We recognize that there will be some driving involved, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding. To accommodate all of our guests, including children, the reception will now be held at the clubhouse of our apartment community in Melbourne, Florida. The address can be found on the schedule of activities. Please note that the Labor Day party is still planned to take place in Port St. Lucie, weather permitting. Thank you for your flexibility and for being part of this special time with us.
Children are welcome, especially for the Labor Day cookout. For the elopement dinner, space is limited, and we are working to accommodate everyone fairly. If you plan to bring your children, please include them in your RSVP so we can plan accordingly.
Details about the restaurant and dinner location will be provided to confirmed guests once finalized.
If you’ve received an invitation, we kindly ask that you attend either the ceremony or the dinner—or both, depending on your availability. We are working within a limited guest list and want to ensure everyone invited is present for at least part of our special day. Please RSVP as soon as you can, and let us know about any food allergies in the RSVP form.
Our elopement celebration is an invite-only event due to limited space and the intimate nature of this special moment. Only those who have received a formal invitation will be able to attend the ceremony and dinner. While we are beyond grateful for the love and support from so many, we are saving our big celebration for 2027. This current gathering is meant for close family and friends. We appreciate your understanding and can’t wait to celebrate with everyone more fully in the future!

We kindly ask guests to wear formal or dressy attire in BLACK only for the dinner following the elopement. Black represents unity and elegance, and we want the evening to reflect that energy as we unite our families. We understand if you don’t own an all-black outfit—especially with how things are economically. We truly appreciate your presence most of all. However, if possible, please wear black as a show of togetherness and love.
Yes! On Labor Day, we’ll be hosting a fun and casual family-style cookout to celebrate our new marriage with more loved ones. • Food: Barbecue-style with drinks provided • Dress Code: Come comfy and casual! • Pool: Yes — bring your swimwear if you’d like to take a dip! • Guests: While it’s not an open invite, we are expecting a larger group of friends and family than the elopement. Space is still limited, so please RSVP if you’re planning to attend.
Our event takes place during hurricane season, which begins June 1st. While storms are not guaranteed, rain is always possible. Most activities will be held indoors, but if it does rain: • We’ll have umbrellas on hand. • The outdoor gazebo is covered, so light rain should not affect the ceremony. • Please allow extra travel time for safety if the weather is rainy.
Yes — and we have a special request: We are asking guests to join us for an unplugged elopement ceremony, which means no phones, photos, or videos during the ceremony itself. We’ll have a professional photographer present to capture every beautiful moment — including candid shots of you! We kindly ask that you keep your phones away so your smiles, not your screens, are captured in the memories we’ll cherish forever. You’re welcome to take photos during the dinner afterwards!
