Brewskis in Downtown
6:00 pm
Casual and comfortable. Come as you are — travel-worn, cheerful, and ready to celebrate.
On the eve of our wedding, as the sun lowers and anticipation fills the air, we invite you to join us in downtown for a casual gathering of good cheer and cold brew. There will be no formal program — only laughter, familiar faces, and the happy hum of friends arriving from near and far. Come raise a glass with us, share stories, and begin the celebration in relaxed fellowship before the great day dawns. Whether you stay for a single toast or linger long into the evening, your company will mean more to us than words can say.

The Ceremony at Belle Farm
5:00 pm
2124 US-70, Morganton, NC 28655
You are cordially invited to gather with us at Belle Farm for a semi-formal outdoor wedding ceremony, set upon the open hayfield beneath the Carolina sky. We kindly ask that guests dress with elegance and comfort in mind, selecting footwear suitable for grass and natural terrain. Military guests are warmly invited to attend in service or mess dress, with the groom wearing his mess dress in honor of the occasion.
It is our deepest joy and privilege to be surrounded by those who have shaped our lives and strengthened our journey. Your presence on this most sacred and meaningful day is a gift beyond measure. We are profoundly grateful to celebrate our union in your company and to begin this new chapter before the witnesses we hold most dear.
The Feast & Revelry
6:00 pm
As the sun sets and the celebration begins, join us for a relaxed and magical evening. Feel free to shed your layers, go barefoot in the grass, and celebrate with us.
Following the ceremony, please join us on the hayfield for cocktail hour while we sneak away for photos. Enjoy drinks, conversation, and the beautiful setting as the celebration continues. Dinner will be served buffet-style featuring a BBQ feast, followed by the time-honored dances that mark the beginning of married life. May laughter ring freely, glasses be raised often, and the evening unfold in warmth as we celebrate together.
The Fireside Merriment
8:00 pm
When the formalities fade, we invite you to grow comfortable — loosen your ties, shed your jackets, trade your fine shoes for boots or bare feet in the grass. The night is meant for warmth, laughter, and unguarded joy.
Bonfires will be lit, ribbons drawn from the bridal bouquet in playful tradition, and games and music shared among friends. For those bold of spirit, songs may be sung in merry karaoke, and dancing shall carry on beneath the lantern glow. Stay as long as your heart desires. Let us end this wedding day not in haste, but in firelight and fellowship — as all good tales do — with happiness, laughter, and those we hold most dear.

The Morning Ascent
8:00 am - 10:00 am
Pineola Road, Linville, NC 28646
Dress for comfort and adventure. Sturdy walking shoes or hiking boots are strongly recommended, as the trail includes uneven ground and uphill stretches. Light layers are wise for the cool morning air, and a water bottle is encouraged.
On the dawn of our first morning as husband and wife, we invite you to join us for a gentle woodland journey to Harper Creek Falls. We will greet the morning light beneath towering trees and wander together along the forest path to the graceful cascade of the falls — a soothing, scenic way to begin the day after celebration. Whether you choose to walk the whole trail or simply accompany us for a portion, your presence will add joy to this peaceful mountain morn. Come walk with us if your spirit is willing — there is no finer way to begin a marriage than with fresh air, good company, and the quiet beauty of the mountains.
The Farewell Brunch
11:00 am
810 East Union Street, Morganton, NC 28655
Come as you are — refreshed from the hike or rested from a leisurely morning. Casual, comfortable attire is perfectly suited for this gathering.
After the morning’s adventure, we gather once more for a farewell brunch. Join us for a relaxed and cheerful meal as we share stories from the night before, laugh together, and savor a few final hours in one another’s company before departures begin. Your presence throughout this wedding weekend has been the greatest gift. We look forward to closing our celebration gathered around the table with those we hold most dear.
