Both our wedding ceremony and reception will take place indoors at the James S. McDonnell Planetarium, located in the beautiful Forest Park in St. Louis, Missouri. Attire is semi-formal, though we would love to see fellow Star Trek fans bring their Vulcan ears or dig out their old Federation uniforms. In other words, "costumes" are not required, but definitely encouraged! This is a geeky wedding, after all.

Our wedding ceremony will begin at 6:30 pm in the lobby area right inside the entrance. Please use the Planetarium entrance and parking lot, as the Science Center entrance will not be open. Guests may begin arriving at 6:00 pm. Feel free to sit anywhere that is not reserved for the bride and groom's immediate family.

We welcome photos and social media sharing before and after the ceremony, but ask that you refrain from using your phone and/or taking pictures during the ceremony. We want to be able to share the special moment we finally say "I do" with all of our guests.

If you have a futuristic piece of space-age technology, we'd love for you to share your Facebook posts, Instagrams, Snapchats, and Tweets using our incredibly geeky hashtag, #livelongandlewis.

After the ceremony, there will be a cocktail hour at 7:00 pm with bar service and passed hors d'oeuvres in the Starbay just upstairs. A shuttle pod (elevator) will be available to transport guests to Starbay.

Our reception will begin at 8:00 pm once everyone has had their fill of Andorian Ale and Klingon heart of targ (just kidding). A buffet-style dinner will be served, followed by dessert, dancing, and a special starry surprise! During the cocktail hour and reception, the lobby will also remain open for anyone who wants to explore the Planetarium exhibits and try their hand at driving the Mars Rover!

We look forward to sharing our special day with you. Make it so!
