For the ceremony and reception the dress code is formal: suits and formal cocktail dresses or dressy pantsuits, tuxes and gowns are welcomed also. Ceremony location is a grassy setting: so ladies, reconsider stiletto heels for that location. Plus the extra pair of cute flats, jeweled slides, or comfortable heels will serve you well later on the dance floor.
If your invitation says “and Guest,” then yes, if not, we would prefer if it was just you. Unfortunately, all guests will not be afforded the opportunity to bring a plus one. This is also an invite only event. Thank you for your understanding.
Unfortunately, kids are invited with limitation. Kids that are invited will have their name(s) listed on the invitation or will be listed as "1 child" etc. If not, we ask that guest attendance is limited to invite only. However, kids are invited to the Liberian Traditional/Kweh-Kweh.
No, a shuttle is not available to take guests from hotel(s) to Our Ceremony. However, following Our Ceremony, a shuttle will be running from the ceremony location to the reception location. This service is available for those who plan on not driving for the day (i.e., taking Uber or Lyft). If you drive to the ceremony, we do not recommend leaving your vehicle at the ceremony location to take the shuttle to the reception as there will be no one to attend to vehicles at the ceremony location after we leave. Note: There will be one shuttle ride available to take a small group of guests from Our Reception back to the hotel location only. If you are interested in these details please contact the bride or groom.
Yes. Our wedding hashtags are #AFrasertale and #Given2Fraser. Please include these hashtags in social media posts from our wedding weekend. Looking forward to sharing these memories with our family and friends.
September in Atlanta Georgia and surrounding areas is beautiful. The nights get a little cooler but nothing a light cover up can't resolve. By the time you get off the dance floor, you will be looking forward to the cooling breeze of the September night.
African traditional ceremonies include the presentment of a dowry to the bride's family. In most Liberian traditional marriages, the dowry includes money and the breaking of kola nut. This ceremony brings the whole family together and allows each side to get to know each other. The Kweh Kweh is a celebration the night before the marriage ceremony of a couple and involves the singing of traditional songs, dancing, eating, and drinking. The festivity allows the two families the opportunity to become acquainted while they share marriage advice to the potential bride and groom. (However, ours is taking place two nights prior to the wedding.)
Traditional West African attire. Liberians refer to this form of clothing as lappa. Lappa is a colorful garment widely worn in West Africa by both men and women (it is also known as wax or Ankara). It has formal and informal versions and varies from simple draped clothing to fully tailored ensembles. The formality of the wrapper depends on the fabric used to create it. For our event we ask that African attire is formal/cocktail-style. Bride's side: may opt for fabric that is orange or orange based. Groom's side: may opt for fabric that is blue or blue based (e.g., black & blue, blue with green patterns, etc.).
