Will and Christina

We are very excited about this next chapter and so lucky to celebrate with y’all! Each of you have played a huge role in our lives, and in order to see as many of you as possible, we are doing our wedding celebrations a bit differently.

Our  “dream wedding” is to celebrate the world we have built together, mostly by recognising those who are important to us and have helped us build it. That includes friends, family, and mentors (i.e., you all!) spanning the US, Europe, Australia, and South Africa.

To ensure we can see (and, importantly, spend quality time with) as many of our loved ones as possible, we plan to host a number of separate engagement/post-wedding parties. Though each will take a different form, we see these parties as equal in sentimental value as the ceremony itself; an intimate ceremony will take place in May 2026 with just nuclear family in attendance.

To that end, each of our guests (you!) will be invited to an event in a place that (we hope!) is relatively convenient to you, and with people that you also know and love. We want to make sure you’re treated while you’re there—whether it be a dinner, a cocktail reception, or a garden party. We are tremendously excited to host you and give thanks for the roles you have played in our lives.

Please click on the event we have mentioned to you for details on how to RSVP. If you’d like to attend another event, please email us and we will check availability!

Princeton, NJ (USA): May 30 – May 31, 2026

We are officially getting married on May 29, 2026, and we are inviting our friends, family, and mentors for a weekend of celebration in the days following!

The “main event” will be a happy-hour style (standing) reception at The Meeting House (277 Witherspoon St, Princeton, NJ 08540) from 6-9pm on Saturday, May 30. We will then have an informal breakfast and day drinks the following day (Sunday, May 31, 9am onward) for folks who may still be in town.

The Princeton party will be spread out over two days, but there is no pressure/expectation that you will be able to stay the whole time! This form is broken out into separate RSVP sections so you can let us know what you can(not) make it to.

Further details about this event can be seen on this document here.

Since Will is moving to the Netherlands for work, we are actively trying to get rid of things before the move! With this in mind, if you feel so strongly inclined, there are two alternatives to gifts (again, with no pressure or expectation to do either of these!) that we would suggest:

1. We would love receiving letters, notes, or photos from you! We are going to keep a scrapbook of photos from the engagement parties, and we would love to have your contributions to commemorate this time. You may send anything to us through June 15, 2026 to our address in Princeton (751 Hibben Magie Road, Apt. 214, Princeton, NJ 08540).
2. We also have a “Rainy Date” fund! We try to regularly go on small dates for quality time, so you would be contributing to an outing for us as we settle into married life. For those in the US, you can send us funds via Venmo, Zelle (christina@pao.name), or a check/cheque to our address listed above. For those in the UK, please contact us for bank details!
