From Riley's POV: Our first date took place in the cozy comfort of my apartment, where we spent the evening simply talking and getting to know each other. Isaiah was quiet—gentle, reserved, and thoughtful. Not loud or immediately outgoing, but there was something about that calmness that drew me in. I found myself curious to know who he was when he felt fully at ease, and I was eager know more about him. At one point, thinking Isaiah was Hispanic, I asked if he spoke Spanish. He said yes—so naturally, I launched into an enthusiastic explanation in Spanish of how I’d studied it in college, immersed myself in movies, music, radio, journaling—you name it. A few sentences in, he politely cut in with a smile and said, “Oh no, not like that. I meant... I took it in high school.” We kept talking late into the night, the kind of conversation that just flows and feels grounding. And then, as he was about to leave, I asked him if I coul kiss him. He hesitated—with a long, drawn-out “um...” that made me smile. But then, quietly, he said “yes.” It was soft, real, and unmistakably the beginning of something meaningful. I knew then that I wanted to know everything about Isaiah and over three years later I am STILL constantly intigued to know more about him. From Isaiah's POV Riley invited me to his apartment for our first date. We lived close by, so I walked over—excited and a little nervous. I even texted a friend to let her know where I’d be, just to be safe. We sat on his couch and talked for hours. I was shy at first, but Riley's open, talkative energy made me feel welcome. He asked thoughtful questions and seemed genuinely interested in who I was. I found myself opening up more than I expected. At one point, he asked if I spoke Spanish. I said yes—meaning, I took it in high school. Before I could explain, he launched a monologue. I had to gently stop him and say, “Oh no, not like that.” I just took a couple years in highschool. For the record I am not hispanic, I am a quarter black. Eventually, I had to head out—some of us don’t get to sleep in like Riley. As I was leaving, he asked if he could kiss me. I hesitated—nervously, heart racing—then said yes. I walked home smiling, already hoping there would be a second date. Fast forward three and a half years—and here I am, saying yes again
7:00 pm - 10:30 pm
Any clothing you would wear out is fine for this evening.
Welcome to the Wedding Weekend! Join us for drinks and food at 4Daughters in Downtown Medford on Thursday, 10/23 at 7 PM—we’d love to spend time with you before the big day sweeps us away. This is a casual time to hang out and have drinks with friends and family that want to celebrate the upcoming weekend with us. With weddings tending to leave minimal time to converse with all the guests we would like to connect with, we want to create an opportunity to spend time with the people that make the day special. Any guests traveling that may be in town early or our local friends and family are welcome! Come join us for our last date before the wedding day!
3:00 pm - 10:00 pm

We’re grateful to already share a fully furnished home, so outside of a few specific items we don’t have much need for traditional household gifts. Riley-and-Isaiah is our Venmo (1026 for the last 4 of our phone number) If you’re feeling generous, we would be very grateful for any contributions toward our honeymoon fund. You can find a few specific items on our registry and a Zola payment processor for card payment contributions.
Outside of a few selcted family members, this is a childfree wedding. Nursing and lap children are of course an exception.
We are so excited for you to join us! This is a special day for us and we would like it to be reflected in the attire (and photography) of the event. Attire: Please dress in smart/business casual to semi-formal attire. Rich fall colors, patterns, and textures are welcome! Gentlemen: We ask that you dress in a way that’s polished. Button-up or collared shirts with slacks or chinos. To add a seasonal touch feel free to layer with a sweater, vest, cardigan, jacket or peacoats. -T-shirts are acceptable when paired with a structured outer layer—such as a cardigan, sweater, coat or blazer—for a clean, intentional look. For a dressier vibe blazers or sports coats are welcome! Blazers ties and pocket squares are optional but welcome for those feeling more formal. Leather shoes, boots, or loafers are preferred. Ladies: We encourage attire that’s elegant yet comfortable. Midi or knee-length dresses, little black dresses (LBDs), skirts with blouses Dressy jumpsuits Consider layering with a cardigan, shawl, or light jacket for fall weather and for fall vibes. Boots, heels, or flats are all appropriate—but keep in mind that much of the event takes place on grass, so plan footwear accordingly. Note: Please avoid overly casual clothing such as polos, Hawaiian shirts, shirts with loud logos, athletic wear, overly distressed jeans, hoodies, and sneakers. When in doubt, dress like you're heading to a nice dinner out—or, if you're feeling fancy, a gala evening. We'd love everyone to feel like themselves while helping us create a beautiful atmosphere that honors the day that is taking place.

The doors will open at 3pm, while there is no bride. . . Riley is not known for his timliness so a small delay may be a possibility but please plan to be seated by 4pm for the ceremony to begin.
We don't have prearranged transportation. Medford Uber and Lyft are usually reasonably priced due to it being a smaller town and the venue being in Medford.
Yes there is on site parking! It may fill up so carpool or uber as possible or plan that you may need to walk a block or two. If you have issues with walking please plan to arrive at 3pm to ensure a closer place to park.
We are anticipating many loved ones and excited friends. Due to this we ask that guests do not bring plus ones who we have not directly invited. Exceptions are spouses, long term partners, and lap children.
