Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

The dress code for our wedding is Sunday formal as our wedding will be held in a Catholic Church. Guests are invited to dress in elegant and respectful formal attire appropriate for a church wedding. Floor length, midi, or cocktail dresses are welcome for ladies. Gentlemen are encouraged to wear suits or dress shirts with ties. Kindly avoid wearing white or ivory so the bride may reserve those colors.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony will begin at 7pm sharp, and we kindly ask that you arrive by 6:45pm to be seated comfortably. If you arrive after 7pm, please wait for the religious procession to conclude before taking a seat in the back pews, as this helps us maintain the reverence of the Mass.
