ALICIA & JASON
In October 2018, Alicia had just returned home from a solo trip to Sedona (think ‘Eat-Pray-Love’ vibes) and Jason just planted his roots back in Costa Mesa after intermittently traveling nationally and internationally for professional poker.
They came across each other’s profiles on a dating app called Bumble. And of course, they both swiped right. He noticed her pretty face (his words, not hers lol) and she noticed that he claimed to have multiple dinners a night (which they still haven’t done together yet)! She had a good feeling about him.
They met up at a restaurant bar for some casual drinks on Halloween night. He didn’t show up in a banana costume as promised! But they hit it off from the start.
She ordered a vodka soda. He ordered a drink that came out on a wooden tray with a fancy cloud of smoke surrounding the glass. In that moment, she knew he was extra, just like her :)
They hung out and talked for hours on their first date - going to multiple locations because places kept closing early (it was a weeknight). Needless to say, they fell in love!
They recently celebrated their 3rd anniversary where they recreated that date night - traveling to all the same places they did on the night they met.

Classy cocktail dresses (floor length, tea length, or midi) or pantsuit for the ladies.

*Ladies please note: The reception is held in a greenhouse with mostly dirt floors (except dance floor) - so you may want to opt for chunkier heals, wedges, platforms, or closed toed pumps!!!
DRESS CODE FOR WELCOME RECEPTION?
"Elevated Casual"
What you would wear for an adult night out!
CAN I DRIVE INTO THE VENUE?
Unfortunately you cannot drive into the venue. We will provide transportation from The Leta Hotel (Goleta, CA) starting at 3pm on 9/3/22. IF NEEDED, you may be dropped off (Uber or Lyft)!
WHAT'S THE FORECAST?
In September we will enjoy cool with mostly clear skies with temperatures in the low 56°F/high 76°F. There is a reason they say that Southern California has the "best climate in the world"! We do however recommend bringing a jacket or coat for the evening.
ARE CHILDREN INVITED?
The Wedding is an adult only affair. We appreciate our family and friends' understanding, and we hope that you can take the opportunity to let your hair down and enjoy a weekend away!
