FAQs

Question

Where is the link for the wedding mass livestream?

Answer

HERE!! https://youtu.be/8AgvXhQ97R Please copy and paste this link into a new internet browser window and it will take you directly to the YouTube page. I suggest doing this a few minutes before the wedding starts (2:30 CST), then wait, watch, and enjoy! The link will also be posted on the "Schedule" page underneath the "Wedding Ceremony" section, and it will be posted on the RSVP page. Numerous places so that everyone will be able to find it :)

Question

What is the update on the venue location?

Answer

UPDATE!!: The reception will now be held in the Stephan's backyard instead of at Cantigny Golf. Everything will be outside, tables will be appropriately spaced out, masks will be required, and we will follow the local social distancing guidelines.

Question

What about the travel order for the state of Illinois for those who are traveling?

Answer

Illinois has issued a COVID travel order stating that individuals coming from certain states need to quarantine for 14 days upon arrival. I want to clarify that this order is for Cook County ONLY and all of the wedding events will be held in DuPage County. This being said, we understand that there is a lot of uncertainty right now regarding COVID, and we want everyone to do what feels the MOST comfortable for them. Chris and I fully understand the circumstances at this time and our priority is the safety of our loved ones. So, if traveling does not feel safe to you, we understand. We know that you all will be with us and supporting us in whatever fashion, either physically here or from afar :) We will also be live streaming the mass so those who cannot make it or who are feeling unsure about travel can still "be with us" at the wedding mass! I will post the link HERE closer to the wedding date.

Question

What if I have questions or concerns regarding the wedding?

Answer

Please feel free to reach out!! We want you all to feel comfortable during these times of uncertainty and constant changes. You can call Rebecca at 630-730-3962 or email at rmstephan16@gmail.com. Although this is my contact information, Chris and I are tag teaming all of this so all questions/concerns will be relayed and discussed with him. Please do not hesitate to contact us!

Question

Can I bring children to the reception?

Answer

We understand that many of you have families and little ones and we would love for them to come to the ceremony and any of the other weekend events! This being said, we will not be having children at the reception. We love your children, but we want you to be able to relax and be present for a fun evening celebrating with us! If you have any questions or want to discuss, feel free to contact us. We would be more than willing to help find a babysitter for the reception if you want to bring your family for a fun Chicago weekend vacation! We greatly appreciate your understanding!

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

Due to COVID restrictions, we are only able to host those listed on the formal invitation. Plus, if you are single, this is a great way to meet people! Chris and I met at a wedding so we may be biased :)

Question

Can I take pictures/videos at the ceremony?

Answer

We would prefer that you refrain from using your cell phones during the ceremony. An unplugged ceremony eliminates distractions and allows everyone to be more present. You are more than welcome to take photos and videos at the reception and we would love for you to share them with us!
