Question

IMPORTANT!!!

Answer

Our bride is shaking things up — she'll be trading tradition for a stunning black dress. So consider this your formal permission slip to dust off that white dress hanging in your closet! We only ask one small favor: since black is the bride's color for the day, we'd love for her to stand out in the crowd. So if you were planning to wear a black dress, this is the universe nudging you toward something different — and we promise you'll have just as much fun in it.

Question

What's the dress code?

Answer

Semi-Formal Attire Only We’re going full fancy for this one — think suits, gowns, and outfits that make you say “wow, I should really dress like this more often.” Please arrive looking sharp, elegant, and ready for photos your future self will thank you for. That said… Once the reception kicks in, we fully expect some articles of clothing to be strategically removed in the name of dancing and comfort. Jackets, heels, ties — consider them optional.

Question

How did you two meet?

Answer

You know how patrons usually aren’t supposed to hit on their bartenders? Plot twist: this time the bartender struck first. Ally was holding down the fort at Seaboard Wine Bar in Matthews, NC — a place Mitch frequented for Monday trivia, questionable life choices, and the occasional glass of wine he pretended to understand. What began as her expertly roasting him from behind the bar somehow snowballed into a full‑blown relationship. Truly an enemies‑to‑lovers classic, if the enemies were armed with wine keys and sarcasm.

Question

Are kids invited?

Answer

While we love your kiddos, this particular adventure is adults‑only. Consider it a rare, glorious night where no one has to cut anyone else’s chicken nuggets.

Question

Can I take pictures during the ceremony?

Answer

For the ceremony, we kindly ask that everyone keep their phones tucked away and just enjoy the moment with us. Don’t worry — we hired an elite squad of professional photographers whose sole mission is to make us look fabulous. They’ve got it covered. (But once the reception hits? Go wild. Take all the photos, videos, and slightly‑chaotic dance‑floor content your heart desires.)

Question

Is it an open bar?

Answer

Yes, it’s an open bar. Please hydrate, pace yourselves, and remember that while the bartenders are trained professionals… many of you have been rigorously preparing for this moment through years of beer olympics, bar crawls, and those chaotic weekend nights you can't fully explain.
