The Proposal

7.04.24

We celebrated our 2 year anniversary in PCB! I made many comments telling him he can not propose on our anniversary cause that’s so predictable! We were out on the beach waitin on the fireworks to start. He had bothered a nice couple earlier in the day and arranged for them to record the whole thing! My sister FaceTimed me as Carlos was “just tryin to take some good pictures of Me” then my daughter and mom added to the call along with my brother and sister in law. I was confused. Then he took me by the hand and gave my phone to the nice people he bothered and got down on one knee! We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you.

FAQs

Question

Can we bring kids or plus ones?

Answer

In order to accommodate our guest list, we ask that you do not bring any children and cannot allow plus ones unless specified on your invitation due to having a limited amount of space. We do love your children but we ask that you please use this celebration as a night out! If you can not find a baby sitter let us know and we will do our best to accommodate. And we know weddings can be awkward coming by yourself but you all are like family so no awkwardness here!

Question

Will there be alcohol?

Answer

Absolutely! Plenty of it! We are offering an open bar! There will be beer, wine and liquor!! Let us know your favorites! Also, don't forget to tip our amazing bartender!

Question

What’s for dinner?

Answer

Taco bar!!! Chicken and beef options Rice and beans Chips and salsa or queso Chicken or bean and cheese empanadas Please let us know if you have food allergies so we can accommodate you!

Question

What should you wear?

Answer

No need to get fancy! We ask that you come "dressy casual". Not formal but it is a wedding!

Question

Inside or Outside?

Answer

This is an outside wedding. The ceremony will be held on the lake (unless it rains). The reception seating is under a pavilion and the dance floor is outside as well. There will be a bonfire and bar outside both of these areas.

Question

Is this an unplugged ceremony?

Answer

Nope, take all of the photos and videos and send them to us! We do ask that during the ceremony and dances that phones are silenced but we would love to see what you see throughout the night. Also, please be mindful of the photographers that we have and please make sure you do not interfere in their shots or get in their way.

Question

What time do we have to be there?

Answer

The ceremony starts at 3:00 pm. We need you to be there and seated by 2:30pm. The ceremony will be held on the lake dock so we have to make our way down from our dressing areas and get lined up by 2:30. If you are not there by 2:30 we can not allow you to make your way to the seating area. (KIRSTIE 😂)

Question

Left Right Center?

Answer

We will be playing one of our favorite party games! A huge game of left right center. We ask that if you want to participate bring at least $6 in ones to play two rounds! You could end up taking home a couple hundred bucks!
