Black. Blackity-Black Black. We would love to see our family and friends get dressed up for dinner in all black. The dress code is semi-formal/cocktail attire. Enjoy a nice dinner with us feeling as good as you look!
Due to limited space and our true desire for this to be an intimate evening, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited. We have sent the wedding website link personally to those invited to our ceremony and once you RSVP, a formal invite will follow. If you received a plus one they will appear under your name when you RSVP. Thank you for understanding!
While we love your little ones, we have decided to make our dinner ceremony an adults-only event. We encourage you to use this evening as a night out to make a core memory with us! We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time so you can attend.
Please RSVP by December 1st, 2023 via the wedding website. If you cannot make it, your presence will absolutely be missed! Please RSVP "Will NOT Attend" If you have already RSVP'd but find that you will not be able to make it, please notify the bride or groom.
We ask that guests arrive between 5:00pm and 5:15pm to be seated. The ceremony will start PROMPTLY at 5:30pm which means if you arrive past that time, we will see you after the vows.
Two things were important to the wedding experience for us: the getting married part and the living in wedded bliss part. To share the experience with those who love them the most (and not start an uproar with an elopement), we decided that a dinner party was just the thing. No dancing or tosses, just good company, good food, and amazing memories!
In these modern times, an 'elopement' is considered an intimate, non-traditional, and intentional way of getting married. So no, it is not a big secret although others may not have been invited to witness the vows. Please know that you being present is very intentional to Rasheedat and Justin as you play a vital role in their individual and lives together as a couple.
