We Eloped — Now It’s Time to Celebrate!
Last year, we tied the knot in the most intimate way — just the two of us, exchanging vows in a moment that was perfectly “us.” While it was the most special day of our lives, we missed having our friends and family there to share in the joy.
That’s why we’re so excited to invite you to join us for our one-year anniversary celebration! We can’t wait to laugh, dance, and raise a glass with the people who mean the most to us. It’s our chance to relive the magic — this time, surrounded by all of you.
Q: Wait… didn’t you already get married?
A: We did! We eloped last year in Hawaii, just the two of us. Now we’re so excited to finally celebrate with all our friends and family for our one-year anniversary. Check out our the photo gallery for more photos.
Q: What should I wear?
A: Dress code: cocktail attire, garden party chic, dressy casual. Feel free to have fun with it!
Q: What is a strolling dinner? Will there be an open bar?
A: A strolling dinner is a less formal, more interactive alternative to a seated meal. The evening is designed to encourage mingling and conversation between both of our families. You'll have the freedom to circulate and enjoy the event space while also enjoying an open bar and a wide selection of hors d'oeuvres.
Q: Can I bring a plus-one?
A: Please check your invitation — if a guest is listed, we’d love for them to join!
Q: Are kids welcome?
A: We love your little ones, but this will be an adults-only evening.
