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!
We ask that you please RSVP at wonton.wedding/#rsvp by July 1, 2026, unless your invite says otherwise.
If your travel plans have changed, please send us a text/Whatsapp/Viber/email mich.and.ralph@gmail.com — we totally understand!
Yes it is!
Parking is available on site, and we will have a validation station outside the ballroom.
Parking will be valid all of Sunday morning to the Monday morning, if you wanted to leave your car and come back for it. (We will be having an open bar if that influences your plans!)
