Your love and support mean the world to us, and we are so excited to celebrate with you! If you’d like to give a gift, we have put together a small registry of things we will need for when we eventually move in together (here on Zola: "registry"). However, since Josh is in the Navy, we expect to move around a bit for the unforeseeable future, and simply don't have the space for much stuff! With that being said, a contribution to any of our cash funds would be the most meaningful gift as we start our new chapter as husband and wife. But truly, your presence is the best gift of all!
We have two hotels blocked for guests. The Hilton is blocked for Saturday and Sunday and the Waterfront is booked just for Sunday (due to the fact that USNA's homecoming is Saturday, October 25, hotel rooms are limited)! If you are planning to come in on Friday, we recommend finding and booking another room ASAP.
We will be mailing out paper invitations in early August and ask that you RSVP online at this website (i.e. "RSVP" section) no later than September 14.
Yes to both! You will be able to park on the USNA campus and at Blackwall Hitch. You will be able to drive onto the USNA campus starting at 11.00AM, through gates 8 or 1. I will provide clarifying information in an email the week of the wedding. Blackwall Hitch has parking on the premises, and also has overflow parking at 641 Severn Avenue (it is a lot behind the restaurant at the crux of Burnside Street and Severn Avenue). You will see signs for "Kimmel Studio Architects" and "Talula for Hair."
Dressy/cocktail casual. Please no jeans. Our wedding reception will be held outdoors so please dress accordingly ! If you have any questions about attire, please feel free to ask Alexandra. For some ideas: https://www.theknot.com/content/what-to-wear-dressy-casual
Unfortunately due to very limited space we cannot accommodate plus ones. To whomever the invitation is addressed is who is invited.
If you hold a Military ID (active duty, reservist, retired, or dependent) or a government-issued Common Access Card (CAC), please remember to bring this ID with you to USNA on the day of the wedding!
Anyone who is NOT DOD-affiliated/credentialed cannot enter the USNA campus prior to 11:00am and must leave/drive off campus by 1:00 pm. You are only allowed to enter through gates 1 (near the visitor's center) and 8. You may park anywhere that is not reserved or restricted. We recommend parking on the street parallel to the Miller Chapel (e.g. on Brownson or Turney Joy Roads).
