Question

What is the dress code/ preferred attire?

Answer

For our special day, we are encouraging guests to GO ALL OUT!!!! We're talkin color, texture, shapes, objects, glitz, glam, you name it! One of the things that connects us as a couple is our joy for dressing bold and turning heads. What better way to celebrate us than to doll up like us? The only rule is cover your bits.. the rest is up to you :)

Question

What's the deal with the private ceremony?

Answer

By personal preference, we are hosting a small private ceremony right before the reception. Those invited to the ceremony will be notified by either Adam, Emily, or their parents. Ceremony information will be shared via email with those invited.

If I am invited to the private ceremony, is my plus one invited, too?

Answer

Not necessarily. If you are uncertain if you or someone else is invited to the ceremony, please contact Adam or Emily directly.
