A Whole Weekend Together
The most important thing to us about this wedding is you. W+E want to make our vows to one another in front of our community - our friends and family.
W+E have lived and traveled throughout the U.S. and our family and friends are scattered across the continent. Almost everyone will have to travel to attend, and we are hoping to create multiple opportunities for everyone to get to know each other, have a unique experience exploring St. Louis together, and make some great memories and connections that last beyond this weekend.
We're hoping you'll join us for as much of the weekend as you can, be open to meeting new people and help form a community to support us now, and in the future.
W+E love you and can't wait to see you!
