Yes! Though not required to dress matching the theme, the bridal party and decor will be decorated for a formal, nautical affair. Think Elizabeth James from the Parent Trap- 1998 version (if you haven't seen it I recommend)!

You will be missed! If you can not make it to the wedding, please let us know as soon as possible and RSVP “no,” so we can plan accordingly.

What time should I arrive?

We recommend that you arrive 15-30 minutes before the ceremony begins, to make sure everyone is on time and the party can start on schedule!

Any other pertinent information regarding the ceremony?

The ceremony will include a full catholic mass. Out of respect for the Archdiocese of Charleston and St. Francis, we request that all guests do not participate in the consumption of alcohol prior to the ceremony. Also, there will be no alcohol permitted on the church grounds. But don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunity to celebrate and toast after the ceremony at the Davies' and reception!

Can I take and post pictures of the wedding on social media?

We would love for all friends and family to take lots of photo memories of the evening! However, please note that the ceremony will be a no-phone event due to the catholic mass. For the remainder of the events feel free to use our hashtag: #GetYourCoatesOn2024
