Good to Know

FAQ

• What should I wear?

  The Virginia ceremony is semi-formal with a fall vibe. Think suit separates or a midi dress.

  The D.C. celebration is black tie optional.

  For inspiration, photos, and what to bring, take a look at the Vibes page in the menu.

• What should I know about getting there?

  We’ll have SUVs running from The Virginian, departing at 2:15 PM, well suited to the mountain road, so the easiest option is to hop in and leave the driving to us.

  If you’d rather drive yourself, note that the mountain ceremony sits at the top of a steep climb, so a 4WD or AWD vehicle is strongly recommended. If a car gets stuck, it’s a long walk up, roughly 1,000 feet of elevation gain. Please don’t make Brady come tow you up the mountain in his suit!

• Are children welcome?

  We’ve chosen to make this an adults-only evening. We understand if it means you’re unable to join us, but we would be delighted to celebrate with you, sans-kids.

• Where should I stay?

  In D.C., we have a group block at Riggs Washington D.C. (900 F Street NW). Silver Lyan, where we’re celebrating, is the bar right downstairs, so you can’t stay any closer. Reserve by October 14, 2026.

  For the Virginia ceremony, a hotel block is available at The Virginian. It’s roughly a 40 to 45 minute drive from our house. Reserve by September 27, 2026.

  See the Stay section for links and details.

• Is parking available?

  Yes. When you RSVP to the D.C. celebration, let us know if you’ll need parking and we’ll make sure you’re set.

• Will there be seating?

  Silver Lyan is an intimate space with limited seating, so plan to be on your feet and mingling for much of the night.

• How do I RSVP?

  Just fill out the RSVP form on this site. Kindly reply by October 15th. Changed your mind before then? No problem, simply resubmit the form any time up to October 15th and your latest answer is the one that counts.

• What about gifts?

  Your presence is the greatest gift of all. If you’d like to contribute, we’ve set up two honeymoon funds close to our hearts, linked in the Gifting section. Cards are always welcome too, and we’ll have a card box on hand at the event.

• Will Rheia be there?

  Of course. The Virginia ceremony is at our home, and she has a very important role to play.

  Sadly she’s sitting out the D.C. celebration, but she sends her love and a tail wag.
