FAQs

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

This is a kid-friendly wedding, the bride has a daughter of her own and 10 nieces and nephews alone so be prepared but please be advised that if they cause issues you will be asked to step out.

Question

Are we allowed to bring a plus one?

Answer

Before you bring a plus one, please let the bride or groom know so they may add another person to the headcount. You can ask for a plus-one invite until we give the final head count before the big day.

Question

Are Cottey students and faculty/staff welcome?

Answer

Absolutely. We want to see as many Cottey faces as we can. Since the bride was a student, we would love to see all the familiar faces on our big day.

Question

Is alcohol and/or smoking allowed or offered?

Answer

As for alcohol, we will not be providing any. The bride is in recovery so they will not have an open bar. Please feel free to have any of the many offered beverages that will be provided instead. You may bring your own, but if you begin to act a fool, you will be asked to leave.

Question

Does it matter where we sit at the ceremony?

Answer

Yes. The first two rows will be for the immediate families and very dear friends of the bride and groom. Otherwise please seat yourself wherever you would like. Note: Both the bride and groom have family that will need seating that is easily accessible, so if you would give them priority when it comes to seating that would be greatly appreciated.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Please be seated 15 minutes before the ceremony begins and please try not to be in the way once the doors close for the bridal party to appear.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

There is no dress code per se, but just note that these photos will be kept and shared by the bride and groom. However, please be appropriate as there will be children present, and for the love of Pete, DO NOT WEAR WHITE!
