Yes! Please reach out to us ASAP so we can coordinate with our caterer.
Mid-May in Raleigh usually means pleasant weather, with temperatures ranging from the mid-50s to the 70s/low 80s. Since our ceremony and cocktail hour will be held outdoors (weather permitting), comfort is key! We suggest breathable fabrics and encourage you to bring a light jacket for the evening. Attire suggestions include suits in any color (linen or lighter fabrics are perfect), cocktail dresses, stylish pantsuits, or classy sundresses. Think festive, fun, and colorful!

Thank you so much for your well wishes and for thinking of us! We're so excited to celebrate our wedding with you. We know travel can be expensive, especially for those of you coming from far away. We're so grateful you're making the trip to celebrate with us! Your presence is the most important thing to us, and we truly appreciate you taking the time and incurring the expense to be here. Gifts are not expected; however, we understand some guests may feel inclined. Please know that your presence is the only present we need. We simply want you to relax, enjoy the day, and celebrate with us to the fullest! As we're currently in an apartment and short on space, but hoping to buy a house soon, we've created a few funds in lieu of a traditional registry. These funds allow guests to contribute towards specific goals, like "Carolina Hurricanes tickets," "Behind the Scenes Rhino Experience at the Zoo" or "A new set of serving utensils," if they wish. Time with you, like joining us for a picnic at the art museum, is also greatly appreciated. If you would like to the funds, there is an option to contribute via Venmo on the fund page (which would not have additional fees), or we'll have a location for physical gifts and cards at the venue.
