Wedding Day

Hello!If you are here, that means we LOVE YOU.We are about to get married and we’d really like you to be there. This website should provide you with the necessary information to attend. Check the Schedule page for event times and locations, and feel free to reach out with any questions.

Our Wedding

ROXANNE WALKER is named for the female lead in Edmond Rostand’s 1897 play Cyrano de Bergerac. A précieuse like her namesake, her beauty and magnetism are matched only by the deadly precision of her wit. She, too—tragically—fell in love with the musings of a man with a rather large nose (more on him below).Roxanne is otherwise known for hiking hundreds of miles at a time, breaking colts as a wrangler on dude ranches and saving small animals.

THE BRIDE

SALVATORE (MAX) BROWN is named after his Sicilian grandfather, Salvatore Giarratana, who came to America on a boat. The Brown side were at the first Thanksgiving, Tea Party, and the Witch Trials. To further confuse matters, he often goes by his middle name— Max. Pardon said confusion for the uninitiated. At the wedding, you may call him Max, Sal, Cyrano de Brown, The Groom, Groomzilla, or that guy next to Roxanne. He likes long walks on the beach, candlelit dinners with Roxanne, and movies.

It's now a National Historic Landmark... a labyrinthine maze of stunning early American industrial architecture... a forever home for the many ghosts of pre-OSHA laborers past... and, clearly, the only real choice for our rehearsal dinner! Tours of the furnace will be offered periodially throughout the night, so get your tetnis shots!Come listen to live music, speeches and toasts, a healthy amount of haranguing, and chow down on Miss Myra's famous pit BBQ-- a local institution that has served generations of Roxanne's family, and will continue to serve generations to come if Max has anything to do with it.

WHAT ABOUT TRANSPORTATION?We will have buses that will take you to and from CAMP DAY and the WEDDING/RECEPTION. The buses will pick up and drop off at the Elyton Hotel. If you’re staying there, easy peasy. And if you’re staying nearby (the other hotels on our list are about one block away), it’s very easy to walk on over and hop on the bus!Thursday’s WELCOME MINGLE at the cinema is walking distance from those hotels (it’s about 1-2 blocks).Friday’s REHEARSAL DINNER is also downtown, but a little further than walking distance! We recommend an Uber/Lyft for this one.
