Join Our Love Ritual Choir

WHAT IS THE LOVE RITUAL CHOIR?

We are delighted by your curiosity and temperament! Yes, we are hoping this event will celebrate all of the incredible talents of the people we love. So we are hoping to have a few acapella pieces (or as Connie, Danny's mom, likes to call it singing "acapulco") in key moments of our celebration. So if you can carry a tune, please sign up below and join us for our first and only rehearsal on Saturday, May 23, at 2pm.

Sign up in the RSVP section below.

If you can't carry a tune but have other talents, we welcome your offerings! Please connect with us to discuss your ideas.

Questions

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

Throughout the weekend, interpret “Festive” through the lens of wildflowers in bloom and birds in flight.

Whether you’re channeling a blossoming meadow in late summer or a cardinal with something to say, we encourage expressive, comfortable, celebratory looks that feel good on your body and lift our spirits.

Wear something that makes you feel like dancing. Or flying. Or both.

Let nature’s palette be your guide.

GIFTS?

Your Presence Is the Present 🎁✨

We are so grateful you’re joining us for this celebration of love, community, and wild joy. Truly, your presence is the greatest gift we could ask for.

We kindly ask that you do not bring gifts. That said, if you feel moved to contribute to our honeymoon fund, we are dreaming of a journey to the Isle of Borneo—where we hope to wake with bold, audacious bed-head and declare, like Danny’s grandma often did: “I look like the wild woman of Borneo!”

Your laughter, your dance moves, your hugs—that’s more than enough. If you want to help us become wild women too… We’d be grateful:


Borneo Honeymoon Fund

ARE CHILDREN INVITED?

We love the little people—truly, we do.
But this gathering is a garden for grown-ups: a chance to be wholly present in the village of Athens, NY, with us!

That said, we know life is beautifully complex, and sometimes the village is far away. If joining us means bringing your tiny beloved, let’s talk. We’re happy to find a path that prioritizes your presence and honors the spirit of our celebration.

CAN I POST PHOTOS TO SOCIAL MEDIA?

YES! POST AWAY BUT BE SURE TO TAG US WITH #DAYLOVERITUAL
