California Casual Chic - February evenings in Carmel can be cool, and light rain is possible, so comfortable layers and weather-friendly footwear are encouraged. Think polished yet relaxed - midi dresses, jumpsuits, skirts, pants, button-downs, blazers, sweaters, shawls, and lightweight jackets. Dressy flats, block heels, boots, loafers, or dress shoes are all great options.
We invite you to join us for an elegant yet relaxed start to our wedding weekend. A thoughtfully curated selection of appetizers and small bites will be served throughout the evening. Guests will receive drink tokens to enjoy a beverage at the bar.
12:30 pm - 2:00 pm
Saint Valentine’s Day Elegance - a romantic, formal celebration. Coastal February weather may be cool with the chance of rain - formal layers and outerwear are welcome. Guests are invited to wear floor-length gowns or refined cocktail dresses, and dark suits. Rich, romantic tones such as red, burgundy, black, or blush are encouraged. Shawls, wraps, dressy coats, or overcoats are recommended for warmth and comfort.
Our wedding will be celebrated within a traditional Catholic wedding Mass at the historic Camel Mission Basilica, a place rich in faith, beauty, and history. In this sacred setting, we will exchange our vows and rings before God, surrounded by family and friends, and ask for His blessing as we begin our life together. Rooted in Scripture, tradition, and grace, this prayerful liturgy marks the start of our marriage - united in love, faith, and devotion. We request your arrival from 12:30-12:45 PM to prepare for the ceremonial mass to start promptly at 1:00 PM.

Bride & Groom
Our first evening together unfolded at Pirate’s Cove, a quiet bluff near San Luis Obispo, beneath a calm, starlit sky. With the ocean breeze and the gentle rhythm of the waves below, we talked for hours - about family, childhood memories, favorite foods, and the values that have shaped who we are. What began as a simple walk at sunset quickly felt effortless and familiar, touched by a quiet sense of grace that made the moment linger. By the time we said goodnight, our hearts felt full and our smiles came easily. That first conversation never truly ended - it carried into morning texts, late-night calls, spontaneous adventures, and years woven together by laughter, growth, and deep affection. From the very beginning, the California coast has held a special place in our story - its beauty reflecting the peace and grounding we find near the ocean. Guided by our shared faith and love for this coastline, we chose to celebrate our marriage at the Carmel Mission, a place that brings together both what we cherish most. Looking back, that February night near San Luis Obispo marked the beginning of everything. Just two hearts, the ocean, and a sky full of stars - what started as a quiet moment became the start of a forever we are so grateful to share.
