FAQs

Question

What should I do between the wedding and the reception?

Answer

We have reserved a hospitality room at the Hilton Garden Inn Atlanta North/Alpharetta from 2-5. The hotel is right by the Metropolitan Club, so feel free to hang out in the hospitality room in between events!

Question

Why June 5th?

Answer

June 6th is the Feast Day of Corpus Christi, also called the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, in the Catholic Church. Matt and Rachel both love the Eucharist, which we as Catholics believe is literally Jesus Christ. When we think of what we want to center our marriage on, we could think of no better or more fitting feast. Thus, we chose the weekend of Corpus Christi to start our life together.

Question

To mask or not to mask?

Answer

Masks are not required at the church or the reception venue, so we are leaving it up to our guests to make whatever decision is best for them. If you do decide to wear a mask, we just ask that you take it off for any portrait photos you are in.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

The event will be formal, so please dress accordingly. Since the ceremony is in a Catholic Church, we ask that you please use "shoulders to mid-thigh" as a rule of thumb. Yes, it is summer in Georgia, but the events will be air conditioned since they are all indoors.

Question

What are your wedding colors?

Answer

Our wedding colors are shades of purple, with lavender being the main color.
