Just a heads up... our venue is on one of only two main roads south towards the Delaware beaches on the weekend before Labor Day. This means that traffic could be pretty rough, especially if you're coming south from PA. Make sure you give yourself extra travel time!

Bonus Photos
We are lucky enough to have a professional photographer for a sister (Elle, we're looking at you!), so please enjoy some very high quality photos of our engagement (skydiving!), and then a more formal shoot at Valley Forge.
Also, shameless plug, if you like what you see here, follow Elle's business pages on Facebook and Instagram at @flatridgephotography.
Phil was very sneaky... this moment was a complete surprise!
Phil knew to look for our photographer on the ground while he was landing!
What a view!
It may look like Layna is looking at the camera, but she still had no idea that anything special was going on! (Aside from the obvious falling out of the sky thing...)
This is Gina. She is our waitress at First Watch, the brunch place that we go to quite often.
She has an affinity for driving too fast and colorful language, and we love chatting with her!
One thing we really love to do is to have a craft beer together!
If you know either of us, I doubt this photo is very surprising!
"I feel like I look like a tree or something?"
