Our Wedding

Cameron and Sandra first met in middle school when Sandra joined the All Saints Homeschool Co-op in 2013. Throughout middle school and high school they were in the same friend group and went to all the same trips, parties, and school events but had never actually talked to each other. It wasn’t until September  2022, halfway through college, that Sandra began to see Cameron differently… it was a very random moment that she’ll never forget! From then on Sandra began to talk to Cameron more and more and Cameron really enjoyed their time together. By the end of October EVERYONE in their friend group knew Sandra saw Cameron as more than a friend… except for Cameron. He really thought Sandra was just being “nice” despite what all his friends were telling him. After everyone telling Cameron that he needed to ask Sandra out on a date, he built up the courage to ask mid-November and not surprisingly Sandra said yes (but really she was thinking “finally!”)  Their first date was in November 2022 at the Cincinnati Cyclones Hockey game where it snowed that day. This is an important detail because Sandra later found out that her parents’ first date was at a hockey game on a very snowy day too! From then on Cameron and Sandra grew to know and love each other more than their middle school selves could’ve ever imagined. 3 years of dating later, Cameron got down on one knee and popped the question after a beautiful day of hiking at Red River Gorge. Now the couple is beyond excited to begin the next chapter of their unexpected love story! Thank you to all the wonderful people who played a role in helping us get to where we are today and supporting us through each step! We love you all!

An unexpected love story…

Our Story

A Catholic wedding mass is a sacred and traditional celebration that includes scripture readings, hymns, a homily, the exchange of vows and rings, prayers, and the Eucharist (Holy Communion). The focus is on the sacrament of marriage and how two shall become one.If you’re not familiar with the a Catholic mass, don’t worry—simply follow along with the congregation. You’re welcome to join in the responses and hymns, or simply observe quietly. Non-Catholic guests are asked to remain seated during Communion and may offer a silent prayer if they wish.To remain reverent and respectful, please silence phones, avoid flash photography, and participate with a calm, prayerful attitude. Your presence and support mean so much to us as we celebrate this sacred and holy moment!

What can I expect from a Catholic wedding mass?

Yes, of course! We love your little ones! All children on the RSVP list are welcome to attend both the wedding mass and the reception. If during the ceremony your child becomes restless or needs a break, you are invited to step outside with them or use the church basement. This will help us to maintain a prayerful and reverent atmosphere. Thank you for your understanding!

Can I bring my children to the mass and reception?

At St. Monica St. George there is a parking lot beside the church. For additional spaces you may also park behind the Catholic Center building as marked in the screenshot. You do not need to pay to park here. Street parking may also be available nearby.

Where can I park for the wedding mass?

The wedding mass will end about 2:45PM and cocktail hour will begin at 4:30PM. We've made a list of our favorite places that you can enjoy during that time. You can find our suggestions under the "Things to Do" tab.

What do I do in between the wedding mass and the reception?

Directly next to the Cathedral Basilica of St. Peter in Chains there is a parking lot (Pca Lot 16 on the map) with ample spaces available for you to park. You do not need to pay to park in this lot. The small parking lot behind the cathedral is reserved for staff only. Street parking may also be available nearby for a fee.

Where can I park for the reception?

Directly beside the parking lot, on the left side of the cathedral, you will see the photo attached. The door on the right will lead you down the stairs to the undercroft. You may also use the elevator in the middle to take you down as well.

How do I reach the undercroft of the cathedral for the reception?
