Our Wedding

Nick and I met in December 2016 - it was the best Christmas ever! Because it was the Christmas that I got my forever best friend. Since then, we’ve been on so many adventures - including driving across the Country and moving away to our new home in Orlando, Florida (where we’ve lived for 3 years now). We spend our days with lots of trips to theme parks like Walt Disney World and Universal Studios…and one of our favorite things to do is collect Disney pins and Legos (Nick’s favorites are Star Wars). We’re so excited to celebrate our love story with all of our friends and family in our hometown, San Diego!

Hotel recommendations

I know a lot of Florida travelers will be wanting to plan a Disney trip! Disneyland is about 2 hours away from the venue, so we recommend planning for that! Don’t forget to make your park reservations as well.

Registry

The dress code for our wedding is cocktail attire! But we hope guests take this opportunity to dress up and we look forward to seeing all your wonderful outfits!  .  We recommend dressing with layers, especially for those who may get cold easily! Our wedding will be mainly outside, but there will be a small indoor area in the castle.
