Sam Final Wedding Invitation (2)_edited.png

Where Forever Begins

Some love stories deserve to be celebrated in style — and ours is no exception. You're here because you hold a place in our hearts that no one else could fill, and we wouldn't dream of beginning this chapter without you. This is your guide to our wedding day: where to be, what to wear, where to stay, and how to let us know you're coming.

Every Beautiful Beginning

The moment we've been waiting for...

How it started

It all started with a like. Then another. Then, let's be honest, every single picture she ever posted. She'll happily admit she did her fair share of online "research" before finally gathering the courage to slide into her DMs — smooth, a little bold, and hoping she wouldn't notice the trail of likes she left behind. She noticed. Lucky for her, she messaged back anyway. What began as late-night conversations across a screen quickly turned into something neither of them could ignore, so Sam booked a trip to come see her in person. From the moment she arrived, that was it — inseparable, hopelessly hooked, completely at home in each other. Then Sam did the bravest, most beautiful thing of all: she packed up her whole life, brought her son along for the adventure, and took a leap of faith on a love that started with a click. And here we are, proof that sometimes the best chapters begin with a little stalking, one well-timed DM, and a heart brave enough to say yes. We can't wait to celebrate it all with you.

Venue

the

Vidrio Raleigh

Nestled in the heart of downtown Raleigh on Glenwood South, Vidrio is a space that commands attention the moment you walk through the door. Its name means "glass" in Spanish — and true to that, the venue dazzles with handblown glass installations, shimmering suspended artwork, and a luminous, art-filled interior that feels both metropolitan and deeply intimate. The second-floor private event space carries its own quiet drama: warm lighting, a contemporary fireplace, floor-to-ceiling windows, and one-of-a-kind backdrops that make every moment feel like a scene worth remembering. Infused with Mediterranean warmth and an undeniable sense of style, Vidrio is not just a venue — it is an atmosphere. And it is exactly where we choose to say "I do."

Arrival: Paid street parking is available along Glenwood Avenue and the surrounding side streets, with a convenient pay-to-park garage just around the corner off Tucker Street. We recommend arranging group transportation or a rideshare for a seamless arrival — so you can step out, look stunning, and let the evening begin without a second thought.
