◼︎ Unless otherwise specified on the invitation, we did not include plus-ones in our guest list. You can double-check by typing your name into the RSVP form - if another name appears under your invitation, then a plus-one was included. If not, your RSVP is set for just you. We truly appreciate your understanding as we worked to keep the guest list intimate.
◼︎ We kindly ask that you refrain from taking photos or videos during the ceremony. We're having an unplugged ceremony and have thoughtfully invested in professional photographers and videographers who will capture everything beautifully. You're more than welcome to take photos and videos throughout the rest of the day but during the ceremony, we ask that you simply be present and help us preserve the intimacy of that moment. It’s just 30 minutes, and it means a lot to us. Thank you for understanding.
◼︎Everything will be taking place indoors.

◼︎ We’re not planning any pre-wedding events like an ice breaker or welcome party the day before. However, we might arrange a casual breakfast the morning after the wedding for anyone who’s still in town. If that happens, we’ll share the details on Instagram and WhatsApp - so stay tuned there for any last-minute updates.
◼︎ Thank you so much for thinking of us! We’ve been together for almost seven years and already have most of what we need in our home, so we’re not doing a traditional registry. Instead, we’ve created a small collection of funds that reflect things we’re saving toward, or activities we can experience together - this felt like the most meaningful option for us. Of course, gifts are never expected, but if you feel compelled to give something, we won’t say no. If you're looking for ideas, we love thoughtful, lasting items - plants, vinyl , personalized keepsakes, or anything that helps us elevate our space. (We’re big fans of Crate & Barrel, Williams Sonoma, All-Clad, and sustainable options that avoid single-use plastic.) Thanks again for your generosity and love - it truly means the world to us.
◼︎ This will be an adults-only event. We’ve chosen to keep the celebration limited to grown-ups with the exception of a few guests under the legal drinking age, who will not be served alcohol. We kindly ask that all guests respect this boundary.
◼︎ Yes, there is parking available. Security will be on-site to guide you to the designated lot, which is located about a block from the venue. At that time, they’ll also confirm your name on the guest list before entry. ◼︎Seventh-Day Adventist Church: 1001 E Third St, Long Beach, CA 90802
◼︎ Doors open at 4:30 PM. Since our ceremony begins promptly at 5:30 PM, we ask that you arrive no later than 5:00 PM. Please plan to be seated and ready before the ceremony starts.
◼︎ We wouldn't invite you to a wedding without one. Absolutely! Drinks are free all night.
