Wedding party members should be present by 3:00. Guest seating begins at 3:30, and the doors will close for the ceremony at 3:55. The doors will reopen at 4:30 after the ceremony. If timing tends to be tight for you, we strongly recommend budgeting 30-60 extra minutes in your travel time due to the inconsistencies of life and Las Vegas.
We're aiming for formal attire to the best of your ability. The full day will be indoors. For men think of button-ups, suit jackets, ties, and slacks. For women think of maxi or long dresses, and gowns. Please do not wear white, or worse, a white wedding gown.
We have paid for a professional photographers to capture how the ceremony looks, we have invited you so that you may capture how the ceremony feels. At some point during the reception, we will announce photo opportunities for all guests. Until that point, we're strictly no personal photography.
This will be an adults-only celebration. We ask that no children under 13 attend.
Unfortunately there is a limit on the guests we can invite. Your invitation reflects how many seats we are able to reserve for you. If you feel we left out someone important, let us know.
We will be serving a catered, buffet meal for the occasion with soft drinks and other beverages included. We will also have a beer selection, to which we encourage and appreciate your supporting BYOB action.
You can view our registry via the link on the top of the page. The ultimate gift is the fantastic relationships that we've gotten to make with each and every attendee. (And the love of Christ, amen.) There will be a gift table at the location.
If you're interested in helping fund our special day, please text Elijah and Ann directly. A little will go a long way to helping make the day.
Our wedding and reception in Las Vegas are the official celebration of our marriage. It would truly mean a great deal to us to share that day with you in person. A casual gathering in Illinois has been kindly offered by family, but it is not confirmed and may not occur. If it does, it would simply be an informal celebration and is not intended as a substitute for the wedding.
