🖤 Black Tie 🖤 We’d love for everyone to dress up and celebrate with us in style! Gentlemen, please wear suits and ties (tuxedos are welcome!), and ladies, we kindly ask for elegant, floor-length gowns. To keep our color scheme cohesive, we also kindly ask that guests avoid wearing lighter shades like ivory, white, or champagne. Thank you for helping us make the day look as beautiful as it feels!
Please arrive promptly at 1:30 PM, as our Crowning Ceremony will be attended by multiple Priests, and we want to honor their time. Thank you for your consideration!
We love your little ones, but we kindly ask that our wedding remain an adults-only celebration—including both the ceremony and reception. Thank you for your understanding, and we can’t wait to celebrate with you!
Due to limited seating, plus ones are by invitation only. If a guest is welcome to bring a plus one, it will be clearly stated on their individual invitation. We appreciate your understanding!
Please RSVP by September 1st, 2025.
