Question

With so many people postponing their events and weddings. What is happening with your wedding?

Answer

As of now, our wedding is proceeding as planned. We really think that we will be able to have a safe, fun time in Charleston in July. However, with everything that has been going on in the world, it this is not a decision that we are making easily. The safety of all of our guests is our top priority and we are only considering moving forward with our original date after discussing with event experts in the Charleston area and confirming that there will be additional precautions in place with all of your wellbeing in mind. In light of the circumstances, we are trying to get an accurate guest count as soon as possible. If you know your plans, please RSVP this weekend, so we can make a final decision on keeping the wedding date.

Question

If I’m not sure what I’m doing yet, should I RSVP and can I change it later?

Answer

Please keep us posted with your plans and know that you can change your RSVP status. We want to make sure that everyone feels comfortable and safe.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

It is a saying in the Sewak’s (and most coach’s) household that if you are 5 minutes early, you are 10 minutes late. Please arrive by 4:15, or expect the father of the bride to make you run laps around the church.
