We invite you to RSVP online using the RSVP tab.
At this time no date has been set. This will be updated when formal invites are sent out.
RSVPing by the marked date is necessary as this is how our vendors get a final guest count. Unfortunately, if you don't RSVP by the deadline we will miss having you celebrate with us on our special day.
We cannot accept any verbal RSVPs. We have so many things going on in our day-to-day lives that chances are we would forget that someone verbally RSVPed. We have made RSVPing easy by making it available online. If you are electronically challenged please get someone to help you RSVP online using a computer, tablet, or cell phone.
Please let us know as soon as possible if you are not coming to our wedding. If you have RSVPed yes it is crucial to let us know of a change of plans as soon as you know.
You will be talked about by everybody at the wedding. You will be talked about by everybody after the wedding. It will be known that you chose not to show up just to not show up. If you believe that this will be you, then please RSVP NO. Please don't be this person.
If you're plus one or significant other has originally RSVPed yes and for unfortunate/unforeseen circumstances is no longer able to attend please get in contact with us as soon as you find out so we can make changes to our final numbers. We hope to still see YOU there on our special day despite your partner being unable to attend.

Nashville and the surrounding areas are typically in the low 70's too mid 80's by the end of May. We do however still recommend consulting the local weather forecasting maps as the week of the wedding approaches.
Our ceremony area is a covered pavilion that has electronic sunshades that come down to help guard against the elements. However if the weather becomes too bad to continue outside the ceremony and cocktail hour will be moved into the reception area.
We are having a non-traditional guest book! We have chose to use After The Tone to capture our guest's voices of well wishes on our big day. Just like love, there’s something sacred and eternal about someone’s voice. The frequencies and the vibes take you straight to them, even if they’re far away. After The Tone's phones serve as the vessel to the voicemails that take you back to them forever. Landline telephones may be a thing of the past for some, but not at After The Tone! The vintage phone used for our audio guestbook experience is 100% real, thoroughly refurbished, and repurposed. Even aesthetically, the color of the phone matches the exact shades from the 60s, 70s and 80s. You just pick up the phone and leave your message at the tone. We encourage all our guests to leave as many messages as they want as the phone will move from place to place through out the wedding.
1. "So how much did this all cost?": Let's save the budget breakdown questions for another day. The cost of the celebration is not what matters on the wedding day. Everyone should be there to celebrate the bride and groom. 2. "This is beautiful but I wouldn't have spent this kind of money on a wedding, I would have used it towards a downpayment on a house!": Thanks, we think our wedding is beautiful also and it's exactly what WE wanted! Sure, investing is great, but spending on what brings joy is also just as valid. 3. "You know it would have been cool if you did x,y,z instead!": The couple created a day that's exactly what they wanted, and that's what makes it perfect. We hope at your wedding that you'll be able to do x,y,z instead of what we did. 4. "Are you ready for this to finally be over?": Wedding planning can be a lot and even stressful at times. But it's also a special joyful journey with lots of fun moments and excitement. Statistically many couples actually end up having wedding blues afterwards due to missing the buildup of excitement that wedding planning brings. So, let's do our best to help the bride and groom savor this moment instead of looking past it. 5. "So when are you going to start having kids". This is incredibly inappropriate in todays climate to ask anyone. It's best to keep any and all baby questions to yourself.
First, we ask that you TRIPLE CHECK that your question is not already listed on this FAQ. If it's not or you feel as though you still need clarification: PRIOR to the week of the wedding please call or text 662-607-9987 (THE BRIDE). Please be patient with the Bride as responses may be slow due to her demanding career. DURING the week/day of the wedding please call 901-848-8278 (Mother of The Groom) or 304-531-1355 (Mother of The bride). DO NOT: contact the Groom; he's just going to ask the Bride. "But I'm the grooms family"; I mean.. be my guest but he's still gonna be asking the bride. If you think asking the groom might be better cause "he might say yes to this really ridiculous question"... No he won't. DO NOT: contact either the father of the bride or the father of the groom. Respectfully, THEY KNOWN NOTHING.
