Unfortunately, Dustin and I have been enjoying the vineyards and mountains of Washington too much but invitations should be sent in May!
Valid question... unfortunately, the Catholic Church could not schedule the ceremony later than 1 PM. But don't worry, Dustin and I might have a few surprises up our sleeves to pass the time. Just sit back, relax, maybe grab a few extra drinks, and the night will be over before you know it! If you do need to leave earlier than 10 PM, feel free to come and go as you please. Although we'll miss you, the party will go on!
We currently live near Seattle, WA and we will be moving to Washington, D.C. where we will be downsizing to a highly over-priced shoebox apartment! We appreciate the gesture, but unfortunately we don't have the space nor means to move gifts across the country twice (thanks Military life)! In lieu of a gift registry, cash, checks, gift cards or JUST YOUR PRESENCE is more than enough.
Is that even a question for OUR wedding? OF COURSE... we did promise you Free Drinks after all. There will be a tip jar if you feel so inclined to tip the bartenders.
Cocktail Attire - Men: No jeans please! Cocktail hour will be outside in the courtyard (indoor AC will be accessible if needed) so keep that Florida Summer Heat in mind.
We're wondering the same thing now... Just Kidding. We chose a location that was in the middle of both of our families... and the Venue didn't hurt either.
The guest list is currently 310 people and we estimate that around 250-275 people will attend. However, if everyone does attend... awesome, the more the merrier!
We will have hand sanitizer stations and try to socially distance people as much as possible. The Reception Venue has capacity for 500 people and there is plenty of room for social distancing as well as an outdoor courtyard. However, during dinner the tables will seat 8 people. Masks are optional at the Reception due to food and beverage consumption.
During the ceremony, wearing a mask is non-optional. You are required to wear a mask for the duration of the ceremony and you will be asked to leave if you do not comply with this policy. During the Reception, masks are not required and are optional. If you want to wear a mask, wear a mask!
In the highly unfortunate event that happens, we will let people know who will be able to attend the ceremony in person at the church (immediate family) and we will send a Zoom link for all others to participate. This is not what we would've wanted, but we are doing our best in the current circumstances.
YES! The Venue (Venue 650) does not have capacity restrictions and everyone is still invited to the Reception regardless of capacity restrictions at the Church. Although, I know many of you will be sad that you'll miss a 45 minute Catholic Ceremony, we hope that drink your sorrows at the Open Bar!
