We are overwhelmed with love! The past few weeks of hearing your well wishes and reading your cards and texts have made us feel held and so, so grateful.
You are the people that raised us, brought us together, and continue to support us, and for that we are forever thankful!
We're working on it - official thank yous coming to your mail box soon!
Please add your photos to our shared Wonton Wedding album, or text them to Michelle or Ralph! The album has some behind-the-scenes shots and previews from our photographer, too.
Michelle also has access to a few other shared albums (Apple albums, the tea ceremony Dropbox, and more). Just ask!
Good-vibes-only songs for your next cocktail hour or dinner party.
A custom Wordle created by Michelle that we forgot to send out the morning of!
The clue is: "We spent the last bit of our first date here!"
On Thursday, Michelle's mom cut and dyed BOTH our heads of hair so we were looking fresh! (Thanks mom!)
On Friday, we cut a whole bunch of flowers for the wedding from Cheryl's garden! We also found out our florist was not actually in Rhode Island anymore but in Connecticut, so James & Annabel courageously made the drive to pick up the remaining flowers. (Thank you both!)
Catherine (maid of honor) drew the flowers from the wedding dress that made it onto the programs! She also planned the cutest bridal afternoon!
These surprise cards also featured actual flowers from Michelle's wedding dress!

It's a portmanteau of our names --
WONg + LawTON + we’re having a wedding!
(No, we’re not changing our names to Wonton, but we thought it would be cute for this website URL.)
Since moving to the Northeast, we've traveled down for countless anniversaries, day trips, and races together here.
We even celebrated one anniversary by this lighthouse! We hope you'll love Newport as much as we do!
Michelle drew them! Ralph picked the paper & design! Then we used an awesome company called Peonies in VN to make them!
Cliff walk is an adorable public coastal path, any of the Newport Mansions for a historical adventure, Barcino and Giusto for a nice meal!
