You are cordially, warmly, tenderly invited:
Friday, February 27
The wedding weekend will start with a bonfire at the beach on the south side San Clemente Pier. Check back here on Friday for the exact coordinates.
We’ll be parked there from 5:30 p.m. until 9 p.m. Pizza and other bites will be served at 5:30, about 15 minutes before sunset. We’ll also have beverages and s’mores throughout the evening. Some blankets will be available, but please check the weather and dress warmly! Feel free to dress casually. We will likely be wearing some variation of sweats.
We know itineraries and arrival times vary, so please know this event is completely optional.
Saturday, February 28
The ceremony and reception will take place at Franciscan Gardens in San Juan Capistrano at 5 p.m. Guests are welcome to arrive as early as 4:30 p.m.
The reception will end at 12 a.m. and will be followed by an evening stroll to the nearby In-N-Out.
But it won’t end there. Please join us for an afterparty at the North Beach Villa, just a 10-minute drive away.
Sunday, March 1
We originally had planned to organize something for the morning after the wedding, but we had to rethink those plans due to our own travel arrangements. We’ll miss an opportunity to see your faces one more time, but it might be for the best given how late the wedding night may go. Let’s remember each other at our best.

The idea of gathering you all in one place makes us want to ugly cry. After all, the two of us are only able to love each other because you loved us first.
