Can I bring a date?

Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
We adore your little ones, but we’ve decided to make our wedding and reception an adults-only celebration (with a few exceptions). We hope you can enjoy the evening as a well-deserved date night!
Question
What is the attire?
Answer
We'd love to see our family and friends dress up with us! So, we are requesting that all of our guests dress in semi-formal attire. Please, no denim, khaki, or dresses in shades of white, ivory or cream. The ceremony will be held outdoors on grass, so please keep this in mind when selecting your footwear. Thank you!
