Things to Do

We kindly ask that guests wear formal, black-tie optional attire, if you are able. Please see below for inspiration and guidance. From Brides.com: As the wording here suggests, black-tie optional is a wedding guest dress code that's slightly less formal than black-tie wedding attire. So, a tuxedo isn't required, but it can still be worn, if preferred. If men do opt for a suit, it's best to wear a formal dark suit, white shirt, and a conservative tie. For women, the outfit choices remain the same as black-tie affairs: a floor-length gown, a fancy cocktail dress, or a dressy pantsuit. Please refer to the following articles if you have additional questions: <a href="https://www.theknot.com/content/formal-wedding-attire" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Formal Attire 101: What to Wear to a Formal Wedding</a><a href="https://www.brides.com/story/wedding-dress-code-explained" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Every Wedding Guest Dress Code, Explained</a><a rel="noopener" target="_blank">Wedding Dress Codes: A Guest's Guide to Every Type of Attire</a>

Get to know Elizabeth

Quinton and Elizabeth met in the Marching Hundred. They were friends for years, where they spent much of their time hanging out with friends, walking around campus, eating Mother Bear's, and studying. They were in Bloomington nearly the entire time they dated. Very little had changed for them, except most of their friends had moved away, Quinton was in grad school, Elizabeth traveled the state for her job, and they were both 21. Most of their free time was spent seeing Elizabeth's family, antiquing, cooking, and exploring Indiana. Quinton, Elizabeth, their friends, and their families knew they would end up spending the rest of their lives together from very early on. After Quinton spent four months at basic training, he had a ring made in three days so he could propose in the ten days he had before he had to report back to training. Quinton proposed in the Rose Well House while they were on one of their walks around Indiana University. Elizabeth is near impossible to surprise, but Quinton's natural calmness was able to completely fool Elizabeth for once. Quinton's career took him and an Indiana born-and-raised Elizabeth to Washington, DC, where he is stationed. Their whole world has changed, but they still love doing the same things, spending time with friends, and Elizabeth is still doing the same job with the same company. Quinton and Elizabeth are looking forward to settling into the rest of their lives together.
