Registry
Dear Friends and Family,
As we prepare to embark on our new journey together, your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for! However, if you would like to contribute to our special day, we have created a Honeyfund instead of registering for traditional gifts. Your gift will help create unforgettable memories as we start our lives together.
To contribute, simply visit www.honeyfund.com/wedding/barnes-okumgba-07-29-2023, or CashApp $Smbarnes410.
Thank you for your love and support. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
With love and gratitude,
Stephanie and David

Q & A
For all our friends and family who have lots of questions, please check out our Q & A first!
When is the RSVP deadline?
Please RSVP by June 30th. This allows the couple to have an accurate headcount for food and beverages. Late RSVPs will be accepted up until the couple can no longer make changes with their vendors. However, you are encouraged to RSVP by 6/30/2023.
What if I choose not to RSVP?
We understand there may be last-minute changes, as our lives can be busy. However, if you do not RSVP, please do not show up at the event. We will share our video with you at a later date.
Do I have to RSVP for my kids?
Yes. The couple will need a headcount to ensure there are enough tables, chairs, food, and beverages for their guests. Please do not bring your kids without them being accounted for.
Can I bring a date?
Please check your invite to add your +1!
Can I invite other people?
This event is RSVP ONLY. We ask that you only bring your plus one, which can be added when you RSVP on our website.
Are kids welcome?
The bride and groom recognize that some of you will be traveling with your kids. We ask that children are quiet during the recorded ceremony. Crying babies, toddlers, and school-age kids should be removed immediately during the ceremony and reception. Please reach out if you have questions!
What will the weather be like?
Welcome to Houston, all of you out-of-towners! The weather here can be a bit humid in July. Bring out your linen fabrics and maxi dresses during your stay in the beautiful city of H-Town!
Are the ceremony and reception locations wheelchair accessible?
Yes, and bathrooms are located on the lower level.
Where should I park?
There is plenty of free parking at our venue.
What should I wear?
Cocktail/Casual Attire.
Feel free to wear our theme colors (Olive green, sage, cream, rose gold, or gray).
Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?
Our wedding ceremony is outdoors, but our reception will be indoors at the same location as our ceremony.
What kind of shoes should/shouldn't I wear?
Ladies, bring your flats just in case you decide to ditch your stilettos. Fellas, feel free to change into your comfortable shoes as well.
Is it okay to take pictures with our phones and cameras during the wedding?
Yes! However, please turn off your flash, as the couple has paid a professional photographer and videographer to capture their special day. Your flash could impact the quality of the couple's professional pictures. The couple would love for you to take photos and share them on the app Joy.
Whom should I call with questions?
Please email your questions to: david.stephaniewedding2023@yahoo.com
How will food and drinks be served?
Buffet Style/Open Bar - we want you to enjoy yourself.
What time should I arrive?
Please arrive at least 30-45 minutes before the start of the ceremony and enjoy the music selection from the couple while you interact with people you haven't seen in a while.
Will I have to pay for parking?
Parking is free!
Is there transportation being provided between reception and hotels?
No - Unfortunately, there were not enough guests who booked at the Hilton Garden Inn, as there had to be a set number of reservations to use the shuttle service.
I am coming from out of town. Where should I stay?
Please see our "Travel" section for details.
Does your wedding have a theme?
We are rocking out the "Boho" theme. Feel free to wear our theme colors (Olive green, sage, cream, rose gold, or gray).
