We're looking forward to celebrating with you! Please note this is a FRAGRANCE-FREE wedding. See FAQ's for more information.
The bride and groom met the only way people seem to these days: online. Both looking for a serious partner, Doug and Meg joined Match.com. Meg had only been on the site for one week when she received a message from Doug introducing himself. Within the first conversation, Doug recognized Meg but couldn't place her. With a little more sleuthing, the couple determined that Doug had gone to college with Meg's brother, Evan. When Evan was told, he was thrilled! "I love Doug!". Meg and Doug messaged each other back and forth for one week before agreeing to meet. From there, the rest is history. One year and half of dating, tons of laughter, more love than they thought possible, and a lifetime ahead of them!

Some of the bride's family is severely allergic to fragrance and other chemicals. Unfortunately, fragrance is found in almost everything these days. Therefore, on the day of the wedding, we kindly ask that you refrain from using scented lotions, hairsprays, perfumes, essential oils, after shave, cologne, and other scented personal products. Another large contender for fragrance is laundry detergents. While we are not asking you to change your entire laundry system, we kindly recommend that you do not use additional chemicals, such as fragrance beads or softener, on the clothes you plan to wear to our big day. We understand this is a large ask. However, it is important to the bride and groom that everyone in their immediate family attend their wedding.
Easy Peasy! The bride has curated an Amazon list of unscented or fragrance free personal products. See link below: https://bit.ly/44eUDnY

Yes! While we respect those who hold child-free events, we have too many kiddos in our lives to follow the same societal trend. Children are welcome at all ages and will hopefully find plenty of age-appropriate entertainment available!
