Through this wedding website. There will be no physically mailed RSVPs as I (the bride) don’t trust the mail.
October 15.
For sure! The theme is C.S Lewis’ The Chronicles of Narnia. The ceremony and reception will feature nods to this classic series. If you haven’t read through the books, now may be a great time to explore the world of Narnia!
The doors will open at 1:30pm in the chapel at Heritage Baptist Church. We recommend you come no later than 20 minutes before to get settled before the ceremony begins.
Yes! Dave and I will individually thank each guest for coming after the ceremony,
No. We will be having an unplugged ceremony. However, there will be a “photo minute” during the ceremony where you will be able to take as many pictures as you like!
Smart casual attire. Classy, but comfortable is what we’re going for. This means that nice, dark wash jeans with a blouse (for ladies) or a button-down shirt (for men) would be perfectly acceptable. Feel free to dress up a bit more if you like.
Yes! This will happen on Facebook! The ceremony will be live-streamed on my Facebook page. The link will be posted here shortly before the ceremony. If for any reason you cannot access the link, please let me know (AFTER Dec. 2). I will attempt to get you a copy of our official wedding video from our videographer.
If you are married or engaged, absolutely! If not, we’d love to celebrate with just you.
Yes! Children are welcome! Please be sure to include them in your RSVP.
Since our wedding is in December, we opted for warmth and chose to keep everything indoors.
In a fashion, yes! Dave and I are in our 30s and have lived independently for years, so we don’t need anything! However, we would love help with our honeymoon! Please see the registry page on this website for a variety of items you could gift us for our honeymoon!
Your presence is gift enough, but should you wish to give a gift, please choose something from the registry here on the website. We will not have a gift table at the wedding.
Yes! The Craddock Terry Hotel has reserved 10 rooms and more can be set aside if needed. The booking link is on the Travel page of this website!
While it’s highly unlikely that there will be snow or any concerning winter weather, it will likely still be chilly. We suggest dressing in layers to be comfortable indoors, but still warm outside (especially when going from the ceremony to the reception).
Yes! There is a large parking lot right next to the chapel at Heritage Baptist Church. The Craddock Terry Hotel also offers a lot in front of the hotel (for guests of the hotel), a lot across the street (that will be available for our reception guests), and abundant, free public parking surrounding the hotel if the lot across the street becomes full.
Yes! There are no stairs to get into the chapel. At the hotel, you will need to go in the main entrance and into the elevator in the other (connected) building. Hotel staff can direct you when you arrive.
As you may have noticed, Dave and I are doing some very non-traditional, novel things. One of these is a lack of dancing. Neither of us know how to dance or particularly enjoy it, but we love games! So, we will be playing games at the reception! This will give us a lot more time to interact with our guests and is just more “us” anyway! We hope you will come and play a game with us!
We will be offering a fun and exciting lineup of games: Uno, Dominos, Blank Slate, Apples to Apples, Sushi Go, and a History Trivia game. Dave and I will be playing each game throughout the evening with you all! Participants will spend around 25 minutes at each game before swapping. There will be a five minute break between games to grab some food and/or refreshment. You will have the opportunity during breaks to swap games if you would like, but only Dave and I will definitely be moving. This will likely be very different from previous wedding receptions you’ve been to, so be sure to come with a fun and (slightly) competitive spirit!
No. Dave and I do not drink, so it will not be part of our wedding day.
Right around 10:00 pm.
There will be a charcuterie during the intermezzo (appetizer hour). Dinner will be catered by Noodles and Company and will include a macaroni and cheese bar, caesar salad, and a delicious gluten free option. Dessert will be an ice cream bar! There will be no cake cutting.
Please text me (the bride) at 817-526-2118 no later than November 1.
