Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

The dress code is "Formal or Black-Tie Optional". If you are like me and have nooo idea what that means. Here is the text and website I used as a reference: "As the wording here suggests, this dress code is slightly less formal than a black-tie wedding. So, a tuxedo isn't required, but can still be worn if preferred. If opting for a suit, however, a formal dark suit, white shirt, and a conservative tie are acceptable. For women, the outfit choices remain the same: a floor-length gown, a fancy cocktail dress, or a dressy pantsuit. In fact, there isn't much of a difference between black-tie and black-tie optional, although Mae says it's more acceptable to wear a dress that shows the ankles (which is not true of a black-tie dress code)." https://www.brides.com/story/wedding-dress-code-explained
