We’ll be having two wedding celebrations, a small one in Philadelphia with Elena’s grandmother and our close family, and a larger celebration with more traditional wedding trappings (music, dancing, cake) at a location to be determined (probably in Boston or Maine) at a time to be determined (probably June 2024).
Here is information about the Philadelphia wedding event (don’t worry, we’ll have cake here, too):
- Pre-wedding dinner, June 10, location TBD (somewhere nearby). We will have limited capacity so may limit this to people coming from out-of-town.
- Wedding ceremony, June 11, The Quadrangle, 3300 Darby Rd, Haverford, PA 19041. 10:30 a.m., followed by a bagel brunch.
- There are a number of hotels all of which are about a 20 minute drive from the Quadrangle. We’ll be staying here if you’d like to join us.
- The Quadrangle is about a 25 minute drive from the Philadelphia airport or 30th Street station; it’s in the “deep suburbs” but you can get there on transit if you don’t mind walking a mile.
- What to wear? Whatever you’d like! Elena may or may not wear a white dress, Ari saw an excuse to buy a suit, but please wear whatever you feel best in. We’ll have a photographer taking photos of everyone, we hope that includes a great photo of you. (And, yes, us as well.)
Please RSVP here! We will send out more details as follows.
Gifts: we are two 30-somethings who combined households and, for the most part, have everything that we need. We will also have a more comprehensive registry for our celebration next year. However if you are so inclined to get us something now, we’ve put together a short list of “things we certainly wouldn’t mind having” here, if you do get us something, please make sure to mark “given” so that we don’t get two of the same thing! If you’d like to contribute to our as-to-be-determined honeymoon, it’s probably just as easy to venmo us rather than pay extra fees to a honeymoon site that we’d have to set up.
