Our Story

We met in DC and quickly realized we just really liked being around each other. Since then, we’ve spent a lot of time traveling, eating good food (especially sushi), sharing books, playing videogames, raising cats + guinea pigs, and generally figuring life out side by side. From DC to Philly (where we met so many of you between 2021–2025), we’ve been through big moves, school, career shifts, and a lot of really good hangs. Somewhere along the way, we built a life that feels like ours. We’re really grateful for all of you who’ve been part of it. We're so excited to celebrate together!!

Q & A

What time should I arrive?

Please arrive by 4:15pm.

The ceremony will begin promptly at 4:30pm in the Tiffany Gallery. We recommend arriving a little early to settle in and enjoy the space before we get started.

What is the dress code?

We invite you to dress in cocktail or semi-formal attire.

Suits, dresses, creative touches welcome, as MoCA Arlington is an art gallery! Polished and celebratory is the vibe.

Can I bring a plus one?

Due to the intimate size of our wedding, invitations reflect the guest(s) included. Please reach out to the couple if you have any questions about who is included on your invitation.
