If you have any questions other than what we have listed here, please feel free to reach out to the GROOM!
We would like for everyone to RSVP by August 31st. You can RSVP on the website or there will be a QR code on the RSVP card you will receive with your invitation. If you have not responded by this date, we will unfortunately have to mark you down as ‘not attending’. We will miss celebrating with you, however, we have to provide our exact guest count to our vendors and will not be able to accept late RSVPs.
If you are unable to make it, you will be missed! Please choose “Will not attend” on the RSVP so that we are able to plan accordingly. If you have already RSVP’d “Attending”, but find that you no longer can make it, please notify the groom as soon as you are aware.
Unfortunately due to limited space, we can only accommodate those formally invited on your wedding invitation. If you received a plus one, their name will appear under your name when you RSVP. Thank you for understanding!
The wedding will take place on October 31st, 2026 at Richwood on the River.
The ceremony will be outdoors, and the reception will be indoors at the same location.
Valet parking will be provided by us through the venue. Cars can be left overnight, but vehicles must be picked up prior to noon the next day. Please plan a way of getting here accordingly and map the route beforehand to ensure on time arrival.
The ceremony will begin at 4:30pm. Earliest arrival to the venue can start as early as 3:30pm. We ask that everyone arrives no later that 4:15 so that we may start on time.
We would love to see our family and friends dressed up for our big day! The dress code for the ceremony and reception will be formal and we will announce the wedding colors here when those are finalized.
For those of you who are unfamiliar, there are several Filipino wedding traditions that we are including in our ceremony. 1. Parental blessings: as a sign of respect to your elders, it is customary to bow your head to touch the back of your elder's hand. During the ceremony, we as a couple ask for blessings from our parents by either kissing their hands or touching the back of their hands to our foreheads. 2. The veil & chord: Godparents drape a ceremonial lace veil over the bride’s head and the groom’s shoulder to symbolize being clothed as one. A ceremonial cord, called a yugal, is then wrapped around the couple in a figure-eight pattern, which symbolizes an eternal bond of fidelity. The yugal is often a silken cord that is personally passed down/woven by the mother of the bride. 3. The 13 coins: Inherited from Spanish culture, the passing of the coins, called Arrhae, from the groom to the bride symbolizes a promise of prosperity. 4. Rice cakes: after the ceremony the newlyweds will be served a small plate of kalamay, or sticky rice cakes, to symbolize "sticking together"
