Wedding Party

Are Children Invited? As we do love our littles we are choosing to have an adult only wedding, thank you.

What is the Dress Code? Formal Casual. We want our guests to look nice but be comfortable! A sundress, cocktail dress, long sleeve button down or knit and khakis are perfect! Please also dress for the weather given it being an April wedding.

Where is your registry?
 
Since we have been living together for some time now, we find it best that money to our Honeymoon or to a house would suit us best at this time in our life.
 
Our Honeyfund is listed below other wise there is a gift registry on the Knot.
