The wedding colors are black, blue, grey, burgundy, and pink.

The dress code is going to be cocktail attire or formal. If you're wearing heels, you might want to bring flats to change into, especially at the reception. If you are wondering what colors not to wear, please contact Alexandria on whatever platform you're able to- Facebook, Snapchat, her phone, her email, etc. If you can't get ahold of Alexandria, please get ahold of Thomas and he will pass along her contact information.

The theme is "literature". As Thomas and Alexandria initially met and fell in love through discussions of reading and writing, they figured that it was only appropriate that the theme of their wedding deals with what brought them together in the first place.

You will be sorely missed! Please let us know that you're unable to make it. If you still want to be able to see the wedding, Thomas and Alexandria will be live-streaming the event on Zoom. A link will be sent within the next couple of weeks.

Thomas and Alexandria are limiting the amount of guests to those listed on your invitation. If a plus-one is listed on your invitation, then you can. If not, then unfortunately we have reached the capacity for our event. If you are bringing a plus one, please let Alexandria and Thomas know their name so that they are informed ahead of time.

Thomas and Alexandria enjoy children and are thinking about having their own, but they want their special day child-free. They understand that there are few events where parents will be able to relax without their children and they want to extend that to their guests. No exceptions will be made. If you have any concerns, please reach out to Thomas or Alexandria.

Thomas and Alexandria will need RSVPs back in by April 5, 2024. The link to the RSVPs on the website will be LIVE the day that they get mailed out, so RSVPs can start immediately. Announcements will be made when the invitations are in the mail in case you want to RSVP prior to your invite arriving in your mailbox. If your invitation is not in by April 5, we will have no choice but to mark your RSVP down as an "unable to attend" due to catering needing to know how many people are needed for food.

There will be a room block available at the Madison Hotel for those staying overnight at the Hotel. More details on that are available in the "Travel and Accommodations" Tab.

Have you ever wondered why we say people are "tying the knot" at weddings? That saying came from the handfasting ceremony! Handfasting originated in Celtic lands, primarily Scotland and Ireland. In the ancient traditions, a couple who wished to be married would have ribbons tied to their wrists, announcing their intent to be married. They would then wear those for a year and a day before deciding if they wanted to be married or if they should go their separate ways. Modern uses of this tradition will put this in place of other traditional wedding ceremonies. Both Thomas and Alexandria had opted for a non-religious wedding but still wanted something symbolic to announce their lives being tied together in matrimony that was still significant, so they drew on their shared Celtic heritage- with Thomas having Irish ancestry and Alexandria having Scottish and Irish ancestry, they decided on a handfasting ceremony to have that symbolism.

Alcohol will be served; however, drinking and driving will not be tolerated under any circumstances. If you are struggling with addiction or if you do not drink alcohol for any reason, there will be non-alcoholic beverages as well.

Currently, Thomas and Alexandria are piecing together their menu and taking into consideration everyone's dietary and religious needs so that everyone can enjoy every part of the courses. Vegetarian options will be available, but not to worry- you do not need to decide what you're eating, as they take the orders for food at the table! However, we will be putting up a menu when the wedding invitations have been mailed out so that everyone can be prepared and aware of what is available. If you have any major dietary concerns, please let Thomas or Alexandria know in advance.

At specified moments during the ceremony, our officiant will invite those who want to take pictures to take pictures of Thomas and Alexandria's ceremony. Outside of these times, however, they ask that you refrain from using your phone to take photos or videos and allow the photographers to do their job. During the reception, please feel free to take as many pictures as you want.

Please send any and all wedding gifts to 5 Markham Circle, Englewood NJ 07631. Please also add a note as to who sent the gifts so that Thomas and Alexandria can send thank you cards.

With both Thomas and Alexandria being workaholics, we will do the best we can to answer! Unless it pertains to the bridal party, either one of them is fine. If you have questions pertaining to the bridal party or other bride related questions, please get ahold of Alexandria, as Thomas knows nothing of the sort.
