Semi-Formal, Dressy Casual, or CocktailAll of these terms mean essentially the same thing – you should be dressed for a nice occasion, but you can get more creative in defining what that means to you. For suits, you can get more playful with colors or even introduce a subtle print with your shirt, tie or pocket square. With cocktail attire, ties are actually optional but a suit or sport coat is still preferred. Formal pantsuits, two-piece skirt sets or cocktail dresses work well for this dress code, but keep in mind that the dress length should be just above the knee or longer. Take the time of day into account, as well. Darker fabrics are appropriate for evening weddings, while lighter colors and fabrics are okay for daytime events

Eric and Jonathan met in high school and became fast friends due to their shared love of music.  Both saxophone players, they would end up sitting next to each other during band class, where a strong friendship would form.  Over a decade later, that friendship and love of music would persist.  Whether it's laughing over beers at Sam's house, or driving through snowstorms on the way to a gig, the two have been through a lot together.

Ayala and Ava met in their senior-year of high school during an after school tutoring program that helped tutor middle schoolers. Ayala and Ava bond over their love of coffee and thoughts of one day opening a cafe. Ayala and Ava would often go over to Madison's house to chronologically watch the Marvel cinematic universe in preparation for End Game. Ayala cannot wait to stand beside Ava as she starts this next chapter in her life. Here's to a lifetime of love, laughter, and unforgettable moments for Ava and Jonathan—and to Ayala, whose friendship and support mean the world.

Killian and Jonathan have been friends since middle school.  Their shared love of the video game Super Smash Bros. would lead to a friendly rivalry that continues to this day. Always one for an inside joke, Killian has always had an easy time making others, especially Jonathan, laugh.

Killian McGuire

Madison met Ava in their senior-year global history class in 2018. Their friendship grew over late night chemistry homework at Starbucks and going to the movies (especially Marvel movies). Maddy and Ava stayed friends through college surviving the pandemic. After college Maddy and Ava lived together for a year and survived being roommates. Madison is so excited to celebrate Ava's big day as she steps into her next chapter. (Madison is on the left in the picture)

Another one of Jonathan's high school friends, Ryan and Jonathan would also attend college together.  As roommates, they would bond over watching obscure movies, playing lots of Mario Kart, and working on school projects together.

Ryan Teeters

Tina and Ava met in 2023 because of False Hydra (the Metal Core band that Jonathan is in with Tina's boyfriend Sam (best man)). They have since bonded over baked goods and crafting. They became Cincinnati neighbors in 2024 and see each other weekly during band practice, during which they often share banana muffins, tea, and coffee. Tina is Ava's amazing tattoo artist! Tina and Ava love doing annual joint birthday dinners because November birthdays are the best!

Jonathan has known Nathaniel his entire life (crazy how that works, right?).  As his older brother, Nathaniel treated Jonathan to the full younger brother experience-  from teaching him how to shave, to helping with his homework, to practicing his pro wrestling moves on him.  (Apparently the siblings only ever stand in birth order when taking a picture-Ava)

Nathaniel Richards

Dana and Ava met while working together at EPA. New to Ohio, Dana felt right at home thanks to Ava's steady supply of candy, snacks, and oranges. When they weren't getting mixed up for each other, they were lunch-date and coffee-run regulars. These days they've traded snack breaks for exchanging photos of their pets and monthly zoom calls. 

Dana Tran

Much like the mythical Bigfoot, the photos of Matt that do exist are few and often quite blurry.  He is well known for his disdain of being photographed, as well as his ability to sense when a camera is pointed at him.  Matt and Jonathan met as coworkers and immediately hit it off, bonding over their shared nerdiness. When Jonathan and Ava started dating, they also became fast friends.  Matt would introduce them both to the world of fancy espresso drinks and the best peanut butter pie ever created.  This April, Matt will officiate Jonathan and Ava's wedding, and those in attendance may even get to see what he looks like!

Q + A

Hello Out of Town Friends and Family!
There is a slight chance that our VP comes to his Cincinnati home for Easter weekend. This means that he could shut down parts of Cincinnati whenever he wants. As such, I recommend that you do not book a hotel directly downtown. There are many other cool and fun areas in Cincinnati that hopefully are out of the radius that he would shut down. We are welcoming anyone who is coming out of town to come to MadTree Brewing in Oakley the night before for our Out- of-Towners get together at 6:30. It is a brewery and pizza place in one. I have found a few hotels near Oakley that are within 15 minutes of the venue.
Sincerely,
Ava

There are also many Airbnbs in the area that are great! (I would try and stay on the east side of Cincinnati) Some good areas are:West Chester Township (~30 minutes from the venue)Blue Ash (~20 minutes from the venue)Oakley (10-15 minutes from the venue)Hyde Park (5-10 minutes from the venue)
