida autumn weather can still be warm, we recommend dressing for the season and wearing comfortable footwear suitable for outdoor areas. Rain or shine, we look forward to celebrating with you! 🍂✨🥂

Guest arrival begins at 4:00 PM. We recommend arriving no later than 4:30 PM so you have time to grab a drink, find your seat, and settle in before the official welcome and opening of the celebration.

Children are welcome to celebrate with us! To help us with seating and planning, the guests included in your party will be listed on your invitation and RSVP. Please use your invitation as your guide when responding.

Absolutely! Dinner, desserts, and refreshments will be served throughout the evening. Beer, wine, and a selection of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages will also be available for guests to enjoy as we celebrate together. If you have a severe food allergy or dietary restriction, please let us know in advance. While we cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment, we will do our best to accommodate your needs and ensure you have something delicious to enjoy.

Parking has been arranged for all guests and designated parking areas will be available upon arrival. For guests staying at the recommended hotel accommodations, Uber and other rideshare services are available and encouraged. We also welcome carpooling and ride-sharing among family and friends whenever possible. Whether you choose to drive, carpool, or utilize a rideshare service, we've planned accordingly to help ensure a smooth and enjoyable evening for everyone.

Rather than registering for traditional household gifts, we have chosen to create a honeymoon and travel fund. As a military couple currently stationed on different continents, opportunities to spend time together are incredibly valuable to us. If you would like to honor us with a gift, contributions toward future travels and shared experiences would be greatly appreciated. Most importantly, we are simply grateful to celebrate with those we love.
