Q + A
Question
What time should I arrive to the ceremony?
Answer
The ceremony will start at 2:00. Due to the Mystic Draw Bridge opening schedule (40 minutes past the hour), traffic and summer parking congestion, please plan to arrive no later than 1:45pm to the church if you are driving!
Question
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
Answer
The dress code for our wedding is black-tie optional. Guests are encouraged to wear attire that fits a black tie dress code, but that this is optional. For men, they should wear a dark suit with a shirt and tie (if they don’t wish to wear a tuxedo). Women should wear a floor-length gown, knee-length cocktail dress, a pantsuit, or dressy separates.
Question
