When we first got engaged, we knew we wanted to do something a little different. While it was clear to us we wanted any wedding ceremony to be very small, we felt two receptions — one on the west coast and one further east — was the best way to include as many of our loved ones as possible without juggling too many logistics.

Back in April, you should hopefully have received your virtual save-the-date with information as to where we can see you and celebrate with you. As a rule of thumb, if you're closer to Portland, OR, you're probably invited there; if you're closer to Murfreesboro, TN, we'll see you there! But if you have any questions, feel free to text Justin or Julea (or one of their parents) to clarify where and what to RSVP for.

Well, in short and within reason, you should wear whatever you want! A pop of color is encouraged — not required. Most of our invites will say something along the lines of "wear colors" and "don't buy anything new." We're keeping the receptions fairly casual, and we want you to wear something fun, something you love, something celebratory. Aloha shirts or boldly colored button-downs? Let's see 'em. That yellow dress you thrifted last year but don't know when you'll wear it? Bring it on.
