Philadelphia has a great public transit network! Our venues are all accessible along the Broad Street Subway Line.
Parking and driving in Philadelphia can be tricky, so you may want to use ride-shares rather than renting a car

FAQs
The 'Main Event' is happening in one of our favorite parks in Philadelphia, FDR Park.
​
We'll post the locations for the other events as soon as they're confirmed.
Where's the celebration happening?
When did Ray & Eric meet?
We met in Columbus, Ohio in January 2018. After eight months in person, and two years long distance, we moved to Philadelphia in July of 2020 for Ray's grad school!
Are you really wearing jeans to your wedding?
Yes, we are! A more formal event just didn't seem like our style, and so we hope you'll join us and dress for a park! You're welcome to come as formal or as casual as you prefer.
Do you have a registry?
We don't have a registry — the greatest present you could give us is your presence!
What precautions are you taking against COVID-19?
We are requiring all guests to be vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19. We have many loved ones who are immunocompromised and want everyone to feel safe. We specifically selected open-air, outdoor venues as well.

Can you explain those icons on the invite?
The "LOVE" statue is one of Philly's most famous spots! We both are deeply engaged in Philadelphia's communities organizing for justice and owe generations of protesters before us for even making this day possible!
Philadelphia's pretzels are famous — be sure to stop by the Philadelphia Pretzel Company while you're here!
We are avid bikers, and Philadelphia is a very bikeable city. We have a great and affordable bike-share program, Indego, if you're looking for a fun way to get around!
This is the Boathouse at FDR Park — where we're hosting our main celebration!
The Philadelphia Museum of Art (home to the Rocky Steps) is just a ten minute walk from our home in Spring Garden!

This is the logo for Philadelphia's public transit network, SEPTA, which we use almost every day. We are lucky to live in a city with a robust public transit system and are big supporters of improving the network to make the city more accessible.
It's the Liberty Bell — which you can see for free and easily in Old City, but if you want to see the crack, you need to wait in line (we have yet to take the time to wait!).
