We're getting married
Chapter one · Versailles, France
"Under the Temple of Love, with Cupid as our witness."
On a picturesque afternoon on the grounds of Versailles, Glendon got down on one knee in the rotunda of the historic Temple de l'Amour beneath the sculpted gaze of Cupid. It was an instant "Yes!" filled with joy, laughter, and romance.
After getting engaged at the Temple of Love, it only felt destined that we would celebrate our wedding on Valentine’s Day weekend.
Chapter two · The wedding day
Saturday, February 13, 2027 · 4:00 PM · Peppertree Park, Aliso Viejo, CA
We'll say our vows on the lawn at Peppertree Park, with the canyon behind us. Come by 3:30 PM to grab a seat; we start at 4:00 PM, sharp-ish.
From vows to the party: an easy 0.2 mi stroll along Peppertree and up Coastal Oak.

Our house, for drinks, dinner, and yard games. Rather drive? It's a minute away.
Drinks, dinner & yard games · From 5:00 PM at 45 Coastal Oak
Back to our place as the sun goes down: drinks in hand, dinner in the backyard, and yard games until things get competitive. February evenings get chilly, so bring a layer.
