We’re not expecting tuxedos and ball gowns but let’s all get a little dressed up (dresses, suit jackets, ties, some form of pants, etc.)
We’re asking that you wear solid colors because it makes the photos and you look awesome. No worries if you’re two solid colors, but take it easy on the patterns. Please leave that marijuana leaf micropattern shirt or crazy cat tie at home. We admit desert tones is kinda vague so feel free to google “desert tones” and see what inspires your soul.
We want to hang out with you as much as possible so come eat more and drink more. We’ll have plenty of stuff on hand but feel free to bring a six-pack or something to throw on the grill or a side to battle that meat fight in your belly. The BBQ is going down at Gretchen and Steve’s house in the Ridgecrest neighborhood near Nob Hill. There’s a park a block away so we can get some games going and let your kids run wild. Please feel free to wear that marijuana leaf micropattern shirt or crazy cat tie to the BBQ. Gretchen and Steve’s address to come via email in September.
Casa de Suenos is just west of downtown Albuquerque and a few blocks from the historic Old Town district. Get ready for some adobe walls and cottonwood trees.
Hell yes!
Downright pleasant — we hope. The average for September is a high of 83° and low 58°. It’s the high desert which means it warms up during the day, and the temperature dips at night. Check that weather app before you pack.

Having you join us and celebrate is generous enough! Gifts are not expected or necessary. However, if you’d still like to give us something, we’re going on a backpacking trip to Asia for our honeymoon would be grateful if you’d like to contribute to us not sleeping in hostels with Generation Z Europeans and Australian rastas. Also, we love small handmade gifts. So go ahead and whittle us a spoon from a bigger spoon but don’t paper mache two life-size flamingos forming a heart shape because we live in a New York City apartment box.
