In July 2026, we’ll be gathering in the countryside of southern France to celebrate our wedding and Justin’s 50th birthday. This will be an outdoor, relaxed week at a rural domaine in the Languedoc region. Think long tables, food trucks, wine, swimming, wandering, and dancing as the sun sets. We'll have a wedding ceremony on Wednesday and the birthday party on Friday. You are welcome to stay the week or come to one or both events. Because this is a destination wedding in a rural area, travel takes a little planning. We’ve organized this website to make everything simple and clear (we hope!). We will also update these pages to reflect changes or additional information as it emerges. If you can make it, we will be delighted to have you! If not, we totally understand, we'll have a state-side wedding in August as well. Details to follow on that :) Here’s how to use this website: • Schedule - Weekend timing and what to expect • Travel - Airports, car rentals, and step-by-step directions • FAQ - Practical questions about weather, attire, kids, etc. • RSVP - Let us know your plans as soon as you can! If at any point something feels unclear, email/text us directly. We’re happy to help you think through logistics. We know traveling internationally is an effort. If you’re able to join us, we will be deeply grateful to gather with you. With love, Justin & Kari
