Our wedding will be inspired by the theme of a fairy tale, reminiscent of the romantic charm in Taylor Swift’s “Love Story”. The color scheme for our special day will feature light lavender and light sage green, reflecting the gentle and serene nature of our love. We look forward to sharing this magical day with you.
To complement our dressy theme, we’re excited to have a photobooth and a guest photographer set up at a designated location during the reception. Guests will need to visit this station to capture their glamorous looks! If you’ve ever wanted professional pictures of you and your date, this will be a fantastic opportunity to get them! The photographer will be available for two hours, and there will be a web gallery where you can download digital photos and order prints if you wish. Please be sure to check the itinerary board for the photographer’s start time so you don’t miss out!
Yes, our ceremony will be unplugged. An unplugged ceremony is a special time where we ask our guests to be fully present and enjoy the moment with us. We kindly request that all phones, cameras, and other devices be turned off and put away during the ceremony. We want to create a more intimate and meaningful experience for everyone. By being fully present, you can truly share in the joy and love of our special day. Plus, we have a professional photographer capturing all the beautiful moments, so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the ceremony. Please turn off all devices before the ceremony begins. Our officiant will also make a brief announcement to remind everyone. Once the ceremony is over, feel free to take as many photos and videos as you like during the reception and other festivities. We’d love for you to share your memories using our wedding hashtag #HappilyEverMartin.

We have decided not to create a traditional gift registry. Instead, we’ve opted for a honeymoon fund. Since we’ve been living together and need to keep things light for our travels, we would greatly appreciate contributions to our honeymoon fund to help us create beautiful memories. 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. Given our travel schedule, this will be the best place to receive cards by mail.

We will provide more details on this as we get closer to the wedding date.
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!
