the day
When and where is the wedding?
Saturday, October 10, 2026 at the Best Western Plus Lamplighter Inn, 591 Wellington Rd, London, Ontario. Guests arrive from 3:00 PM, the ceremony begins at 3:30 PM in the Atrium, and the reception follows at 5:00 PM in the Crystal Ballroom.What should I wear?
Semi formal: suits or jackets with trousers; cocktail dresses, jumpsuits or dressy separates. Our wedding party will be in greens and neutrals. Please leave white and ivory to the bride. Everything is indoors, but October evenings are cool — bring a layer for photos.Will there be a seat for me at the ceremony?
The Atrium is beautiful but small, so seating is limited and some guests will need to stand at the back. It will be a short ceremony, and we are grateful to have everyone there.Can I take photos?
Please do — photos, videos, and all the candid moments. The only ask is that you be mindful of our professional photographer during the ceremony. We'd love for you to share what you take with us afterwards.Is there parking?
Yes, parking is available on site at the Lamplighter Inn.
the evening
What's for dinner?
Dinner is served buffet-style: slow-roasted Ontario beef, seared grain-fed chicken, and a selection of accompanying sides. Tell us about any dietary restrictions or a vegetarian request when you RSVP and we’ll take care of it.Is there an open bar?
It's a cash bar, available throughout the evening, with a selection of drinks for purchase by cash or card.What is the Prosperity Dance?
A Filipino tradition we’ll be sharing at the reception. Family and friends are invited onto the dance floor to pin a monetary gift to our clothes as a wish for good fortune and abundance. Everyone is welcome, there is absolutely no obligation, and you are just as welcome to come and dance. Read more.Is there a registry?
No registry. Your presence is enough of a present to us — but if you insist on giving, a contribution toward our future together, or a donation to a charity of your choice, would mean a great deal.
