Questions and Answers!

Are children invited to the wedding?

We adore your children, but due to space and planning considerations, we are unable to invite children to our wedding. Thank you so much for understanding.

Can I bring a guest/date?

If you received a plus one, you will have the option of a guest on your RSVP on the website. Otherwise, we would love to keep the wedding an intimate event with family and close friends.

Is there parking on site?

Yes there is concrete parking on site! However if you are planning on consuming alcohol, we suggest carpooling or taking an uber/lyft.

Are there any colors guests should avoid wearing?

Our bridal party will be wearing light pink, so please refrain from wearing light pink, or a similar color, as we wish for our bridal party to stand out. In addition to this, please do not wear white, ivory, cream, or a similar shade.

Can I take photos at the ceremony?

We are having an unplugged ceremony (no phones or cameras) The greatest gift you can give us is to be fully present as we say "I do." We have hired professionals to capture this moment for us. However, feel free to take as many pictures and videos as you'd like, after the ceremony.

Psalms 126:3

"Yes, the Lord has done great things for us; and we are filled with joy."

Our Wedding

Cade and Trissity knew they were meant to be from the very start. Their story began in downtown Nashville, sparked by Cade’s unwavering confidence as he tried—more than once—to get Trissity’s phone number. She initially turned him down, determined not to meet someone in a bar, but God clearly had other plans. When they reconnected later, everything fell into place, and they fell for each other instantly.Together, Cade and Trissity love spending time at the lake, discovering new restaurants, binging new TV shows, traveling to new places, and enjoying the occasional karaoke night. If you see one of them, chances are the other isn’t far behind—they start missing each other the moment they’re apart.Their relationship is beautifully guided by the Lord, and they’re committed to keeping Him at the center of their lives and their love, always.
