Durham is part of the famed Research Triangle in North Carolina, and home to Duke University where Cliff and NJ first met.
For those coming from outside of the Southeast United States, the closest airport is Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU), which is a 25 minute drive from Duke’s campus and the hotels we’ve recommended.

There's no shortage of things to do in Durham! Some ideas are listed below.
We request that all of our loved ones who celebrate us in-person be fully vaccinated, including boosters if applicable. While we understand that not everyone is willing or able to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, we ask that those who have not been vaccinated celebrate us from afar in the interest of our safety and that of our guests and vendors. We currently plan to conduct rapid testing for all guests on the day of our wedding for everyone’s comfort. While we plan to provide tests, we certainly appreciate those who bring their own tests with them to be taken on the day of the ceremony, though this is not necessary.
Your presence on our wedding day is the greatest gift of all, and we're blessed with all of life's necessities to start our life together. Please know that gifts are not necessary, but should you wish to help us celebrate with a gift, we have created a registry, charitable donations links, and newlywed funds for our future adventures.
If you feel moved to give a gift, please keep in mind that we live on the other side of the country (almost exactly), which means a virtual or monetary gift is much easier than a physical gift.
Cliff and NJ met while attending Duke University, where their wedding will be held. They were introduced when a mutual friend invited them to the same party. Was it intentional? Was a secret scheme afoot? Only Jamal McFarlane knows (feel free to ask him if you see him), but in any case over 12 years later they’re still inseparable.
We had a lot of fun with our save the dates. We made four different versions and randomly sent them out to friends and family. Click on any of the images below to see the full version.
