FAQs
Question
The FAQ doesn't answer my question, who do I ask?
Answer
Ask Jake and Jul at 4699121050!
Question
Since you're already married, are you having a ceremony?
Answer
Yes! It was important to us to have our loved ones present to witness our vows. We’re treating this ceremony as a vow renewal, where you’ll hear our original vows along with a few additions after a year and a half of marriage.
Question
Why did you elope?
Answer
With our work schedules, we would have had to choose between a long engagement or a quickly planned, impersonal wedding- neither felt right to us. Eloping allowed us to start our lives together sooner while still giving us the time and space to plan the celebration we truly wanted.

The dress code is formal attire. We invite guests to dress in their best—think cocktail dresses, floor-length gowns, dressy jumpsuits, suits, or tuxedos. Suits with ties are perfect, and tuxedos are welcome. Since parts of the event will be held outdoors on the lawn, we recommend footwear that’s comfortable and appropriate for grass.
