Question

Viewing of the Ceremony Virtully?

Answer

We will be posting a private link for the livesteam of our wedding mass taking place at 4:30pm on Saturday, August 21st, 2021. If you have any issues the day of with the livestream, please feel free to reach out to TBD. (We will update this later.) The live stream should start about 15 minutes before the mass begins so that you have time to make sure your connection/ set-up is working fine. A recording of the wedding mass will be available on the same link after the live stream ends. There is also a download button where you can save the recording.

The wedding mass and the reception will be indoors. At this time we cannot anticipate our total guest count, but will update this when possible.

For those unable to be vaccinated, and/or at a higher risk of infection, we totally understand if you prefer to social distance and/ or wear a mask for you to feel safe and comfortable at any of the wedding related events. Please let us know if there is any way we can help ensure your safety and comfortability at our wedding.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Our wedding mass will take place during the public Sunday vigil mass. We encourage our guests to come early (between 4:00pm and 4:15pm) to find parking, get a seat, pray, and enjoy the church. We will have 20-30 minutes of beautiful prelude music before the mass starts promptly at 4:30pm.

Question

Can I bring a date?/ Plus one?

Answer

If you did not receive a +1 and need one, please email us at LiveDeLongandProsper@gmail.com. We will do our best to make things work within the limits of a somewhat limited capacity.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Yes! If bringing your kids to the wedding would bring you joy and allow you to participate more fully in our wedding mass and reception, we welcome their attendance. (And we just love kids in general!) We do know that many couples enjoy a night out, and we welcome this as well. We will do our best to have things set up well for any kids that will be joining us, though they will still need to be supervised by an adult in your party. Please feel free to reach out to us at LiveDeLongandProsper@gmail.com with any questions related to bringing your kids to the wedding mass and/ or reception.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Wedding Mass: Yes. Parking will be somewhat limited for the reception because we are getting married at the public Sunday vigil mass, so we encourage guests to arrive early. There is street parking on Elizabeth St., State St., and the neighboring streets. There is also a dedicated parking lot for St. Thomas with an entrance off of Kingsley, just west of Elizabeth St. For a map of the St. Thomas parking lot, please visit: https://sta2.org/church/mass-times/ Reception: There is a large parking lot and street parking available at the reception venue in Milan, MI.

Answer
