FAQs

Question

Wait, you’re eloping?!

Answer

We are! We’re keeping it intimate and heartfelt with a small ceremony in Martinez, CA surrounded by our closest loved ones. It’s exactly the kind of "us" moment we dreamed of.

Question

Are you taking photos at San Francisco City Hall?

Answer

Yes, San Francisco is special to us, and we couldn’t pass up the chance to capture part of our day in such a stunning place.

Question

Do you have a honeymoon fund?

Answer

Yes! After the big day, we’re heading to Pueblo Bonito in Cabo San Lucas for sunshine, tacos, and well-earned relaxation. If you'd like to contribute to honeymoon adventures (like dinners, spa days, or excursions), you’ll find those listed in the registry too.

Question

Can we send a gift directly to you?

Answer

Yes! We’ve made it easy to have gifts sent directly to our home. Just select the shipping option during checkout.

Question

What's your love story in a nutshell?

Answer

We met on Bumble, hit it off instantly, and talked for over 4 hours on our first date. It’s been laughs, adventures, and love ever since. This day is a celebration of that journey, and we're so thankful you're part of it.

Question

I want to give something not on your registry. Is that okay?

Answer

Of course! While the registry includes things we’d love or need, your thoughtfulness is what really counts. Feel free to get creative or personal if you’d like.

Question

Will you know who sent each gift?

Answer

Yes, unless it's marked as anonymous. If you send something, please be sure your name is included so we can send a thank-you!

Question

What if something is out of stock or no longer available?

Answer

If that happens, feel free to reach out to us or simply choose something else that speaks to you. No pressure at all.

Question

Do you have a preferred deadline for gifts?

There’s no strict deadline, but we truly appreciate any gifts being sent before or shortly after the wedding.

Question

Why Martinez, CA for the elopement?

Answer

Because it’s close to home, low-key, and totally our style. We wanted something simple, meaningful, and stress-free. Martinez gave us the perfect backdrop to celebrate with our favorite people without losing sight of what really matters.

Question

Any pets?

Answer

Yes! We have a 1-year-old goldendoodle named Winston who's fluffy, friendly, and fully convinced he’s the main character. He’s been our constant source of joy, snuggles, and laughter. We’re completely obsessed with him (and he knows it).
