FAQs
Question
Where is the wedding?
Answer
Our wedding is at Ruby located in Nashville's Hillsboro Village area. You should know that Ruby is located on a turf which Nashville natives know as "Dragon Park." As Molly is a Nashville native, she has so many memories here which range from her Dad chasing her around Dragon Park's unique landscape, swinging in her Mom's lap, hanging out with her sister (and maybe some crushes) as a teenager, and bringing Dewey here to play during COVID when she first met Connor. To say it's special is an understatement! We are so excited to add this memory to the list. You can find Ruby at 2411 Blakemore Ave. Nashville, TN 37212 and, if you get a chance, we hope you take time to explore the area to find out just why natives call it Dragon Park :)

We have a saying in Nashville which is, "if you don't like the weather, wait a minute." It is a toss up! While we are manifesting sunny with the high of 75, temperatures could be well into the 80s with the night in the mid to low 60s.
Question
Okay, but what should I wear?
Answer
As you prepare to grace us with your presence, we kindly request that you adhere to our elegant dress code below. Give us main character energy. Don’t be in a box! For the Ladies: - Channel your inner princess or fairy-tale heroine with dresses that make you want to twirl and sparkle like the stars in the night sky. Think flowing gowns, a sexy midi dress, delicate lace that whispers of romance, and colors that make hearts skip a beat. Remember, your outfit should make you feel like the leading lady in your own love story! For the Gentlemen: Suit up, dear gentlemen, in your finest attire that would make James Bond himself jealous. Whether you opt for a classic tuxedo that exudes sophistication or a well-tailored suit that shows off your debonair charm, remember that attention to detail is key. Who says sparkles are for girls only? Be inspired to be your truest self. Add a touch of whimsy with quirky socks or a dashing bow tie - after all, it’s all about those little details that make hearts flutter! Lastly - remember, you're never truly dressed with out a smile. TLDR; it's formal - we want you to serve! and do we really need to tell you not to wear white?
