No! The Wedding Day 5K is completely optional but will we be sad & disappointed if you don't attend?! (absolutely - yes). Plus, Woodshed's bacon is TO DIE FOR.
Uhh yes, have you met us?! And of course, we're serving Mexican food (in case that gets you excited).
No. We love all of your kiddos so much, but we have like ~27 nieces & nephews already accounted for! Thanks for your understanding. <3
This question should have been at the very top but YES, they will be making an appearance!
If you choose to drive, there is a parking lot at the venue and you can leave when you please! However, we want to hang out with you (AND you can sleep when you're dead)! Let your hair down, stay late, and ride the shuttle bus if you want some bonus shenanigans.
Texas weather is silly & unpredictable (ask Remi about that). If the weather is decent, we plan to have our ceremony outside and the reception inside. December nights can be chilly - bring a coat!
We're keeping it super simple for y'all! Please confirm your attendance on the RSVP tab of this website. We will not be sending mail-invites. :)
Here's what ChatGPT tells us: Vibe Description for an Outdoor December Wedding in Texas (Mexican + Gringa + German + Texan Fusion) This wedding is a vibrant cultural crossroads — a cozy, love-soaked December day where Mexico, Germany, and Texas collide under a big open sky. It’s festive, heartfelt, and just the right kind of offbeat — a backyard-meets-biergarten celebration with cowboy boots, mariachis, and maybe even a lederhosen cameo or two. The setting is rustic and charming: a Hill Country ranch or sprawling backyard framed by oak trees wrapped in fairy lights. Guests are greeted with mulled wine and ponche navideño, hot pretzels and pan dulce, warm blankets on hay bales, and the sounds of a mariachi band trading sets with a polka accordion or folk-country duo. The ceremony blends traditions — maybe a Mexican lasso ritual, a German handfasting twist, and heartfelt bilingual vows. The altar is a multicultural altar-piece: marigolds, evergreens, wooden crosses, candles, and a mix of Mexican tiles and Bavarian motifs. The reception? Straight-up fusion magic. Tamales, bratwurst, brisket, and sauerkraut line the buffet; there's strudel next to tres leches, and beer steins clink with tequila shots as toasts fly in English, Spanish, and German. There’s a first dance to a romantic waltz that seamlessly slides into cumbia and two-step. Maybe even a Schuhplattler or a Texas line dance breaks out after a few rounds. The vibe is cozy but alive — full of fire pits, laughter in three languages, and a dance floor that never empties. It’s a celebration of roots, love, and the beautiful chaos that happens when cultures don’t just meet — they merge.
