Question

How do I RSVP?

Answer

Please fill out and return the RSVP card found in your invitation by mail before June 20. Be sure to include each guest in your party’s initials next to their chosen meal entrée. You may also notify us of any dietary restrictions. Please check back later for details on how to RSVP to any other wedding weekend events to which you may have been invited.

Question

How should I get to and from wedding weekend events?

Answer

The Graduate and The Jefferson hotels are located within walking distance of The Commonwealth Club. For those needing ceremony transportation, we suggest using Uber or Lyft to get to and from St. Anthony’s Church. The drive from downtown to the church is about 25 minutes. However, if you are flying in, you may find renting a car for the weekend to be cheaper. There is plenty of parking at the church and the reception location.

Question

What should I do if I have a food allergy or dietary restriction?

Answer

Please notify Chase, Claire, or their parents of your dietary restriction by the RSVP deadline and we will do our best to make accommodations for your meal at the reception.

Question

May I take communion at the wedding Mass?

Answer

Only practicing Catholics may receive the Eucharist (communion) at the wedding mass. Additionally, communion is placed on the tongue in the Maronite Rite instead on the hand. Non-Catholic guests may receive a blessing instead of the Eucharist, if they wish. Please indicate this by crossing your arms over your chest when walking up to the alter during communion.
