Please don’t feel obligated to contribute, but if you choose to, we are truly grateful! If you prefer to send a card instead of bringing it with you, please mail it to our home at: 333 Lancaster Road, Lunenburg, VT 05906.

Yes! As of right now, on Friday evening, we will be "hosting" an informal dinner at BB's Tex-Orleans. This is for anyone arriving on Friday who would like to join others from the event for dinner. Please note that this is an informal gathering and not part of the official wedding festivities, so feel free to do your own thing if you prefer. Important details: Location: BB's Tex-Orleans is just a 5-minute walk from the hotel, in the shopping plaza directly behind it, or a 2-minute car ride. 21441 Tomball Pkwy, Houston, TX 77070. Seating: We will be seated in a covered outdoor patio area. Food & Drinks: They have a full bar, and their food is amazing—personally tested by Joe and myself! 😉 Payment: Since this isn't part of the wedding, everyone will be responsible for covering their own tabs. An 18% gratuity will be added to each tab, so please don't feel obligated to leave additional tips unless you feel moved to do so. We hope to see you there, but no pressure if you have other plans!
