What is the weather like this time of year?

Answer

High 70s to low 80s until the evening when it will get cold, so we suggest you bring a coat. It could also be windy!

Question

Should I bring a gift to your wedding?

Answer

Since many of you are traveling for our wedding, making the trip is a gift in itself — physical gifts are absolutely not necessary! If you do choose to browse our wedding registry it will be found on the Registry portion of this website once available. Any items on the list can be shipped directly to our home address.

Question

Can I take pictures during the ceremony?

Answer

We kindly request an unplugged ceremony. Our professional photographer will be capturing the moment, so you can be present with us (and your phones won't make a cameo in our pictures).
