Frequently Asked Questions
Question
What date should I RSVP by?
Answer
We kindly ask all family to RSVP by April 15, and all friends to RSVP by June 7, 2025. If you’re unable to make it or do not respond by this date, we can’t wait to celebrate with you at another time! You can RSVP easily by clicking the tab above and searching for your name—or the name of anyone in your party.
Question
What if I can't make it?
Answer
We will miss you! Please RSVP "Decline". If you have already RSVP'd that you will be attending, but find that you can no longer make it, please notify Lydia as soon as possible at 515-290-6358.
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
To celebrate our special day, we invite you to participate in the traditional "Bride or Groom's side" with a twist! Feel free to express your style while embracing our colors. We can't wait to see how you participate! Into your semi-formal attire, please incorporate the colors of: Bride's side: green Groom's side: purple Why? Purple and green are the colors of Colton's older sister Baylee's rare syndrome called Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS). She won't be able to join us on the wedding day, and this is a meaningful (and fun!) way to incorporate a special recognition into our day.

Question
What time should I arrive?
Answer
Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the start time to allow for seating. Our guest book will be available to sign during the reception.
Question
Where are the accesible entrances?
Answer
There are accesible entrances at both the ceremony and reception location. From Allison Avenue, enter the small lot directly west of the church. Look for the small covered entrance closest to Allison Ave. Enter this door, and an elevator is located directly inside. At the Taproom, there is an elevator directly inside the main entrance vestibule.
Question
Will there be an open bar?
Answer
We will host beer and wine for the night to a set amount. A cash bar will be available once we reach that or if you would like another type of drink.
Question
Can I bring a plus one or my little humans?
Answer
Invitations and the online RSVP will include the names of who may attend from your party. However, feel free to use this event as a "night out" for yourself if you'd like!
Question
Where should we bring or send our wedding gift?
Answer
Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for! If you would like to honor us with a gift, you can have it delivered to our home via our registry. A wedding card box will be at our reception.
