Semi-formal attire is more polished than casual, but less formal than black tie. For women: cocktail dresses, elegant skirt-and-blouse ensembles, or jumpsuits, paired with heels or dressy flats. For men: dress slacks with a button-down shirt and tie (a jacket is optional) or a suit without a tie. The goal is to look refined and celebratory while remaining comfortable.

In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, couples may be united in a special temple ceremony called a sealing, which is considered a deeply meaningful spiritual commitment. Because the ceremony is private and only open to members of the church, many couples like us also hold a civil ceremony open to all loved ones, followed by a reception.
Yes! We are merging two cultures, and our celebration will reflect both. You’ll see familiar moments like the first dance and bouquet toss, along with some Mexican wedding traditions.
