Friday 10 October 2025 19710 E Vía Del Palo, Queen Creek, AZ 85142 Gathering starts at 5 pm Ceremony starts at 6 pm Potluck to follow Clear out by 10 pm
Our wedding is located conveniently in one of Alex's favorite places: His uncles backyard. We wanted a place with trees and somewhere the majority of the guests wouldn't have issues reaching. We wanted inexpensive, and we wanted it to look nice. We think we chose well. Everybody needs to thank Alex's Uncle Imre for breaking his back fixing up the area - we don't think we really understood exactly how much work we were asking him to do at the time and we greatly appreciate his time, effort, and willingness to let us host our wedding in his yard.
💥📸 YOU are our only source of photography! Please Take Photos! 📸💥 Did you know that the average cost in 2025 for a photographer for a wedding is $4,000 - $6,000?!?! That's absolutely bonkers for a one-day event as far as we're concerned. While we ARE planning to get a professional photo done of us in our wedding attire at some point after the wedding, there will be NO professional photos of the wedding. If you don't take any photos then there will not be any photos of the wedding, so Please take photos! It's okay if you think they're bad, the memories are what's important, not how good a photographer you are! ❤️ After the wedding we will set up a link for you to upload your photos to so everyone's photos are all in one place!
Comfortable semi-formal attire Formal-formal attire NOT required Katie and Alex will be dressing in something resembling traditional wedding attire; our guests will not be held to the same standard. We would appreciate not being the only people dressed up, but frankly as long as nobody is dressed how Alex usually is we'll probably be okay with it. The "venu" as it were, is indoor/outdoor, but the actual ceremony will be held outdoors. Arizona is still quite hot in October. "The average temperature in Queen Creek in October for a typical day ranges from a high of 89°F (32°C) to a low of 61°F (16°C)." according to Google. Please dress accordingly.
Its a potluck! Alex and Katie have a few specific food requests from a few specific people that you can find in the Potluck Please Bring tab. If a specific request isn't made of you food wise then bring your favorite food. Or desert. whatever, we don't judge.
We are, in fact, getting married. Chances are you are about as surprised about it as we were when we each came to our realizations that we wanted marriage. What can we say, neither of us are exactly social butterflies and our uses of social media could be described as infrequent at best. Frankly with the number of times we joked about eloping early in our relationship you should be happy you are learning about the marriage before it happens.
We're opting to do a non-traditional wedding registry! Normally, a wedding registry is so that the new couple who had previously been living at home could get the items they need to start their new life together in a place that has nothing. Quite frankly, most of you have helped us move, you know as well as we do that we have Enough Stuff. Instead, what we'd like from you can fit into one of three categories: 1 Experiences WITH You Take us out somewhere or to dinner or an event so we get more memories together 2 Our House Is Falling Apart We have a HUGE list of projects that we could use help with and if you could help us out sometime, that'd be Amazing! If you're interested in this one, let Katie or Alex know and we'll chat with you about what we need help with doing! 3 Your Presence Is A Present If travel is difficult for you for any reason and you manage to show up at the wedding, we're just happy you could make it, you've done enough just being here for us ❤️
The home page should have a countdown timer that tells you how long till the specific day, that day being Friday, October 10th. Yes its a Friday. Yes we recognize that it being a Friday is potentially inconvenient. Yes, we recognize that this is incredibly short notice. We apologize for all of the above and offer no excuses. We're both a bit of a mess, so we have piles of unwritten save-the-dates and physical invitations that we intended to have written and sent out six months to a year ago. At this point, we figured some warning would be better than no warning, so here we are.
No. We lack the funds to do something so extravagant as renting hotel rooms. If you want to travel for the wedding, you are on your own for lodging.
That isn't a question, and that's okay. We fully understand how inconsiderate we've been by not doing the pile of things we should have done months ago regarding this wedding. Two individuals with ADHD getting married has its downsides, and this is one of them. Not being able to attend at this point is more of our fault than anybody else's, so if you can't attend we've only ourselves to blame. That being said: We will be having a live-stream of the ceremony! If you would like access to the live-stream, please reach out to Alex or Katie and we will help you get set up. ❤️
Arriving late is totally acceptable! We tried to pick a time when we thought most people would be off of work, but we totally understand if you have to be late so you don't get fired! Katie wants at least one dance out of Alex and a dance out of her father. Alex would very much like to not be the only couple dancing, so please tolerate at least a couple dances. Don't mind the skeleton. He's friendly. There will be no seating charts. If any of you hooligans light Imi's yard on fire because you set off explosives, fireworks, sparklers, or otherwise there Will be hell to pay. Is there another reason for this wedding? Should we be expecting a miracle baby perhaps?? Nope! While there Eventually will be babies in our future, no shotgun wedding for us. The lack of notice is purely because we're both ADHD disaster gremlins with house problems and a car that had gotten totaled, not for any additional reasons.
