Villa Dalmacija · Black tie optional

Villa Dalmacija sits in a walled garden on the southern slope of Marjan Hill, about fifteen minutes on foot from the old town. Built in 1914 as Villa Schiller and later Tito's summer residence, it has a colonnaded terrace around a central fountain, looking straight out over the sea. Sunset that evening is around 7:45.

Our Story

  1. Before 2023

    So close, all along

    For years, we kept narrowly missing each other: the same home state, even the same college internship, just a month apart. Then came Seattle, where we worked at the same company in the same building, yet somehow never crossed paths. Always nearby, never quite at the same time.

    It's a match

    In the end, it took Hinge to introduce two people living under the same roof. asking if the swimming on meant actual laps. Janet replied, and finally, our paths crossed.

  3. 2023 to now

    Passport stamps

    Since then, our trips together have become the thing we look forward to most. Here is every trip abroad we have taken together so far.

Know

When will the invitation arrive?

The official invitation will arrive in February 2027. Until then, this page is our save-the-date, and we'll add times, venues and the room block as they're confirmed.

Are children invited?

If your children are invited, we will have reached out to you directly.

Can I bring a guest?

Yes, you are welcome to bring a plus-one.

Should I plan a longer trip?

We'd love that. Hvar, Brač and Vis are a short catamaran ride away, Krka and Plitvice national parks make good day trips, and Dubrovnik is about three hours down the coast.

a note on the

Registry

No registry, and please, no gifts. Getting yourselves all the way to Split is more than enough.

That said, Kevin would like it noted for the record that points are always welcome. If you were going to open a new credit card anyway, ask Kevin for a referral link. There's one for nearly every card, and it comes free with an unsolicited opinion on which one you should get.

Every referral gets us a little closer to flying home in lie-flat seats.

This is half a joke, and there's truly no pressure. Only ask if a card genuinely makes sense for you, and please use credit responsibly.
