Joseph & Michael's Wedding
Schedule
Saturday, August 30, 2025
Rehearsal
12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
18 Whitlock Ave NW, Marietta, GA 30064
Fancy Casual Attire: Look cute, nice jeans are fine, and collar shirt/blouse suggested.
Before the big day, The Fellowship must gather for a noble quest: mastering the sacred art of walking in a straight line. That’s right—it’s rehearsal time! We’ll meet at the Historic Boxwood Social Hall, a charming 1901 carriage house that’s now our enchanted venue for the ceremony and reception. It’s got vintage vibes, exposed brick, and just enough grandeur to make you feel like you’re starring in a period drama (minus the corsets). This rehearsal is just for our wedding party—our brave, beautiful band of celebrants—so we can run through the ceremony, practice our aisle struts, and make sure everyone knows when to walk, where to stand, and how not to trip. After we’ve nailed the choreography (or at least faked it convincingly), we’ll head to our house for the rehearsal dinner bash. Hawaiian food, backyard games, and general merriment await!
Rehearsal Lunch
2:00 pm - 6:00 pm
1752 Oak Haven Dr SW, Marietta, GA 30008
Casual Attire: Anything goes, from sundresses and sandals to jeans and tees.
Before we say “I do,” we’re saying “Let’s eat, laugh, and throw things at targets!” Join us for a laid-back evening of Hawaiian cuisine, backyard games, and quality time with our nearest and dearest—aka Ohana (family) and The Fellowship (yes, we named our wedding party after Tolkien’s finest, and yes, there will be zero orcs). Expect tropical flavors, tiki vibes, and a fierce cornhole rivalry. Bocce ball and croquet will also be in play, so bring your competitive spirit and your best lawn game swagger. No formalwear required—just come comfy, festive, and ready to celebrate! This night is all about gratitude, giggles, and gearing up for the big day. We can’t wait to kick off the wedding weekend with you!
Sunday, August 31, 2025
Ceremony
2:30 pm - 3:00 pm
18 Whitlock Ave NW, Marietta, GA 30064
Cocktail Attire: Wear floral prints, cocktail dresses, LBDs, dressy jumpsuits, and dress shirt, slacks/dress jeans.
This is it—the moment we make it official, surrounded by love, laughter, and the charm of history. Our ceremony will take place at the beautifully restored Boxwood Social Hall, a 1901 carriage house full of character and warmth. We’ve poured our hearts into this day, and we can’t wait to share it with you. Expect some happy tears, plenty of smiles, and vows that mean the world to us. Attire is Cocktail: Think floral prints, cocktail dresses, little black dresses, dressy jumpsuits, or dress shirts with slacks or dark jeans. Come dressed to impress and ready to witness something truly special—two grooms, one love story, and the beginning of our forever.
Cocktails & Reception
3:00 pm - 7:00 pm
18 Whitlock Ave NW, Marietta, GA 30064
Cocktail Attire: Wear floral prints, cocktail dresses, little black dresses, dressy jumpsuits, and dress shirt, slacks/dress jeans.
After we say “I do,” the real adventure begins. 3:00–4:00 PM – Cocktail Hour. While The Fellowship (our wedding party) and we sneak off like Jedi for photos, you’ll be sipping drinks from Jake and Hannah—bartenders with the charm of Han Solo and the aim of Legolas. Mingle, relax, and enjoy the vintage vibes. 4:00 PM – Grand Entrance. We’ll return with our crew, ready for cheers, claps, and maybe a few emotional gasps. Think “Return of the King,” minus the armor. Cal’s Kitchen is serving a feast worthy of a Hobbit’s birthday. Grab a plate, raise a glass, and toast like you’re in the Mos Eisley Cantina—no bounty hunters allowed. Then it’s time to dance like you’re at the Prancing Pony. We’ll wrap up with Nothing Bunt cake, because even Jedi need dessert. We can’t wait to celebrate with you. Come hungry, come happy, and may the snacks be with you.
After Party - Johnnie MacCracken’s Celtic Firehouse Pub
6:00 pm
15 Atlanta Street Southeast, Marietta, GA 30060
Once the vows are sealed and the galaxy is safe (for now), we’ll regroup at Johnnie MacCracken’s—an Irish stronghold worthy of Mike’s heritage. Raise a glass like you’ve just blown up the Death Star. Kilts welcome, lightsabers optional.
After-After Party: Lore Atlanta
Sun, Aug 31, 2025, 9:15 pm - Mon, Sep 1, 2025, 2:00 am
The night doesn’t end until the queens take the stage. Join us at Lore Atlanta for a drag show that’s more fabulous than a royal Naboo wardrobe change. Expect fierce performances, strong drinks, and the kind of joy that can’t be contained in one galaxy.
