What Do I Wear? 

For the Ladies

We’re going for a formal, garden-party vibe! Think soft pastels, floral prints, and elegant long dresses. Bright spring colors are encouraged, just kindly avoid solid white. Floral patterns with a white base are perfectly fine. Please skip solid black or very dark tones, since everyone will be in photos and we’re aiming for a light, airy palette. Shoes: The ceremony is on grass, so stilettos will sink. Opt for wedges, block heels, or any sturdy heel that won’t poke into the lawn. Comfort is key! Here’s a Pinterest board for the girlies who overthink and need inspo😉 https://pin.it/6vEwo5j1X

For the Gentleman

Formal/ Semi Formal Suits or tuxedos are the move—timeless and classy. A black jacket and pants with a white shirt is totally fine, but please avoid head-to-toe black or anything overly dark. Skip the jeans and casual hats; we want everyone looking sharp and photo-ready for our garden celebration.

Suits or dress shirts are the move—timeless and classy. Light and neutral tones are encouraged to complement the garden setting, but a black suit with a white shirt is perfectly acceptable. Try to avoid head-to-toe black. No jeans or casual hats, please.

Everyone is invited to join the groom for a round of golf the morning of the wedding. Whether you’re a seasoned player or just there for fun, all are welcome! Please note, this is not a complimentary event ($50 pp). Club rentals are available for an additional fee. We’ve reserved 7 tee times starting at 7:30 AM and continuing throughout the morning. You’re welcome to play a full 18 holes or just 9, whatever works best for you. If you’d like to join, contact Ryan to be added to one of the groups and reserve your spot before they fill up! If the group timing doesn’t work for you but you’d still like to play, feel free to book your own tee time at the course.

Golf With The Groom

Pickleball For anyone traveling in early for the rehearsal dinner, we’ve reserved 2 pickleball courts on-site at the venue for Friday, April 10th.

Paddles & Pre Wedding Fun

We warmly invite our wedding party and family to join us for a farewell brunch the morning after the wedding. Enjoy mimosas, a light breakfast, and a little extra time together before we head off on our honeymoon!

Brunch & Bubbles 

If you’re arriving early or staying the weekend, Downtown Bastrop is full of charming spots to explore! From quaint restaurants and cute bars to coffee shops, galleries, and boutiques, there’s plenty to enjoy. For a little adventure, check out Bastrop State Park or go moonlight paddling on the Colorado River. You’ll also find live music around town, especially at 602 Brewing on weekend nights. Ava & Ryan’s Faves: – Neighbor’s Kitchen & Yard – pizza, drinks, and river views. – Copper Shot Distillery – cocktails, board games, and live music on the patio. – Caff Coffee – the latte hits just right, and the avocado toast gets Ava’s stamp of approval!

Things to Do

It all started on October 20th, 2022, at the UTSA cafeteria. Ryan saw Ava from across the room and was instantly captivated. He couldn’t stop thinking about her and even went back to tell his roommate, “I want to date that girl.” From that moment on, Ryan was on a mission. He followed her on all the socials, and tried to get her attention—but no luck quite yet! Determined, Ryan sent her a message. But Ava didn’t respond… until he sent a picture of himself in his baseball jersey. That did the trick! Ava was intrigued, and suddenly Ryan had her attention. Soon after, he asked her out on their first date: happy hour at Kona Grill. The date was a blast. Ava laughed so hard she accidentally blew out the table’s candles three times. Eventually, Ryan had to ask the waiter to stop re-lighting them! That night, Ryan knew Ava was special. They continued spending time together, getting to know each other, and Ryan meeting one of the most important boys in her life… BLUE! When Ava saw Ryan’s love for her soul dog she knew she needed to date this man. Then, on December 27th, Ryan, with her favorite flowers in hand, asked her to be his boyfriend! Ava said yes! Since then, every day has been an adventure, filled with laughter, love, and memories. Now, we can’t wait to take the next step in our story—forever.
