Reception

Our Wedding

Colle and Ozzy met online in December of 2021, while living across the country from each other (Missouri and California). They quickly became best friends, getting to know each other despite the distance and talking every day. Ozzy flew to meet Colle for the first time several months later, and they instantly fell head over heels. Not knowing yet how possible it would be, they began dating long distance the next month, in August of 2022. It was hard to know how this relationship would succeed, but they didn't let fear or distance hold them back from love. They flew back and forth to spend time together as often as possible. Ozzy and Colle made the decision to move in together in California, closing that 3000 mile distance between them, in July of 2023. Zuzu, one of their kitties, did the drive with them and became an official California cat, along with her sisters, Gourd and Fig. Since then, Ozzy and Colle have lived happily in California. Ozzy proposed on New Year's Eve of 2024, and Colle excitedly said yes. They have traveled to multiple states together and love to go to festivals and concerts on occasion. Date nights always involve going to the movies or enjoying the West Coast sunshine. Mostly, though, they spend their days eating good food with good friends and appreciating how wonderfully life worked out for them.

The 15 Best Places to Buy a Suit

We ask all of our guests to wear Garden Party style attire that is Semi-Formal. For us, this means bright colors, floral and fun patterns, and breezy fabric suited for warm weather. This is a great chance to play with interesting textures and bring the essence of May into your outfit. Most of all, please wear what makes you feel like the most beautiful and confident version of yourself.We want to note that all guests should wear footwear appropriate for grass. We expect the weather to be fairly warm and sunny that day, so heavy fabrics might be a poor choice. In general, guests should wear dress shirts with a tie or a jacket, or a dress. No denim or white, please.
