Question

Our COVID-19 Policy

Answer

This Section used to open with “While we are all relieved that COVID-19 is no longer running rampant in our communities….”. Sadly, we needed to correct that. Unfortunately, we are seeing a resurgence of COVID-19 in our area. Thankfully, the cases tend to be more mild, but because of this, we need to be extra diligent about health and safety at our wedding, particularly in light of our immunocompromised and/or high-risk VIPs. Below are the details of our COVID-19 Policy for our wedding. If you have any questions whatsoever, please reach out to Chris or Allison directly! - All guests must be vaccinated against COVID-19. - Please do not attend our wedding if you are experiencing any symptoms the week before the wedding (colds and allergies aside--just please do not come sick!). If you’re unsure, please just take a rapid test or two to be sure! -Please do not attend if you have a known COVID-19 exposure within two weeks of the wedding, if you have not reliably tested negative since your exposure. - For our guests traveling from far away, if you are flying or taking public transportation, please wear a mask while traveling in those confined spaces with strangers. What should I do if, after the wedding, I find out that I am positive COVID-19? Please let us know ASAP. We will notify anyone who may have been exposed. Please do *not* refrain from telling us because you are embarrassed or worried. We need to know, and as soon as possible. We will not reveal your identity to any other guests; we merely will notify those you've had close contact with that they may have been exposed and need to get tested. This is particularly important regarding our immunocompromised and high-risk guests.

Question

Are children permitted to attend?

Answer

No. As much as we love your little ones, we are having an adults-only wedding.

Question

Can I bring a date to this splendrous occasion?

Answer

It should be clear from your invitation whether you have a "plus one" or other household members invited, as well. However, it will be entirely clear when you RSVP on this website. The RSVP function will indicate if a "plus one" or other named guest has been affiliated with your name and invitation. The website will prompt you to provide an RSVP response for every guest on your invitation. If you do not have a "plus one", please respect the size of our event and just bring your lovely self.

Question

May I post photographs from the wedding on social media?

Answer

Short answer, sure. However, we ask that you please do not take any photos or video during the ceremony.

Question

Who should I reach out to with other questions?

Answer

While we cannot wait to see everyone, the months leading up to the wedding will be very hectic for us. If you have questions about the wedding itself that don't require a direct response from either of us, please reach out to one of our lovely wedding planning assistants: Lorraine (Mother of the Bride), Hannah (Familial Matron of Honor/Sister of the Bride), or Patricia (Platonic Maid of Honor/BFOTB). If you don't have any of their contact information, give us a quick text or email and we'll get it to you!

Question

What attire is required?

Answer

For the reception, the attire is Formal/Black-tie Optional. As we noted on the Itinerary page, we do, truly, mean optional. Come in a suit, come in a tux, come in military dress uniform, come in a gown, come in anything that makes you feel fancy! (Well, not literally *anything*, but you get the idea) If you want to wear something less evening-wear/formal to the ceremony, you are welcome to do so (there will be time to change in between).

Question

What time should I arrive for the ceremony?

Answer

Please be at the Cathedral by no later than 1:15 pm. The ceremony will start promptly at 1:30 pm and Allison will not enjoy sharing her walk down the aisle with anyone but her papa.

Question

Can I walk to any of the events?

Answer

Can you ever! Technically, the entire weekend itinerary is walk-able. We recommend driving to and from the Cathedral for the ceremony, just because it is a bit of a longer walk and it will still be quite warm out, but if you're dying for that extra exercise and sunshine, go wild. Both hotels, the reception venue, and the after party are within five minutes walking distance of each other.
