FAQs

Question

What about Covid-19?

Answer

Yes, we are acutely aware of the ongoing pandemic. After all, we postponed our original wedding - a year ago - because of it! We aim to create a safe, memorable, and fun environment for all. A majority of the celebration will be outdoors, and we highly recommend that anyone not fully vaccinated wear a mask when indoors and/or closely near other guests. Furthermore, we ask that any unvaccinated guests take a Covid test in the days leading up to our wedding. Additionally, if you find yourself experiencing Covid symptoms the week of our wedding, please get tested and/or stay home! We'll understand.

Question

What is the attire?

Answer

Officially "semi formal." As a majority of the celebration will occur outside, women are encouraged wear a nice cocktail dress or dressy separates/pantsuit. For men, a suit & tie or a dress shirt and slacks are recommended. If you intend to wear dress shoes or heels, the ground will vary from grass, concrete, and cobblestone (outside) to hardwood (inside).

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

We understand the limited time constraints on this event. After all, we've postponed it from a year ago and closely deliberated having a wedding celebration until very recently. But if possible, we would ask for your RSVP by September 24.

Question

Are children welcome?

Answer

To give all our guests the opportunity to celebrate without having to worry about little eyes and ears, we politely request no children in attendance. We hope you will understand our decision to make the wedding kid-free, and take the opportunity to let your hair down and celebrate in style!

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

While we will have a small marriage ceremony, space is very limited for this portion of the event. As a result, we unfortunately cannot invite everyone to the ceremony. There will be a cocktail hour afterwards, from 6:00-7:00. The reception itself will begin at 7:00. We encourage all guests not attending the ceremony to arrive during the cocktail hour.

Question

If I drive, is parking available?

Answer

There will be an adjacent (free) parking garage available for the event. If you intend to drink alcohol, we highly recommend utilizing a ride-share app. (If you're staying at one of our recommended hotels, it's less than a 10-minute ride to the UST campus.)

Question

Is there a registry?

Answer

Yes... sorta. As we are already *technically* married, we have begun to celebrate our shared life together. We wish to forgo a traditional wedding registry in favor of a honeymoon/newlywed fund, in hopes of saving for a dream honeymoon (to Greece) and putting a down payment on our forever-home in the near future. Additionally, we have selected a small number of items we could use if you're more of a traditionalist and wish to contribute towards their purchase.

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

Yes! Please see the 'Travel' section.
