Dress Code
Dearest friends and family, step into our winter lavender garden fairytale - Formal attire will keep the evening polished and cozy.
For the Ladies
Soft pastels are encouraged—gentle hues worthy of a princess promenade. Think Disney magic meets Bridgerton—to match the dreamy lavender backdrop.
​
For the Men
Suits or tuxedos, please. Timeless, and ready for a waltz—leave the jeans and sneakers for another day.
​
Colors to Kindly Avoid
Neons (too modern for the ton), anything overly loud, and shades reserved for the bride (ivory, or white).
Our Story
Janzen and Stephanie’s story began as a simple friendship—one that quietly blossomed into something far greater. Over 13 years, their bond deepened from friends, to best friends, to soulmates, and now—forever.
Through life’s ups and downs, their friendship remained unshakable, carrying them through every season.
​
When love finally revealed itself, fate added a challenge: Stephanie moved to Las Vegas to pursue her career.
Yet instead of letting distance divide them, they chose patience and trust, knowing that true love would find its time.
​
And it did. When Stephanie returned to the Bay, their hearts found home in each other. In April 2020, at the very start of an uncertain world, their story of “forever” officially began.
​
God's unending love is the center of their relationship. They matured, grew, accepted, and fell deeper in love - learning that, "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. " – 1 Corinthians 13:4
Plan Your Trip
By Car
We highly recommend driving to the wedding. This part of California is more rural, which makes ride shares, taxis, and Ubers tricky to come by.
If you’re flying in, car rentals are available at SFO, or at MCE airport if you’re arriving locally.
By Flight
Recommended International Airport: San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
Recommended Local Airport:
Merced Regional Airport (MCE)

Registry
We’re incredibly lucky to already have most of the household things we need (and way too many coffee mugs). Instead of a traditional registry, we’ve set up a cash registry to help us start this new chapter together —whether that’s our honeymoon, making a home, or growing our family. We are so grateful for your love and support!
