Question

When is the wedding date?

Answer

September 20th 2025 is the official day! Please ignore the "not actual date" on the first page!

Question

Do I need to RSVP?

Answer

Yes, please! We kindly ask that you RSVP by August 20 so we can plan accordingly. We truly hope you can join us, but if we don’t hear from you by then, we’ll assume you’re unable to attend and won’t be able to reserve a seat. Thank you for understanding — we can’t wait to celebrate with those who can be there! (please note that some of the invites got delayed if this happened to you please just message us and we'll adjust it!)

Question

When should I arrive?

Answer

We kindly ask that guests arrive at least 15 minutes early. The ceremony will begin promptly at 5:00 PM, and we want to ensure everyone is seated and settled before it starts. Please note that if you arrive after the ceremony has begun, we ask that you wait until the ceremony concludes to join us for the reception. Thank you for understanding!

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

We’ve thoughtfully created our guest list and have already included plus ones for those in long-term relationships or marriages. If your invitation includes a plus one, they’re already counted in—we can’t wait to see you both! Otherwise, we kindly ask that you come solo. Thank you so much for understanding and helping us keep the celebration intimate.

Question

What's the dress code?

Answer

The dress code for our wedding is semi-formal. We want everyone to feel comfortable while looking fantastic for our special day! Please note that we kindly ask guests to avoid wearing white, as that is reserved for the bride. Dressy cocktail attire, a nice suit, or an elegant dress would be perfect for this occasion. We can’t wait to see you there and celebrate together!

Question

Can we bring our kids?

Answer

Absolutely! We would love to have your little ones there to celebrate with us. We kindly ask that parents be responsible for their children throughout the day, ensuring they are respectful of the ceremony and reception. We want everyone to have a wonderful time, and your cooperation in making sure the day runs smoothly is greatly appreciated. Thank you for understanding, and we can't wait to celebrate with your entire family!

Question

Where will the ceremony take place?

Answer

The ceremony will be held at Memorial Baptist Church at 3455 N Glebe Rd, Arlington, VA 22207. We can't wait to celebrate this special moment with all of you there!

Question

Where will the reception be?

Answer

The reception will take place just outside the church, right after the ceremony. We'll be celebrating with dinner, dancing, and lots of love under the open sky!

Question

Do you have a wedding registry?

Answer

Yes! Details about our registry will be included in the invitations and on our wedding website.

Question

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

Answer

We love that you want to capture moments, but we kindly ask that no photos be taken during the ceremony. A photographer will be there to capture all the special moments. Feel free to take as many photos as you like during the reception!

Question

Is the wedding outdoor or indoor?

Answer

The ceremony will be indoors and the reception will be outdoors unless the weather says otherwise
