FAQs

Question

What's the best way to RSVP?

Answer

The best way to RSVP is by using the "RSVP" tab on this website if you haven't already, to confirm your attendance at the reception for our IN-PERSON guests. Please RSVP by the DEADLINE of September 1, 2023, so we can have an accurate headcount for catering. Only guests who RSVP will be admitted to the wedding reception. If we do not hear from you by then, we understand that you are unable to celebrate with us on that day, and look forward to celebrating with you at a later time!

Question

What if I have a change in my RSVP?

Answer

We know that unforeseen events can come up and while we definitely understand, we are sad to hear if you can no longer join us! Please update your RSVP to "No" as soon as possible to reflect the change. We look forward to celebrating with you at a later time!

Can anyone come to the wedding?

Answer

As much as we would love to have everyone join us on our special day, the RECEPTION is by INVITE ONLY. Please refer to your invite, for whom from your family can attend. All are welcome to join the ceremony via Zoom!

Question

What time should I arrive to the ceremony?

Answer

Please use the ceremony start time on your invitation for reference. The wedding ceremony will begin at 2:30 PM CST PROMPTLY. No one outside of the Bridal Party will be able to enter the auditorium after 2:55 PM. We recommend guests arrive 15 to 30 minutes before the official start time, so as to avoid problems with parking and finding a seat before the proceedings. Doors will close 5 minutes PRIOR to the ceremony start time and will NOT open again until the entire bridal party filters out. Be sure to get there EARLY, we don't want you to miss anything!

Question

Am I allowed to bring a plus one?

Answer

Please refer to your invitation if you were alotted a plus one. We have a strict guest list to stay on budget and within the guidelines the venue has set. We will only be able to accommodate individuals listed on your invitation. If your invite does NOT include a plus one, please do NOT bring one. There will be someone at the door verifying names on the guest list. We appreciate your support in keeping our wedding as organized as possible!

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Although we would love to have all of your little ones in attendance, due to space constraints and venue safety restrictions, we have decided to make our wedding an ADULT-ONLY event with the exception of our immediate family. We want all parents to be able to relax and enjoy the night off! Thank you for understanding!

Answer

Family and close friends, please wear the asoebi attire. For other guests, please dress to impress. This is a formal event (so no jeans please!) Men in suits with a tie or bowtie, and ladies in gowns or formal cocktail dresses. Think dressy, that could even be in your best native traditional attire.
