Hi there! We're Cassie & Cory.
Our story started way back in high school — technically, it started before we even talked. Cassie used to stand behind Cory’s chair every morning at school to chat with friends (while Cory was still half-asleep), but it wasn’t until we both started working at McDonald's that we officially met and started talking. Turns out, flipping burgers can flip your world upside down!
We love going to concerts, chasing new rides at the amusement parks, and spending way too much time deciding on our next adventure.
One of our favorite adventures was ringing in New Year's Eve 2023 in Tennessee. After fireworks lit up the night sky, Cory proposed back at our hotel — it was the perfect, low-key, magical moment that fit us just right.
As a couple, we’re quirky, casual, and a little weird (in the best way). We love joking around, making memories, and being together — but we also respect each other’s independence and strength. We’ve grown up together, and we can’t wait to grow old together, too.
We’re so excited to celebrate this next chapter with all of you!
When should I RSVP by?
The earlier the better! However, submitting your RSVP by the deadline of July 1st, 2026 is a must so that we can plan accordingly. If we don't hear from you by then, we'll assume that you are cheering us on from afar (and we'll miss you). Unfortunately, we won't be able to accommodate guests who show up without a response. Please send in your RSVP even if you can't make it, so we can have an accurate head count.
Can’t make it? That’s okay!
We completely understand that traveling out of state or other commitments may make it difficult for everyone to attend our wedding. Please don't feel bad if you can't make it to celebrate with us as
we are so excited to celebrate our marriage with our family and friends near home!
We will be hosting a casual cookout with BBQ and drinks. This celebration is for those who can’t travel as well as anyone who would love to celebrate with us closer to home.
More details will be shared soon — we can’t wait to celebrate together! We’d love to see you there!
Is there a dress code?
We are asking that you wear dressy casual/semi-formal. We kindly ask guests to avoid jeans and overly casual attire as we celebrate our special day. We’d love for everyone to feel dressed up for the occasion!
Feel free to match in our colors if you'd like to be on theme. It is burgundy, terracotta and hints of a lilac/lavender.
We aren't the ones to usually get dressed up, so for today, we are hoping you will too!
Will there be alcohol?
We will have a selection of drinks available, including beer, seltzers and two specialty cocktails chosen by the couple. However, please note that under no circumstances is anyone under the age of 21 permitted to consume alcohol on the property. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation!
Can I bring a date?
We’re keeping things small and intimate, so we’re only able to accommodate the guests listed on the invitation. If your invite says you have a plus-one, awesome — bring them along! If not, we hope you understand and know how excited we are to celebrate with you!
Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?
We’re hoping for sunshine and blue skies as we tie the knot outdoors! But if Mother Nature has other plans, we’ll happily move things inside—rain or shine, the celebration goes on!
Smoking and Substances
Smoking is only permitted at least 20 feet away from the building. Please be sure to dispose of cigarette butts in the designated trash cans — the venue charges $10 for each one they have to pick up, so we kindly ask for your help in keeping the space clean.
As for other substances: while we understand some preferences, please remember that marijuana is still illegal in this state. That means it cannot be seen, smelled, or used at the venue — doing so could result in the event being shut down immediately. If needed, please take care of it before arriving or opt for a discreet, scent-free option like an edible.
Firearms
If you're bringing a firearm with you, please leave it safely locked in your vehicle — no plus-ones of the pew-pew variety allowed at the venue. 😅
Children
For everyone’s safety, kiddos should not be in the parking lot, near the pond, or climbing on the deck without adult supervision. We kindly ask that all children be watched by an adult at all times — we want everyone to have fun and stay safe!
We’ll be heading down to Tennessee on the 23rd, a few days before the wedding and would love for you to join us! Feel free to come early and enjoy a relaxing getaway with us before the big day.
