The dress code is semi-formal/cocktail attire. Although our wedding will be anything but traditional, we would like to take photographs after the ceremony with all of our family, and ask that everyone wears some variation of either blue, pink or gray for photographs. Matt will be in a light gray suit, and Tori will be in a knee-length white dress.
You don't have to, but for anyone who lives outside of D.C., we'd love for you to make a night of it, enjoy your evening, and not have to drive home. The pre-ceremony cocktail hour will be held at the hotel, and there is a lounge area with a pool table for late-night fun after dinner and dancing.
We will not have a wedding registry. Gifts are not necessary, but appreciated in the form of anything to support our new home; gift cards to Home Depot, Lowes etc. or the down-payment for a new roof! :)
