Maya & Jon

When & where

Our story

Seven years ago Maya almost walked past Jon's coffee order at a rainy Austin cafe — until he called her name because the barista had written "Mara." One corrected cup became a first date, then a thousand road trips, late-night tacos, and one very stubborn fiddle-leaf fig they still argue about watering. This fall we're gathering the people who made us "us" under the willows at The Willow Conservatory. Come for the vows, stay for dinner under the lanterns, and help us start the next chapter.
