Q + A

Will the couple have an engagement party?

We have decided not to have an engagement party. Instead, Joy will have a bridal shower to celebrate with the women of her family and her gal pals before she says I do in Mississippi, New Mexico, and a virtual gathering for the DMV.

Can I bring a plus one to the wedding ceremony?

Unfortunately, we have a strict guest list to adhere to our budget. Our celebration is strictly RSVP only. We will only be able to accommodate those listed on your wedding invitation.

Where are you registered?

We are so thankful you have thought of us as we celebrate our love. We have registered with The Knot, Target, and Etsy if you would like to purchase a gift or contribute to our honeymoon fund in celebration of our union.

Are children allowed to the wedding?

Yes! For the wedding ceremony and reception, we have listed the children for invited guests as part of immediate family who are allowed to attend.

Are children allowed at the bridal shower?

Yes, if the child is listed on your invitation and is immediate family. If you have to bring your child/children, please notify the bridal shower host to ensure that accommodations can be made and keep a careful watch of your child/children if they will be allowed to attend please.
