FAQ
Question
How did you meet?
Answer
We first crossed paths in 2018 while playing quadball, building a strong friendship over the years before it blossomed into a relationship in 2021.
Question
Why Milwaukee?
Answer
Milwaukee holds a special place in our hearts; Nathan lived there for ten years (one apartment being around the block from our reception venue!) before moving to Chicago to be with Kennedy. Our shared time in Milwaukee holds many happy memories with each other and friends, and we plan to move here once we're ready to purchase a home. It is also a central location for our families in Iowa and Michigan.
Question
Do I get a plus one? Are kids invited?
Answer
We are blessed with large families and are at capacity for our reception venue in our effort to invite as many loved ones as possible. Unless specified on your invitation, please do not bring a plus one or children to the reception. Children are welcome to attend the ceremony, as there will be plenty of room in the church, and we want to limit the time you must find childcare.
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
Please wear cocktail attire (i.e., knee- to midi-length dresses, jumpsuits, collared shirts, suit jackets, no jeans). Although the wedding will have a 1960s influence, guests do not need to wear vintage or retro clothing, but you are welcome to if you'd like!
Question
Will there be an open bar?
Answer
The reception bar will have free pop, beer, cider, wine, and seltzer. Enjoy the local brews and—of course—some PBR. Be sure to tip the bartenders! Mixed drinks will be available but are not part of the open bar.
Question
What should I expect at a Catholic wedding?
Answer
We are having a nuptial mass to celebrate our wedding, which includes the Liturgy of the Eucharist and usually lasts an hour. If you are not Catholic, please feel free to follow the standing, kneeling, and sitting or to remain sitting, whatever you are most comfortable doing. Please turn your phones off and keep them in your purses or pockets.
Question
Two hours is a long time—what do I do between the ceremony and reception?
Answer
You are welcome to explore the city, go to your hotel to check in or nap, or go on a bar crawl we've designed on the mile-long walk between the ceremony and reception venues—details on the "Schedule" page. We ask that family members stay at the church for photos before heading out.
Question
What will your surname be?
Answer
Our names will remain the same: Kennedy Murphy and Nathan Digmann. Although we appreciate the sentiment, we ask that you not gift us anything monogrammed or that says "The Digmanns."
