Our Story
Evan and I met when we least expected it, but that's often how the best things happen. Our friend, Ciara, now a bridesmaid of mine, introduced us at a party, and I'm pretty sure it was love at first sight - or at least love at first awkward conversation. I knew then, and I'm sure he did too, that we were meant to find a way back to each other. And well, here we are :)

Q + A
How long have Evan and I been together?
January 5th, 2026 will be 7 years of us being together.
When did we get engaged?
September 21st, 2024.
How do I RSVP?
You can click the RSVP button on our website to RSVP at any time. We will include a paper RSVP with the invite if you prefer to mail your RSVP back to us!
What if I don't RSVP in time?
If you do not RSVP by March 5th, you will be marked as "not attending". We would love celebrating with you; however, we have to provide an exact guest count to our vendors and cannot accept late RSVP's. (This will mean you are not allowed to show up to our special day. There will be no seating, food, or drink accommodations for you.)
What should I do if I cannot make it?
You will definitely be missed! If you cannot attend our wedding, please indicate "Will NOT Attend" on your RSVP so we can plan accordingly. If you have already RSVP'd "Attending", but find that you will not make it, please notify Erika as soon as you are aware.
Can I bring a date/plus one?
Due to limited budget, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. Your invite will be made out to "(Your name) & Guest" if a plus one has been given to you. Thank you for your understanding!
What time should I arrive?
The ceremony starts at 4pm, please arrive 30 minutes prior to allow for parking.
Will your wedding be indoors or outdoors?
Our wedding will take place in a combination of indoor and outdoor settings.
Is there parking?
Yes! There is parking at the recreation venue, but unfortunately vehicles cannot be left overnight.
How can I contribute to your honeymoon fund?
The greatest gift of all is your presence on our special day! However, should you wish to contribute to our honeymoon, a wedding card can be dropped off in the card box at the reception, or you can contribute through the website! Thank you!
