FAQs

Question

Are children welcome?

Answer

Children are most welcome at both our ceremony and reception! We will have small activity books during the ceremony for wiggly little ones and fun toys and games during the reception :)

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

We're calling the recommended dress code "semi-casual" or smart casual. While we would prefer our guests wear slacks or skirts, rather than jeans and t-shirts, we want everyone to feel comfortable in their attire at our wedding and aren't going to make a big deal about clothes. We're definitely dressing up, though!

No; Emma is still a non-denominational Christian and Ryan is still Catholic.

Question

Wait, is Ryan a Protestant now?

Answer

No; Emma is still a non-denominational Christian and Ryan is still Catholic.

Question

When is my RSVP due?

Answer

Please send your RSVP (via the website or through the mail) by June 1, 2020.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Plus-ones are by invitation only. Invited guests are named on the invitation, which should also say if you may bring a plus-one. If you're not sure or you would like to bring someone, please contact Emma or Ryan, who can give you more information.

Question

Where should I park?

Answer

St. John Vianny Chruch has a spacious parking lot, but will also have another event that weekend. Please carpool, if practical, but there should be sufficient parking both in the lot and on the street, if necessary.

Question

What about COVID-19

Answer

Our world has changed. COVID-19 has forced us to make some difficult decisions about our wedding and reception, including significantly shortening our guest list. Unfortunately, we are limited to family and a few very close friends, so we won't be able to celebrate with everyone at this time. We will be getting married in a small church ceremony with a family reception in Ryan's mom's backyard. We hope to have a larger reception next year and celebrate with all our loved ones at that time. As we continue planning our future celebration, we will be in touch with more details. We are so grateful for your love and support and we are heartbroken about this turn of events and are investigating the possibility of streaming or recording the wedding ceremony. Please stay safe and healthy until we can see you again!
