How We Met

10.01.21

Ryan and Chandler met on Hinge the Fall of 2021. After talking on the phone a few times before actually meeting in person, their first date was on a Friday night at Bowen House in Dallas, a victorian-style cocktail bar in a vintage house. After quickly connecting, Ryan and Chandler had a series of dinner dates, a trip to the Dallas State Fair and concerts to get to know one another. While the relationship was made official November 2nd, what truly solidified things, was when Chandler caught a strain of strep so bad, it required hospital attention, and Ryan was there for her first surgery and calmed the nerves of her parents in Denver. Mind you, this was three days after Ryan asked Chandler to be his girlfriend. After that experience, the relationship was a sure sign of one to last a lifetime!

The Proposal

6.10.23

Flash forward to the proposal. Ryan sent Chandler an invite to an “IBM HPC Reception”, claiming to have a work event on Saturday, June 2nd at the Dallas Arboretum at 4:30pm in cocktail attire. Ryan left no stone unturned - painted Chandler’s nails the night before, hired a photographer, and coordinated the entire family to be flown in for the proposal. What a fun surprise to not meet Ryan’s boss & coworkers, but instead, gather with family and friends to celebrate a lifetime of happiness! Ryan and Chandler look forward to celebrating with family and friends, near and far on their special day. Thank you to all that make the effort to travel to Texas to witness the marriage of Ryan and Chandler. The families look forward to having guests have a wonderful Dallas-Fort Worth experience to commemorate a love born in Texas and here to stay for a while! Cheers to The Chandlers!

FAQs

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes, the venue has plenty of complimentary parking for guests driving.

Question

What color are the bridesmaids wearing?

Answer

All of the bridesmaids will be wearing black dresses.

Question

Can I bring a guest?

Answer

If your guest’s name is listed on your invite and when you RSVP, then yes! Otherwise, we would love to keep the wedding as an intimate event with close friends and family.

Question

Will the ceremony and reception be indoor?

Answer

Yes, both the ceremony and the reception will be indoor. Cocktail hour will be open up for both indoor and outdoor celebrations on the property.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

We love your children, but we’ve decided to have an adults-only wedding. If you are traveling from out of town, we would be happy to help provide recommendations for local childcare options. We’re excited to celebrate with you and hope you enjoy a parent’s night out!

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

The dress code is black tie preferred. This means that you should wear the nicest clothing you have access to. If you don’t already have a tuxedo or a floor length gown, a nice long or mid length cocktail dress or a suit is perfectly acceptable.

Question

Can I take pictures?

Answer

We are having an “unplugged” ceremony. This just means we are asking that all phones and devices be put away and on silent/turned off during the ceremony. Why? Well, we’ve hired a professional to capture some of the most important moments of our lives, and we’d hate to have a well-meaning person’s phone blocking that moment for them to capture. After the ceremony, feel free to take as many photos as you want! And we promise to share the ceremony photos as soon as we get them!

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

Yes, the drinks are on us! Please drink responsibly!

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

Yes, we’re registered through Zola.
