Question
What's the dress attire?
Answer
We invite you to dress in formal, elegant attire with a touch of *Spanish flair. Think timeless silhouettes, bold colors, and flowing fabrics that move beautifully. Not sure what this looks like? Check out the following website to gain some inspiration :) https://casildasecasa.com/articulos/categoria/bodas Out of respect for the sacred nature of the wedding Mass and the church setting, we kindly ask that attire be modest and classy, covered shoulders and tasteful necklines are appreciated. Floor-length gowns are encouraged. Women- hats, headpieces, and mantillas are optional, but if you love them, wear them! *No, Jeff and Sophia do not have Spanish ancestry. However, Sophia was raised around close family friends within a vibrant Basque community and developed a deep appreciation for the food and the culture.

Question
I've never been to a Catholic Mass before, what should I expect?
Answer
How exciting! We feel blessed that our nuptial Mass will be your first time in attendance. Here is a short rundown of what to expect that day: Liturgy of the Word (readings from Scripture), the wedding vows, and the Liturgy of the Eucharist. As Catholics, we believe that the Eucharist is truly the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ. With that being said, if you are not Catholic or in a state to receive, as others are going up to receive, you can either stay in your pew or come forward for a blessing. If you choose to come forward for a blessing, cross your arms over your chest to let the priest know. Don't know if you are in a state of grace to receive? Only baptized Catholics who have received their first communion, are practicing the faith, and are not aware of having committed mortal (serious) sins since their last confession may receive the Eucharist.
Question
What if I have dietary restrictions?
