A note from us
As we prepare to exchange our vows, we wanted our wedding to be more than just an event. We wanted it to be a celebration shared with the people who have witnessed our story, supported our relationship, and helped shape who we are today.
If you're receiving this invitation, please know that your presence in our lives means more than words can express. Thank you for being part of our story.
We can't wait to celebrate with you.
Rio & Jay
Where & when
The timeline
Please arrive on time. One of the greatest gifts you can give us is your presence from beginning to end. We've planned every part of the day, and it would mean the world to share those moments with you.
From golden hour
to starlight
One evening, six moments. Scroll with us as the afternoon turns into night, and you'll see why we'd love you to stay for all of it.
Guest Arrival
Please be here by 4:00 so you can get seated, grab a cool refreshment and settle in while the entourage lines up and we get everything ready. We start right on time.
The Ceremony
We say "I do" under the open sky, surrounded by the people who matter most to us. Phones down, hearts open.
Refreshments and drinking water will be on hand throughout.
Cocktail Hour
Catch up, wander and explore. We've set up plenty of booths to keep you company, with appetizers going around while you meet everyone.
Reception & Dinner
A simple, heartfelt celebration over dinner, with speeches, our first dances and the Prosperity Activity.
The sound of our night
Some of our favorite musicians will be with us, from the very first note to the very last song.
What gets you on the dance floor?
Share a song and we'll consider it for our after-party playlist. We can't promise every request, but we'll do our best!

We prefer meaningful connections over large crowds, so we're keeping our wedding intimate. No plus ones, please. If you're receiving this, thank you for being one of those people.
Unplugged ceremony
Please keep phones, cameras and devices away during the ceremony. Our photographers and videographers will capture every moment. Snap away at the reception and after party!
On gifts
Your love and presence are truly all we ask for. Should you wish to bless us, a monetary contribution toward our future would be sincerely appreciated. We'll hold a Prosperity Activity during the reception where gifts may be given.
