An intimate ceremony focused on connection, family, and the natural beauty of the desert. No traditional rules - We’re looking forward to sharing this time as we celebrate this new chapter.
A Different Kind of Celebration
We’ve decided to skip the stuffy traditions and do things our own way. We’re headed to Arizona to break some rules, make some memories, and we want our most valued people right there with us.
The Day of Our Union
Monday, September 21, 2026
The Vows
As the sun begins to set over the Scottsdale desert, we will gather at the ranch for our ceremony. We are so honored to have April’s father officiating as we join our lives together.
The Dinner
In true non-traditional fashion, we are skipping the formal reception. Instead, we will move immediately into the house for an intimate dinner following our vows.
The Celebration
For us, there is no single party or reception because these entire four days ARE the reception. We are breaking the rules to focus on connection, family, and the natural beauty surrounding us.
The 22nd: Our Sedona Adventure
While Emilio and April head to Sedona for their outdoor wedding portraits, you are invited to continue making yourselves at home at the ranch or head out on your own local adventure! We'll look forward to hearing all about it when we reconnect.
Attire
Rule #1: There are no rules.
