FAQs

Our wedding ceremony and reception will be outdoors. We will have a tent in case of rain. Food will be served indoors with dining outdoors.

We ask that you wear semi-formal or "dressy casual". For men, this includes khakis or slacks, button-up shirts, and sports jackets are optional. For women, this includes jumpsuit, slacks, dress blouse, or dresses. It will be Summer in Alabama and that means HOTT so dress to stay cool, but decent.
