The groom will begin the procession at 4:30 p.m. That said, please take your seat no later than 4:15 p.m. While we hope you can join us for the ceremony, we understand if you are not comfortable, and look forward to sharing a drink with you after! New to Catholic mass? Here are some basic rules: • No gum, food or drink (babies/medical obviously permitted) • No hats (men) • Turn your cell to silent • You may see folks bowing when passing the altar. This is done toward the presence of Eucharist within the tabernacle. In this celebration, the Eucharist will not be present or offered. Christy's maternal Grandma used to say that every time you enter a new church, you get to make a wish. We hope you'll pass on the tradition!

We (bride & groom) are not fans of sitting still and being stared at; and we're REALLY not fans of waiting an hour for the fun to start. Therefore, our reception will be a cocktail party, and no formal sit-down dinner will be held. We will, of course, be providing more than enough food to fill up on (we're eaters - we've made sure), as well as plenty of unassigned seats and tables in a designated dining area. Speeches & dances are still on the schedule when we switch from band to DJ! Parking: This venue has VERY limited parking in the back of the building. There is additional public parking behind M&T Bank on Seneca Street. Street parking is free in the city of Buffalo on weekends. We also encourage carpooling and Uber-ing, or walking/biking if you're close by! *PLEASE DO NOT park in the apartment parking area. Those folks pay for those spots; we did not. The distance from the church to the reception is 1.4 miles. This is about a 5 min drive, or a 25 min walk. Doors will not open early for the reception. Have a few minutes to burn?
