Wedding Party

Wedding: Black Tie Optional

For the Wedding, it is black tie optional. We’d love to see everyone dressed up! Tuxedos and formal gowns are encouraged, but a dark suit with a tie or an elegant cocktail or long dress is just as perfect.

Welcome Party: Dressy Casual or Cocktail Attire

For the Welcome Party, Dressy casual or cocktail attire. Think chic, relaxed, and ready for a rooftop evening. Flowy dresses, skirts, or elevated sets for woman, and button-downs or polos with slacks for men. Since we'll be on a rooftop, we recommend comfortable shoes and bringing a light layer for the evening.

Things to Do

Registry

I love you to mars and back!

Our love started 6 years ago at ECU where we met and immediately became friends. Gaby decided to friend zone Andrew for a wonderful year and a half but Andrew's persistence and Gaby's realization that she liked me, the friendship elevated to the next level. On September 20th, 2019, we saw Nacho a Venezuelan singer in Charlotte, on the car ride home I asked Gaby to be my girlfriend, and after a long and agonizing 5 minutes of silence she said yes! From there, we have been in love ever since! Through undergrad and graduate school, through the pandemic, through tackling life head on, and through all the ups and downs; we grew and grew and grew. Now here we are, engaged, and ready to celebrate this next chapter of our book on September 20th with yall!
