Two strangers, one umbrella
A sudden downpour at a Saturday farmers market in East Nashville. Jordan had an umbrella; Sam had a flat of strawberries and no plan. We shared both.

until we say “I do”
A note from us
Eight years, one very small apartment, a little blue house and a cat with strong opinions later, we're getting married — in a barn under the magnolias, a winding half hour south of Nashville.
Everything you need for the weekend is right here: the schedule, where to stay, how to get there, and a spot to tell us what you're eating and which song will get you dancing.

01 · Spring 2019
A sudden downpour at a Saturday farmers market in East Nashville. Jordan had an umbrella; Sam had a flat of strawberries and no plan. We shared both.

02 · Summer 2019
Our first date was meant to be a quick coffee. The café closed around us, and we kept talking on the curb until the streetlights came on.

03 · Fall 2022
A creaky porch, a fiddle-leaf fig that refuses to die, and a living room we painted three times. We learned we can build furniture without arguing. Mostly.

04 · Winter 2023
A rescue tabby with a torn ear and strong opinions. He picked us at the shelter by sitting on Sam's keys and refusing to move. He runs the house now.

05 · Spring 2026
On a quiet morning hike at Radnor Lake, Sam stopped at the overlook, fumbled with a very small box and asked. Jordan said yes before the question was finished.

We'd love for you to be there when we say it out loud — under the magnolias, surrounded by everyone we love.

Saturday's venue
The Magnolia Barn · 4150 Old Hillsboro Rd, Leiper's Fork, TN 37064Free parking in the lower lot; a golf cart runs guests up to the meadow from 3:15.
Kick off the weekend with local beer, lemonade and a few Southern bites. Come straight from the airport — everyone is welcome, no invitation needed.
Please arrive by 3:40 so we can start right on time. This is an unplugged ceremony — phones away, hearts open. Our photographer has it covered.
Two signature drinks — “The Evergreen” and “The Fifth of June” — lawn games, and a bluegrass trio while we sneak off for photos.
Family-style dinner at long tables, a few short toasts (we promise), then the dance floor opens. Your song requests from the RSVP make the playlist.
Grab a sparkler on your way out and light up the path as we leave. Then, home safe.
Drop in any time until 12:30 for biscuits, strong coffee and one last hug before the road home.

Prefer a cottage?
Leiper's Fork and downtown Franklin are full of charming rental cottages and farmhouses. June books up fast — reserve early, and the Saturday shuttle can stop at the inn for you.

Good to know
We adore your little ones, but this is an adults-only celebration (nursing babies excepted). Ask us — we have a list of trusted local sitters.
If your invitation says “and guest,” absolutely — add them when you RSVP. Otherwise we're keeping it to the names on the envelope so we can fit everyone in the barn.
The ceremony moves inside the barn with the big doors thrown open. We'll text everyone by noon on Saturday if we switch. (It rained the day we met — we consider it good luck.)
We're having an unplugged ceremony — please keep phones tucked away so you're fully there with us. Snap away from cocktail hour on. We'll share the full gallery here afterward.
Garden formal: suits or dresses in soft, light colors. The ceremony is on grass, so block heels or flats will be your friend. Evenings in June are warm — leave the wool at home.
Paths are gravel and grass. A golf cart will run between the lot, the meadow and the barn all evening — just wave down anyone in an evergreen tie.
Leave us a line
A memory, a wish, a piece of advice. We'll read every one on the drive to Portugal.
Only if you'd like to
Your being there is the real gift. If you'd like to add something, here's what we're dreaming about.
A slow week on the coast of Portugal — long lunches, a sailboat and absolutely no alarms.
