We're getting married
Joey & Adam
A small City Hall ceremony — and a whole day with the people we love most.
Please read this part
Only four of you come inside with us
The City Clerk's office is strict — just the couple plus a few guests are allowed in the ceremony room. Our four parents will be up front with us:
Everyone else — we'll come running straight out to you. You'll wait just outside the green doors, and we'll find you for photos the moment it's done. 💚
The plan, hour by hour
Rough timing — courthouse mornings move at their own pace, so we'll keep the group chat posted.
Parents arrive at 141 Worth St
Kathy, Alice, Mary & Sam — come to the main entrance and find us inside. Everyone else, head for the green doors.
The ceremony
Short and sweet — about five to ten minutes once we're called up. Bring tissues anyway.
We burst out the green doors
Newly married. This is the moment — be gathered at the big green doors so you're there when we come out. Cameras ready.
Photos on the steps
A few group shots outside, then we all head to brunch together.
Brunch in Brooklyn at Glasserie
We'll grab an assortment of taxis and Ubers over together. Afternoon drinks after for anyone still going.
Where to be
Two spots in the morning, then one for the celebration.
Meet us here
The big green doors
141 Worth Street, Lower Manhattan — the far-right doors as you face the building.
Wait on the sidewalk in front of the green doors (the pink zone on our little map). Couples pour out all morning, so keep an eye out — we'll be the ones looking for you. Please don't wait at the main entrance; that's where we go in.

Our sketch, not to scale.
Then — brunch
Glasserie
95 Commercial St, Greenpoint, Brooklyn · Mediterranean
A big table reserved for all of us, in an 1880 glass factory on Newtown Creek. We'll ride over together from the courthouse once photos are done — no need to find your own way. It's about 5.2 miles, around 15 minutes by car without traffic.
Good to know
Come a little early. There's a security line into the building — aim to be at the green doors by 9:15.
Watch the group chat. If timing shifts, that's where we'll say so. Save our numbers.
Dress warm. Late-November NYC, and you'll be outside a while. Layers over your nice outfit.
Phones ready. The green-doors reveal happens fast and we want every angle.
