The ceremony and reception are being held at the Fort Worth Zoo - Portraits of the Wild Art Gallery at 1989 Colonial Pkwy, Fort Worth, 76110. Please plan to arrive around 5:45 so that we may start the ceremony promptly at 6pm. There is plenty of parking directly outside the venue entrance, but the Southside ZipZone and Uber/Lyft are additional options. The reception will immediately follow the ceremony. Please keep in mind that Saturday is also TCU Homecoming, and this may impact traffic on University Drive as you make your way to the Zoo. Please plan accordingly.
