Question

So you're not having a ceremony?

Answer

Well, we are but you're not invited 😜 Because we have applied for the K1 visa, we have to get married within 90 days of Alex's arrival in the U.S. So, we plan to head to our local courthouse in Summer/Fall 2024. That means you'll be joining us for a cocktail hour and reception in 2025!

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Yes! The dress code is "Black Tie Optional." This means you can go for full-on formal attire if you like, but you're also welcome to opt for a more relaxed yet stylish look. Think tuxedos and evening gowns if you're feeling fancy, but a sharp suit or a classy cocktail dress works just as well. Bottom line: Dress to impress, whether it's black tie glam or a touch more laid-back!

Question

Can I bring a plus one/guest?
