We got married, y’all! Now, we want to party with you!
We’re going to throw a party on July 20th, 2024, in our back yard. (We hope you saw the save-the-date announcement. It’s posted below if you missed it. We’re pretty proud of it.) We want you to party with us.
Dress: Super-casual. It will be late July and outdoors. It will probably be HOT. Make sure you’re comfortable.
What to bring: Something to drink to share, or something to eat to share, or something to plant. We have huge new planters along each side of the back yard, and it would be neat to have flowers (or vegies or trees or whatever you want) to remind us of you as they grow in the yard.
Heads-up: Parking on Morning Glory is a bit of a challenge. You may need to find parking way down the street or even around the bend on Marigold Drive. Sorry about that!
Our guest room is spoken for (though we have some cots and couches if people drink too much), so if you’re traveling, we highly recommend the Independence Hotel, here: https://theindependencehotel.com/
The party will start at 3:00 in the afternoon and go until whenever, so drop by when you can or stay for the whole shindig!
