We are getting married in North Carolina and hosting a black-tie destination wedding weekend. Before selecting our venue and securing accommodations, we need an estimate of how many guests are planning to attend. This form is not an RSVP — it simply helps us choose the right location, guest capacity, and lodging options so we can create the best possible experience for everyone. Your response truly makes a difference, and we are so grateful for your help as we plan our celebration.

Kayla and Matthew have known each other their entire lives. Their parents have been part of the same close-knit group of lifelong friends for decades, creating a family of choice they lovingly call their “framily.” Growing up, their families spent countless holidays, milestones, and summers together, and while Kayla and Matthew were always around one another, it wasn’t until much later that their own story truly began. In 2014, everything shifted when their families took a cruise together. What had once been a familiar childhood presence slowly became something deeper — a real friendship that laid the foundation for what was to come. Years passed, college happened, and life moved forward, but fate was quietly working in the background. In February of 2020, Kayla, home from college and feeling a pull she could no longer ignore, reached out to Matthew — who was finally single. That simple moment became the beginning of everything. With a lifetime of shared history behind them, falling in love felt effortless. There was comfort, understanding, and a sense that this was always where they were meant to end up. Their relationship has been built on forgiveness, time spent side by side, and a shared commitment to building a future together. In many ways, Kayla had known long before February 2020 — she’d had a crush on Matthew since she was just fourteen — but this time, it was real, and it was theirs. On December 29, 2025, with the breathtaking skyline of Barcelona stretching out before them and their families by their sides, Matthew asked Kayla to spend forever with him — and she said yes. From childhood friends, to lifelong partners, this love story has always been written in the stars.
