*THE CEREMONY IS ENTIRELY OPTIONAL TO ATTEND AND CHILDREN ARE WELCOME* We’re so grateful for the love and support from each of you — it means the world to have you celebrating with us. Our ceremony will be a traditional Catholic ceremony (NOT a full mass), which is deeply meaningful to us. However, we completely understand if you prefer to join us afterward for Cocktail Hour at Woodbine Mansion — we’ll be so excited to see you there with a drink in hand! Transportation will be provided post-ceremony from St. John Neumann to Woodbine Mansion for those interested. Please indicate if you plan to utilize this transport when you RSVP. Attire is Formal. For reference, the Wedding Party will be in tuxedos and floor-length gowns.

We can't think of better way to round out the weekend with y'all than a UT tailgate! Kickoff has been confirmed for 6:30 PM CT! Come and go as y'all please but hoping this is an opportunity for us to see all of the little ones we missed the night before. We’ll have tacos, snacks, and plenty to drink! More Details: Location - We'll be set up in the open area at Trinity St & E 18th (in front of the Trinity Parking Garage / down the street from Scholz Garden)! Parking - Public parking is hard to come by on gamedays so we do encourage rideshares!
