Wedding Party

Engagement!

Here, there, and everywhere through the years

Sports!

That one time I surprised Phil with a photoshoot for our anniversary and it looked like we got engaged…not mad about it! We clean up nice!

And finally, where it all started — bantering with Ridge at a Fellows retreat!

Travel

Best $10 burrito you’ll ever eat. Amazing music, ambiance, and quality for an incredible price. Pro tip: show the staff any tattoos you have at check out for a discount!

Flaming Amys Burrito Barn

Easily the most scenic walk in the city. Morgan recommends walking the WB loop if you have a few hours to spare and want to get your steps in! See the website for more details.

Walk the Wrightsville Beach Loop

Incredible record store with a wide selection that’s owned by a family friend of the Lennon’s. Go check them out!

Record Bar

Top notch coastal gardens close to Wrightsville Beach and Mayfair shopping center

Arlie Gardens

Who doesn’t love a historic memorial on the water?

Battleship North Carolina

This is some of the best coffee in downtown and is walkable from the riverwalk and FBC Wilmington. This location recently finished renovations and is 10x cooler now than it was when I was in high school (it was cool then too). Also featured on The Summer I Turned Pretty!

Bespoke Coffee Shop

The aquarium is an amazing way to spend an afternoon and well worth every penny. Located at the southern most part of New Hanover County, visiting the aquarium will allow guest to see all of greater Wilmington and enjoy what coastal NC has to offer.

Fort Fisher Aquarium 

Search for dinner options no more as Indochine is literally one of the best restaurants in southeastern NC. Be prepared, it’s so good there is usually a bit of a wait. (So worth it though!)

Indochine Restraunt

Located in downtown next to the riverwalk and the historic district, this espresso bar is the espresso martini lovers paradise.

Concorde Espresso Bar

Casa Blanca Coffee Roasters

A neat multi-building antique store that is a scavengers paradise!

The Ivy Cottage Antique Store

10/10 no notes. Now open at two locations in town

K38 Baja Grill

Support local theater by seeing a show at Thalian Hall in the heart of downtown Wilmington!

Classic beach restaurant right on the intracoastal waterway that won’t break the bank!

Dockside Restaurant

PT’s Bar and Grill

Best burger place in town with multiple locations to visit!

Dress Code

When is the RSVP deadline?

Please RSVP no later than March 1st. Thank you!

Can I bring a plus one?

Due to limited capacity, we are only able to accommodate those formally invited. If you received a plus one, it will be addressed on your invitation and RSVP section of the wedding website. 

Is there a dress code?

We would love to see our family and friends dressed up with us! We are requesting formal/black tie optional attire for the evening. Bring your dancing shoes! 

What time should I arrive at FBC Wilmington (downtown) for the ceremony? 

Arriving to the venue 20 minutes early is a great idea to be sure you're able to find the venue, get parking, and settle in before it begins. Parking is available on all streets around the church. 

How far away is the reception venue from the ceremony venue?

The venues are approximately 15-20 minutes away from one another. Please plan to drive or ride share accordingly, and free parking is available at both locations.
