Surprise! We're married!
Yes, we tied the knot! In a twist as sunny as a San Diego afternoon, we eloped! In an intimate 'ceremony' (over margaritas and queso) we signed the papers and started our forever. But it wouldn't be complete without you, our favorite people. So, we're throwing a party to share our joy and surprise!
Oh, and We're Moving!
We are also setting sail for a new chapter in San Diego, California. That's right, we're trading RVA's cobblestone charm for San Diego's sunshine (and endless supply of good beer). But before we go, let's make memories that will travel with us to the coast.
Let's Celebrate!
As we pack our bags for new adventures in the Golden State, there's something incredibly special we need before we go -- a day to celebrate with you, our beloved friends and family. We can't wait to celebrate this double dose of happiness with you!
You're Invited!

On Sunday afternoon, we plan on meeting up with some friends at Upper Shirley Vineyards around 1pm'ish, which is about 20 minutes from downtown Richmond.

Question
I think you will love this gift, can I bring it?

Please don't! Your presence and well wishes are the greatest gifts of all! Since we're moving across the country, we've decided to forgo physical gifts at our celebration. We can't wait to celebrate with you!
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
We’re aiming for a ‘summer cocktail party’ vibe. Feel free to interpret this in a way that best suits your personal style. Comfort is key, so wear something you feel fantastic in. Think dressy but relaxed—it's not a funeral! We're saving those event for later.
