So glad you asked! Three reasons: 1. Not everyone is Catholic so this allows anyone in attendance to still see the ceremony without having to attend mass. 2. Flower girls and ring bear are not required to attend the Catholic mass. Sitting still for a child is hard and can be frustrating for the parents. The flower girls and ring bear will be at the shorter ceremony at the Campbell Estate. 3. Pictures. I want pictures in multiple places- sue me.
No. I literally don't care what you do- in the most respectful way possible! Come, don't come, all up to you. You are invited because we love you, but if you are running late or simply don't want to attend one ceremony or the other that is perfectly okay!
If you are attending the Catholic mass don't look slutty- it's sinful. Other than that wear what you want. You can go as formal as you want- this is not a black tie wedding but feel free to wear a gown meant for a gala because why not. Some things to keep in mind: ~The Catholic mass is in a church (obvi) it can be chilly so I would bring a sweater or shaw. ~It is February in FL. Honestly the weather is anyones guess (somewhere between 50-75 degrees). I don't anticipate being hot, but I would bring a sweater or coat for night time. There will not be heaters because if you are that cold you should get up and dance :) ~ SHOES: we are going to be on GRASS. Please do not wear stilettos.

When you RSVP on the website it will bring up anyone included in your party! If they do not show up and you think it is a mistake you can text Lacy at 772-388-7263.
There will be a pond that will be unsupervised. If your children are invited and you decide to bring them please ensure that you keep an eye on them seeing as it will be dark. If your child is found near the pond unsupervised at any point in the night you may be asked to leave. I want to remember this day forever because I am getting married not due to a tragic loss. I hope you all understand this comes from a place of love!
