MEET US IN MALIBU
AUGUST 15, 2026 | MALIBU, CALIFORNIA
Set along the iconic Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu is one of California’s most beautiful coastal destinations, known for its stunning beaches, scenic canyons, and laid-back charm.
Malibu is special to us—Laurel is a two-time Pepperdine alum, and we met through Pepperdine’s Global Justice program in Uganda. We’ve spent many wonderful weeks out here enjoying time together and dreaming about all God has in store, and we’re excited to welcome you to this wonderful place.
For convenience and proximity to wedding events, we recommend staying in Malibu, Agoura Hills or Westlake Village.
