We would love our guests to dress in formal or dressy cocktail attire for all our wedding events. For ladies, think long or midi dresses, and shawls, and for the guys, slacks and dark jackets. In accordance with the sacred nature of our wedding Mass, we also ask that our guests consider modesty and reverence in their attire choices.
For the Mass, Sacred Heart has a parking lot just across the street; you can't miss it. For the reception, we'd recommend parking at your hotel if you are staying in town and walking. If you are not staying at a hotel, it will be street parking in Conshy. There is also a lot located on 1st Ave, between Fayette and Harry St (directly across from Eat Greek).
We leave that up to you, parents! If you would prefer to bring your young kids (10 & under) to our wedding, we would love having them. Please just make sure to communicate with us the number of children you will bring and their ages when you RSVP. We also understand some parents may prefer to have a night out and make other arrangements for their kids, and that's fine too! Due to space limitations, children older than 10 are only able to join us for the reception if they are indicated on the invitation you received. We hope you understand!
Not officially, but we'd be delighted if folks want to keep the celebration going! We have to leave the ballroom at 9:00 pm, but we can simply take the elevator downstairs to the main floor of the Great American Pub.
There are many reasons that some women may choose to veil in sacred places. It is both a sign of the great dignity of woman and an act of reverence and humility before Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. "The veil is meant to be an external sign of a woman's interior desire to humble herself before God, truly present in the Blessed Sacrament." Additionally, in Catholicism, we veil what is sacred, such as the tabernacle where Divine Life is present. In a similar way, the woman's veil is a sign of the great dignity and sacredness of woman, "who has the potential to receive life within herself... both human life and the supernatural life of God."
