You can click the RSVP tab above and RSVP at any time. If you cannot attend our wedding, please indicate "Will NOT Attend", so we can plan accordingly. Deadline to RSVP is October 17, 2025.

We are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. Your invite will be made out to "(your name) & Guest", if a plus one has been given to you. Thank you for understanding.
Our ceremony will begin at 2:00PM, and we ask that you arrive and be in your seat NO LATER THAN 15 minutes before the ceremony starts. You may arrive earlier than 15 minutes to allow plenty of time to park and find your seat.
We'd love to see our family and friends get dressed up for our big day. Our dress code is "Semi-Formal" ~ Women should wear elegant cocktail or mid to floor-length dresses. Men should wear suits and ties.
For our wedding ceremony at St. Ambrose Cathedral, free parking is available in any of the lots surrounding the cathedral. Pay to park is available on High Street, 7th Street and 6th Ave. For our reception at The Tea Room, you can park in the 9th & Locust Parking Ramp, 8th & Mulberry Parking Ramp, which are both a 3 minute walk to The Tea Room, or any available street parking. For the 9th & Locust Parking Ramp, vehicle entrance and exit are on the south side of the garage on Locust Street. The SE corner of the garage links to the skywalk and provides the most direct route to The Tea Room (both on skywalk & street level). For the 8th & Mulberry Parking Ramp, vehicle entrance and exit are on the NW corner of the garage on Mulberry Street. (The east half of the parking structure is EMC Insurance's private parking.) Pedestrian entrance and exit are on the south side of the building on Cherry Street.
The main entrance to the Wilkins building is located on 8th Street, halfway between Walnut Street & Locust Street. Look for the sign outside the entrance door to direct you up to the 6th floor. You can also enter via the skywalk entrance from the Des Moines Partnership Building on the 2nd floor and follow the skywalk directions to the Wilkins / Tea Room entrance and take the elevator to the 6th floor.
