Join us to celebrate our marriage! Our ceremony and reception will both be at the NC Botanical Gardens. The gardens close to the public at 5pm, so this is a special opportunity to experience them after hours! With this, please make sure to arrive between 5:00pm and 5:15pm to make sure you are seated for when the ceremony begins. There is ample parking available, and you are welcome to uber home and leave your car at the gardens overnight to pick up during our farewell brunch Sunday morning. The parking area is enclosed within the gardens and gated. The wedding party will be wearing colors of dark greens and browns.
10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Ultra-Casual
Optional Event: Drop in for a casual brunch to say goodbye and enjoy small bites in the picnic area of the gardens. We will have fruit and some of the finest bagels in town available to snack on! We didn't want to leave without saying goodbye, and while we might not feel 100%, we wanted to give one last opportunity for a hug before everyone travels across the world. Feel free to drop in/out as you please and come in the clothes you plan to travel in as we close out the last day of our wedding weekend! P.S. We understand if you can't make it, especially if there was an after party on Franklin St. ;)
