We're planning a casual wedding and reception at the same venue, near Birmingham's Lakeview neighborhood. We'll be providing a few light appetizers and a signature cocktail punch; Brät Brot will also have their drinks menu available for order for those looking to purchase something different.

Wear whatever you love; the wedding won’t be incredibly formal, so dressy-casual is probably a good guideline — dresses and skirts are great, a button-up shirt and pants is fantastic, and if all you can muster is a pair of jeans, we’re still going to be happy to have you.

Most of you know that we’re saving money (we need to buy a car so Carrie doesn’t spend another winter on the Vespa, for one thing), and we don’t have the budget for an extravagant wedding. We’re really thankful to friends and family who are donating time and talent to create what we think will be a great party.
