let's call a spade a spade
ALL IN ON LOVE,
NOT ON YOUR WALLET
Listen, we'd love nothing more than to have our favorite people witness us say "I still do" in Sin City. But let's call a spade a spade – we know asking you to trek to Vegas in June is a big ask.
We're keeping this refreshingly simple.
Here's the deal:
No five-course ordeal. No assigned seating drama. No obligatory cha cha slide. No pretending you're still having fun at hour six.Just some Vegas-style entertainment that'll make you blush, a quick ceremony (under an hour, tops), and a cute little Italian dinner with drinks where we can actually talk to each of you.If Vegas is calling your name and you want to make a weekend of it – fantastic. If you'd rather save your PTO and poker money for something else – we get it.This is about celebrating a decade of the greatest love story ever told, obviously – not about putting you out.
let's get into it
THE RUNDOWN:
CEREMONY
30-ish minutes of vows and Vegas flair, followed by photos with the performers, vintage photo booth fun, and soaking in that downtown Vegas charm.
DINNER
Good food, great drinks, better company (no scheduled toasts, but no promises)
VIBE
Dress to impress (yourself, mostly)
WHO
21+ only (Vegas rules, not ours)
PRESSURE?
Absolutely none :)
we get it. we really do.
A GENTLE PSA
If you already know Vegas isn't in the cards for you, we'd love a heads up sooner rather than later. No explanation needed – just a quick "can't make it" helps us plan. We promise we'll still love you.
(But if you're so there – keep going. 👀)
ONE HELL
OF A
DECADE
ABOUT THE ENTERTAINMENT
GET YOUR ASS TO VEGAS AND SHOW US HOW YOU burlesque
Yes, there will be a burlesque performance during our ceremony.
Because Vegas.
What to Expect:
Our talented performer will be delivering a professional routine that involves artistic partial nudity – think classic Vegas showgirl meets modern artistry. No full nudity, but definitely plenty of sparkle, skin, and sophistication.
Come Prepared:
Hit the ATM before you arrive.
$5 - $10 in Singles per person is very highly encouraged (our polite way of saying basically expected) for tipping our performer. Any extra singles can be used for the vintage photo booth (but don’t worry, she takes all major credit cards in case you throw all your singles).This is Vegas entertainment done right – interactive, elegant, and just risqué enough to make your conservative relatives clutch their pearls.
♠️ ♥️ ♣️ ♦️If tasteful burlesque isn't your vibe, we totally get it – but this is part of what makes our celebration uniquely us. Consider yourself lovingly warned.When in Vegas, right?♠️ ♥️ ♣️ ♦️
DRESS CODE
OUTSHINE THE BRIDE
(Yes, you read that right,)
Forget everything your mother taught you about wedding etiquette. We're flipping the script.For one night only, we're begging you to break the cardinal rule of weddings. We want you to show up looking so good, people forget whose vow renewal it is. Think of it as our gift to you – finally, a wedding where you can wear that outfit that's been "too much" for every other occasion.
DRESS CODE (CONT)
THE RULES
(Or better yet, lack thereof.)
Go Big or Go Home
That sequined jacket collecting dust? Wear it. Those shoes that make you feel like Beyoncé? Required. The outfit you tried on and thought "maybe this is too much"? It's not.
Color Us Impressed
White is fair game. So is neon. And metallics. And that print you've been saving for "the right occasion."
This is it.
More is More
Layer those accessories. Mix those patterns. If you've been waiting for permission to be extra, consider this your hall pass.
The Vibe Test
If you look in the mirror and think "I could attend the Met Gala in this," you're doing it right. If you think "Is this appropriate for a wedding?" you're asking the wrong question.
BUT HERE'S THE CATCH
You don't need to break the bank to break the rules.
Vintage finds, borrowed bling, that dress you wore to your cousin's NYE party – if it makes you feel like the goddess/god you are, it's perfect.
This once again isn't about breaking the bank; it's about being a vibe.
And let's be real...
It's June in Vegas. If your version of feeling like a star doesn't include sweating through a three-piece suit or melting in a velvet blazer, we fully support that. Comfort and confidence are the ultimate accessories.
Dress for the desert, shine like the Strip.
After a decade of marriage, we've realized the best celebrations are when everyone feels like the star of the show. Plus, Natalie's wearing white again – so someone needs to bring the color.

THE FINE PRINT
(aka Things to Know So We Don't Get Kicked Out)
Sure Thing Chapel
5:00 PM - 6:00 PM
1110 E Fremont St, Las Vegas, NV 89101
Timing is Everything
Please don't arrive more than 5 minutes early – there's likely another couple ahead of us living their Vegas fantasy. And absolutely DO NOT be late. This isn't fashionably late territory – the chapel runs a tight ship and we can't hold up the next couple's moment. Free street parking available.
Chapel Rules (We Didn't Make Them)
• No food or drinks (water bottles with lids are cool)
• No confetti, glitter, or anything that sheds – yes, this means check your outfit for rogue sequins, feathers, or beads that might jump ship
• Show up sober(ish) – the chapel reserves the right to bounce anyone who's already had too much fun
THE IN BETWEEN
The ceremony is in downtown Vegas, dinner is at Town Square – about 20 minutes apart. Don't worry, we've built in plenty of time between "I still do" and "pass the breadsticks" for you to make the journey (and maybe grab a cocktail somewhere in between).

ALL THE DEETS ON DINNER
Get ready to carb-load, Vegas style. We're talking classic Italian that'll make your nonna jealous (or proud, depending on her mood).The Feast:
You'll be ordering off a special menu at the restaurant – no advance meal selections needed because we're keeping it spontaneous like that. Choose your own adventure, but make it pasta.Dietary Drama? We Got You:
Vegan? Gluten-free? Allergic to everything but air? Other special dietary needs that make ordering at restaurants feel like negotiating a hostage situation? Relax. We've got options for everyone. Nobody's leaving hungry on our watch.The Liquid Situation:
First two hours = unlimited beer and wine on us. After that, you're on your own, high rollers. Liquor will also be available for purchase at any time of the night. Pace yourselves or don't – we're not your parents.And yes, there will be cake. Obviously. What are we, savages?Mangia, mangia! 🍝
Book Your Room Early
Seriously, don't sleep on accommodations. While Vegas tourism is having a moment of chill right now, next summer is expected to be anything but. The US is hosting the World Cup and even though Vegas isn't an official host city, tourism is projected to surge everywhere. Get your room locked in before prices go full Vegas on you.
