Ashley & Eli

Our Engagement

Join the Siegel and Levin families as we celebrate Ashley and Eli's Engagement


Brunch will be served at 12:30 in the Afternoon
at Blu on the Hudson in Weehawken, NJ.


We cannot wait to celebrate our engagement in one of our favorite places,
where much of our love story began, overlooking the New York City skyline
(as if Ashley would have it any other place!)

Invitations for our Engagement Party were shared in early October
for our December celebration directly to guests' cell phones.

Near & Far

Your love and support mean the world to us.
We are thrilled to celebrate with those who can join us in person
and deeply grateful for those cheering us on from afar.
Please do not feel any pressure to travel,
your love travels farther than any flight could,
and we’re so grateful to feel your joy and support
for us as a couple wherever you are.

Cheers!

We're counting down the minutes to celebrate with all of you!

Q&A

Questions about our big day and everything in the lead up? Start here!

When is the big day?


We’re still deciding! Most likely either late 2026 or spring 2027. Once our hearts and calendars align, you’ll be the first to know.

Where will the wedding be?


We’re exploring a few places that feel like us — warm, meaningful, inclusive, and beautiful in spirit. Picture somewhere that pairs magical sunsets and picturesque views with vibrant culture and incredible food. It will likely be a destination celebration abroad, so if you’re dreaming up future travel plans, perhaps a European adventure, we’d love for our big day to be part of that journey. Once it’s official, we’ll share all the dreamy details.

Do you have a registry?


Your presence and support are the greatest gift.

We feel endlessly lucky to have all we truly need, love, laughter, jobs that we love and provide for us, and each other. Should you wish to give beyond your support, we’re saving for our honeymoon adventure and future family-building journey and you can find that on the "Registry" page of our website.

We’d be deeply grateful for contributions of any size, and/or for a gift made in our names to causes close to our hearts including
Advocates for Trans Equality, The Trevor Project, Out & Equal,
the ACLU, Zebra Youth, and Planned Parenthood.

We are deeply grateful for the love and generosity behind every gift,
in any form.

What should we know about how to address you or talk about your wedding?


We’re so glad you asked! Our wedding celebrates love and partnership and as such, we’ll be using Mx. and Mx., as well as words like spouses and partners.


We love terms like wedding, marriage, and celebration, but we gently ask that guests avoid gendered or traditional titles like husband and wife, Mr. and Mrs., or man and wife.


It’s not about formality, it’s about language that feels like us. We don't expect everyone to be experts, so please try your best and thank you for honoring and helping create a space where everyone feels seen, respected, and celebrated.

Will there be traditions or rituals?


Yes! Though perhaps not in the most traditional sense.

We’re thoughtfully blending what feels true to us: romantic, meaningful, modern, and still warm and familiar.

We’re excited to incorporate Jewish elements that honor our heritage and the beauty of shared tradition reimagined in a way that reflects who we are and what we value.

Think heartfelt moments, intentional symbolism, and a celebration grounded in love, community, and connection.

How can we celebrate with you respectfully?


The greatest gift is showing up as yourself and sharing in our joy.
Kindness, openness, and celebration of all love are always in style.

Eli uses they/them pronouns, and Ashley uses she/her and they/them pronouns interchangeably.

We ask that everyone approach each other with the same warmth and curiosity, taking care not to assume anyone’s gender or pronouns, instead ensuring that everyone we consider family
feels seen, respected, and celebrated.

Is your wedding accessible?


Physical, sensory, and emotional accessibility and inclusion are priorities for us in all aspects of our life. As we finalize venues and plans, we’ll share clear details on how we’re ensuring everyone can participate fully and comfortably.

If you have specific needs, please let us know so we can thoughtfully include them as essential components of our plans.

How can I stay updated?


We’ll share updates here as soon as possible as details unfold —
timing, travel, and everything in between.

Until then, thank you for your patience, excitement, and love.
It means everything to us.
