Our Story

We met in college, and though it took a little time for us to find our way to each other, everything fell into place in the most beautiful, unexpected way.

I realize how easy it is to take moments like this for granted, but what I’ve come to understand is that the choice to commit to each other, to build a life and a family together, is incredibly special.

The love that has grown between us is silly, resilient, and uniquely ours. It's a partnership that means the world to us and to our daughter.

We could've walked away, or taken separate paths from the beginning, but we're here. We're here and we want to celebrate with you. So let’s make some memories, and yes, let’s get a little weird.

Itinerary

11:30: Park and begin finding your way to the Chapel

12:30: Be seated at the Cathedral Chapel

12:45: Groom Arrives

1:00: Bride Arrives

1:30-3: Reception

3-Whenever: Enjoy the Renaissance Festival

Pending a "yes" RSVP, your invitation will include a full day pass to the Texas Renaissance Festival on November 8th.

The wristband(s) included in your invitation is NOT your ticket. Tickets will be sent to you once you have confirmed that you can come. The wristband is to help the venue staff determine who can be let into the chapel, so please do your best to not lose or forget it.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: The festival is HUGE. You will need to be seated at our venue at 12:30, so we've prepared a little timing cheat sheet for you so you can plan accordingly. These times are at a "distracted but brisk walking pace".

15 minutes: Parking to front gate

10 minutes: Through the front gate (there can be a line)

30-35 minutes: Gate to Chapel

Meaning, parking here at 11:30 is cutting it TIGHT. Traffic can get pretty sticky close to 10-11am, so I would get here as early as possible. Get some breakfast. Find the chapel before you have to be seated. Explore. Personally, I like to start with a brisket baked potato from booth 22 in England (followed by some very strong strawberry daiquiris), but the choice is yours!

You will arrive at the ceremony at 12:30. The ceremony will be at the Cathedral Chapel. Your invitation says "English Cathedral Chapel", but it's the same thing. Be sure to follow the map (feel free to screen shot it on the Ren Fest 101 tab) to know where you're going. There will be a Kingsguard there to make sure you are in the right place. Be sure to wear the Hudson Wedding wristband to show that you are part of our wedding. (On-lookers sometimes try to sneak in). Connor and his groomsmen will enter shortly after everyone is seated. Sit and enjoy the music!

I will arrive at the ceremony with Dad and the bridal party promptly at 1pm.

After the ceremony, we (Groom/Bridal Party and Immediate Family) will take some quick pictures and then head over to the reception hall at the Lady Rose Pavilion.

After that (about 3:15), the day is YOURS to enjoy! We will be distributing walkie talkies because cell reception at Ren Fest is brutal. Walkie talkies will be used to communicate in case anyone wants to meet up for dinner. This venue is large so please enjoy, frolic, be merry. Be sure to throw some tomatoes, watch a joust, and even stay for the fire works.
