Question
Will there be parking?
Answer
Absolutely! Heading towards St. Augustine by the Sea on Ohua Avenue, look for a black metal gate, just before the brown two-story building. Party time? No worries, parking is available throughout the school campus. Please do not park on the grass!
Question
What is the attire for the wedding?
Answer
“We’d love for you to join us in semi-formal attire for our celebration. Since it’ll be outdoors, we recommend shoes that work well on grass and kindly ask that stilettos be avoided for comfort and safety. Umbrellas will be provided, and sunhats are encouraged—they’ll keep you cool and add a fun touch to your outfit!”

During the church ceremony, we ask that phones and electronic devices be put away. Your love and excitement mean the world to us, and we would love for everyone to be fully present in the moment.

Feel free to take as many pictures and videos during the reception portion of the day!
