Question

What will the weather be like this time of year?

Answer

December in WI is relatively cold, and you should expect snow. Average December high temps: 33°F Average December low temps: 24°F Bring a coat, but don't worry. All events will be indoors and in the same general vicinity. You won't have to be outside for too long if you walk to a nearby bar, and you won't have to drive much in the snow.

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

You should arrive at the Church 15-30 minutes before the ceremony begins. We will not have assigned seating or assigned "sides." So finding a seat will not be an issue.

Question

When is the RSVP deadline?

Answer

The RSVP deadline is October 17, 2020. Please respond by then- we know it's early. And if you have questions, text Elizabeth or Shep.

Answer

You can hang out with friends and family at the hotel or at some bars and restaurants around Fond du Lac: The Hotel Retlaw: cocktail bar Theo's 24: best for wine and across the street from the reception/ hotel 18 Hands Ale Haus: Great beer and close to the hotel Backyard Grill & Bar: Great for food and drinks and close to the church There are plenty of other great places to have a beverage or two around the city. Enjoy!
