Black-tie optional. Please don’t stress about your attire! We like to dress-up, but we want our guests to feel comfortable. The Frist Learning Center is a brick courtyard, so any footwear will work.

There will be rehearsal dinner for members of the wedding party and family only. This will be followed by welcome drinks for out-of-town guests. You will receive a separate invitation for this.

What is NMDP and why will there be a bone marrow drive at the wedding?

I’m so glad you asked! NMDP stands for the National Marrow Donor Program and it is a nonprofit organization that operates the Be The Match Registry of volunteer stem cell donors in the United States. Annie is a bone marrow transplant nurse practitioner and, thus, wholeheartedly supports their cause. To honor her patients, Annie and David are hosting a “swab drive” during cocktail hour at the reception to encourage eligible guests to join the registry. Please follow the link below to find out more information on NMDP’s mission and donor requirements.
