The Couple

Our story

On July 9, 2025, on the beach in Cape May, New Jersey — with a heart drawn in the sand and a bottle of champagne waiting — Casey asked, and Melanie said yes.

We can't wait to celebrate with the people who have been part of our story from the beginning. Replace this paragraph with your own — how you met, the proposal, whatever feels like you.

“And so the adventure begins —
we hope you'll be there for it.”

Questions

Frequently asked

Please RSVP by April 15, 2027 so we can finalize catering and seating. The RSVP button at the top and bottom of this page takes you right to the form.

We'd love to celebrate with everyone, but our venue limits us to the guests named on your invitation. Your invitation will say “and guest” if a plus-one is included.

We love your little ones, but this will be an adults-only celebration. We hope the advance notice helps you plan a fun night out!

Garden formal — suits, cocktail dresses, or floor-length gowns. The ceremony is outdoors on grass, so consider block heels or flats. Evenings in the mountains can be cool; a light layer is a good idea.

Yes — free parking on site at Tiffin Farm. If you plan to enjoy the bar, consider a designated driver or rideshare back to Charlottesville.

The celebration moves under cover at the farm — same schedule, same address, still beautiful.

We're having an unplugged ceremony — please keep phones tucked away until after the kiss. Our photographer will share photos with everyone afterward, and we'd love your candids from the reception!

We hope you can join us
