FAQs

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP by Wednesday, July 15th, 2026.

Question

What time should I arrive at the church ceremony?

Answer

Doors will open at 3:30 PM. We kindly encourage guests to arrive a bit early to allow time for parking and to find seating comfortably. If you arrive before doors open, you are welcome to wait in the church courtyard until entry begins.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Yes, we kindly request guests wear formal-attire in respect of our celebration. As the ceremony takes place in a Catholic Church, we ask for modest and appropriate clothing, avoiding anything too revealing such as very short skirts or plunging necklines, as well as overly casual wear like jeans or t-shirts. Our hope is that everyone feels comfortable while honoring the sacredness and beauty of the occasion.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

No, we have thoughtfully and intentionally curated our guest list to include our closest family and friends, ensuring our wedding day is shared with the most meaningful people in our lives. Because of venue capacity, we are only able to accommodate guests specifically named on the invitation and are unable to extend additional plus-ones. We truly appreciate your understanding and are so grateful to celebrate this special moment surrounded by so much love.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Yes! Children are welcome, but only those who are specifically named on the invitation. We have thoughtfully included the little ones already selected as part of our guest list, and kindly ask for your understanding as we are unable to accommodate additional children.

Question

I have a food allergy/preference, can I make a special request?

Answer

Yes, please let us know in the RSVP section. This will allow us to properly note your food allergy/preference and do our best to accommodate your dietary needs.

Question

Is there parking for the church ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes—parking will be available for both the church ceremony and reception. For the church ceremony, parking will somewhat be limited due to prior Masses taking place earlier in the day. The church lot is decent in size, and any overflow can typically be accommodated with nearby street parking. For the reception, parking will also be limited as it is located within a shopping plaza. Please be mindful not to leave any personal belongings visible in your vehicle and ensure your car is properly locked. We kindly encourage guests to consider carpooling or using rideshare services to make arrival and departure easier for everyone.

Question

Am I required to participate in the Nuptial Latin Mass?

Answer

The Nuptial Latin Mass is optional for guests to fully participate in. The Mass will be conducted entirely in Latin. However, a wedding program will be provided with English translations to help you follow along. Non-Catholic guests are invited to remain in the pews, relax, and respectfully observe until the conclusion of the Mass. Please note that the Holy Communion (the Eucharist) is only offered to practicing Catholics.

Question

Is this an unplugged church ceremony?

Answer

Yes, this will be an unplugged ceremony. Due to the sacredness of the Nuptial Mass and the setting of a Catholic Church, we kindly ask that all guests turn off or silence their cell phones prior to the start of the ceremony. We respectfully request that no photos or videos be taken during the service, as we have hired a professional photographer and videographers to capture these special moments for us. We invite you to be fully present and experience the ceremony with your eyes and hearts. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. Guests who are unable to follow this request may be given a warning and, if necessary, asked to step out to ensure the sanctity of the ceremony is maintained.
