A little about us

Our Story

Life Together

The Mountains, Trails & the Road

Coryn and Brad have come a long way from the awkward 14-year-old kids who first met in French class (and arguably distracted each other more than they studied). Reconnecting decades later, their shared history, easy laughter, and love of the outdoors rekindled a connection that grew into a deep friendship, lasting love, and an incredible life together.

Whenever they have the chance, you'll find them hiking mountain trails, camping under the stars, chasing ridgelines, and finding peace among the trees. And when they're not escaping to the mountains, they're often cycling through the city as Brad somehow finds room for yet another bicycle in his collection.

Western North Carolina has always felt like home—a place they return to time and again to reconnect with nature and with each other. Because of that deep connection, they chose to elope among the Blue Ridge Mountains as they begin this next chapter together.

Home & Heart

Family, Fur & Adventure

When they're not on a trail, you'll likely find them at home in Atlanta with their two cats, Meeko and Jasper, and Brad's daughter, Charlie. Together, they've created a home filled with laughter, love, and the people—and pets—they cherish most.

Coryn's love of travel has taken her around the world, and together they have begun building adventures of their own. Their journey has already included unforgettable experiences, including a proposal in Vienna, Austria, during their very first international trip together—and many more adventures still to come.

"Buck Springs Gap, just down the road from the family house where Coryn spent many summers as a child, near Mount Pisgah — it was always the perfect place. A spot already full of memory and meaning, now the backdrop for the beginning of everything that comes next."

Answers to your questions

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the RSVP deadline?

We kindly ask that you RSVP no later than August 15, 2026.

When is the ceremony?

There will be a private ceremony on Friday followed by the reception on Saturday.

Can I bring additional guests?

All guests are welcome to bring their spouse or a plus one. Please indicate your guest in the online RSVP form.

What about children?

We are keeping things adults-only except for our immediate family, so please plan to join us for a fun adult night out!

What is the attire for the evening?

Cocktail. Smart outfits like cocktail dresses, elegant separates, or suits/sports coats with a tie, are requested.

Weather permitting, the celebrations will take place in a gravel courtyard. Flats, wedges, or chunky heels are recommended.

What's the rain plan?

We'll be moving inside the restaurant in case of inclement weather.

How should I travel to and from the restaurant?

There is ample public parking in surrounding parking garages in Decatur. We usually use the parking garage on W Trinity Place, which is only 2-3 minute walk from the restaurant.

That said, we are recommending guests to take an Uber & Lyft so they can join in the festivities (and the open bar)!

So...there's an open bar?

Absolutely! We plan to have an open bar for a few hours throughout the dinner with beer, wine, and cocktails. We do recommend bringing cash or a credit card along if you plan to attend the after-party, as drinks after the dinner won't be covered.

What time should I arrive?

Cocktail hour will begin at 6:30pm. Please plan to arrive no later than 7:00pm.

Are there hotel room blocks available for guests?

We're keeping things pretty intimate with very few out of town guests. If you will be traveling, we'd be happy to make some recommendations! There are hotels walking distance from the restaurant in Decatur, or we can recommend some fun places to stay closer in to Atlanta. Please reach out to Coryn!

Is there a wedding registry?

Insert cheesy "the gift is to celebrate with you" line here - but, really! We are pretty established at this point in our lives and are just excited to spend some time with our closest people.

If you'd really like to give a gift, we would love a contribution to a honeymoon fund. We're hoping to road trip some national parks in 2027! Other than that, we added a few "traditional" registry items that can be found on our website.
