Hello Everybody!
We are thrilled to announce that we’re getting married, and we’re excited to invite you to join us in Porto to celebrate!
While we’ll have a small ceremony at City Hall in San Francisco, we’d love to celebrate with our closest friends and family in one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. We hope you can make it to share this special day with us!
We understand that traveling to Porto is an adventure in itself, so we’ve put together some helpful information to make your journey as smooth as possible. Details on accommodations, travel tips, and itinerary can be found here.
We can't wait to share this special day with you in Portugal!
With all our love,
Keely & Ro

Welcome Drinks
As you’re booking your travel, if you happen to fly in early and don’t have other plans, stay tuned—we might have something casual in the works! As of now, nothing is planned, but we’ll keep you posted!
Friday, August 1 – The Yeatman
4:00 PM
Arrival
If you want to be first in line at the bar, the drinks and appetizers will be served starting at 4pm, but feel free to arrive a little earlier! It’s the perfect chance for some photos on the terrace, take in the views, and mingle before the excitement of the evening kicks off!
5:30 PM
Dinner
You might have noticed that we didn’t ask you to choose a main course for dinner. That’s because dinner will be a pre-set 5-course tasting menu, curated by the hotel’s chef who happens to have two Michelin stars.
Please note: Some of the courses may include meat and seafood.
If you have any food allergies or dietary restrictions, please let us know when you RSVP. If you didn’t mention it there, just drop us an email and we’ll make sure a substitute is ready for you.
8:30 PM
After Dinner
The party continues with a DJ, a steady flow of sweet and savory snacks, and, of course, an open bar and cake!!
We have the venue until 2am, so feel free to dance the night away with us!
Saturday, August 2 – Location TBD
7:30 – 10:30 AM

Travel Faqs
Things To Do
Here’s a detailed list of recommendations our Portuguese co-workers have shared with us: Lisbon & Porto Recommendations (Google Docs)
We’ve only been to Porto once before, but here’s a list of places (restaurants, sights, etc) we liked and would recommend: Points of Interest (Google Maps)
Other Things
Some random, hopefully helpful (?) notes:
- Douro Valley (vineyards & wine tastings)
- Porto Tourist City Pass & Lisbon Tourist City Pass
- "A Vida Portuguesa" has multiple locations throughout Lisbon & Porto, great for nice souvenir gifts.
- There are different lines depending on whether you're flying out of Europe directly or first traveling to another European country before leaving Europe.
- TSA PreCheck = FastTrack. Signage was easy to miss at the airport.
- Some streets closed to cars. Get Uber faster by walking down a couple blocks.
- Many restaurants are close between 3:30–7:00 pm. Dinner typically starts later in the evening (~8:00 pm)
VIsas
Be sure to check your travel requirements! Starting in mid-2025, visitors from Hong Kong will need to obtain a travel authorization called ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) to enter Portugal.
RSVP
We’d love to know if you can join us! Please RSVP at your earliest convenience—earlier, the better! Let us know at the latest by June 15th if you’ll be there.
We look forward to seeing you there and celebrating together in Porto!
This is the official invitation. No further paper invite will follow. Please use this site and the information on it to RSVP and make your travel arrangements.
If you have any questions about the event, please feel free to email us at keelyro.wedding@gmail.com
Registry
While your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift of all, for those who have kindly asked about giving, we have created a Newly-wed Fund.
We've been blessed to have already built our home together, so rather than traditional gifts, we would be honored if you would consider contributing to our dream honeymoon and post-wedding adventures.
Every contribution, no matter the size, will help us create lasting memories. Thank you for being part of our journey!
