FAQs

Question

What is the dress code?

Semi-formal, Sunday best, or cocktail. This ceremony will include a full Catholic Mass.

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

We ask that you are in a seat 15 minutes prior to the ceremony. If you'd like, you are welcome to arrive up to 45 minutes early and spend some time with Jesus, preparing your hearts to worship with us and praying over our marriage.

Question

May I bring my family or a plus one?

Answer

We respectfully ask that only those who have been named on the invitation attend the reception due to planning and space. If you think there is an error in your invitation, please reach out to the bride or groom or their parents.

Question

Where is your registry?

Answer

Your presence is the greatest gift! Because Margaret and Jonah will be relocating and do not yet have a permanent address, physical items are a challenge to move and store. If you would still like to bless them, your love, prayers, and warm wishes mean the world. If you wish to give a monetary gift at this time, the registry tab has some categories for contributions.

Question

I'm not Catholic. What should I know?

Answer

The Catholic Church welcomes all to sacramental celebrations! In short - simply stand, sit, and, if you are comfortable and able, kneel along with the rest of the congregation and enjoy the beauty of this sacrament. All who are not Catholic and receiving Holy Communion are encouraged to enjoy a private moment of prayer.
