Our Wedding

When Should I RSVP By? 

Please RSVP by July 11, 2025. You can RSVP on this website by clicking the tab that says RSVP. If we don’t hear from you by then, we’ll assume you won’t be able to attend—but we’ll miss you!

Do You Have a registry?

Yes! We’re registered on Amazon. If you'd like, you can also contribute to our honeymoon fund via Venmo (@Austin-Brito-1) or Zelle (Austin: 954-292-4282). Gift cards are always appreciated too!&nbsp;

What Should I Wear? 

We’d love to see everyone dressed up to celebrate with us! The dress code for all events is semi-formal—a style that falls between cocktail attire and dressy casual.Think suits, dress shirts, ties, jumpsuits, dresses, or coordinated separates—whatever makes you feel confident and comfortable. Since the ceremony will take place outdoors in a park setting, we recommend wearing comfortable shoes suitable for grass and uneven ground. Fall colors are encouraged, and we kindly ask that no one wears white.

What Time Should I Arrive?

Our ceremony will begin promptly at 3:00 PM. We kindly ask all guests to arrive by 2:30 PM to make sure you’re seated on time and can enjoy the beautiful park setting before we begin.

Where Can I Park?

There will be reserved parking available right in front of our ceremony spot—Glen Artney Shelter #66 at Patapsco Valley State Park (Avalon Area). If you're using Uber or Lyft, please allow extra time in case it takes a while to find a driver. For the reception, you'll find both a parking garage and street parking near Smashing Grapes in Columbia.

What Do I Do If I Can't Make It?

We’ll miss you! If you’re unable to attend, please RSVP as “not attending” as soon as you can so we can plan accordingly. We understand and hope to see you soon!

Can i take pictures/record during the ceremony?

Since this is an intimate ceremony, we kindly ask that you join us in being fully present by honoring our UNPLUGGED CEREMONY. Once the ceremony begins, please silence and put away all phones and devices. We want this special moment to be shared with open hearts—not screens—and captured beautifully by our photographer. We promise to share the photos with you afterward.No recordings or live videos, please.

Will there be an event for all extended family members to attend?

While our wedding day will be a small, intimate celebration, we absolutely look forward to celebrating with our extended family.&nbsp;We’re looking forward to getting everyone together in 2026/2027.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us directly!&nbsp;
