ABSOLUTELY! We are happy to welcome all those with an invitation at our ceremony. Our parish has multiple screens that serve as references for readings, responses, hymn lyrics, and indicators of movement (sitting, standing, and or kneeling). Everyone is welcome in our ceremony, and we are excited to celebrate our marriage and the blessing of love in the presence of our friends, family and God.

We are very blessed to have such wonderful family and friends, that are just as eager as us to celebrate our union. However, due to certain restraints, unless your invitation includes a "Plus 1" please do not invite any extra guests. Guest's names will be included on the invitation and have a space on our RSVP.

While we love your kids, we are hosting an adult only ceremony and reception. Please use this as an excuse to make a date night for you and your significant other.

As stated on our "Homepage" the attire is Formal/Black-tie Optional. We are spending our morning preparing ourselves for the ceremony and reception to look and feel our best, and would love our guests to do the same. The bridal party will be wearing emerald green, floor length gowns, and black tuxedos. If you are feeling stuck on what to wear... Please no jeans or khakis. Otherwise, suit-and-ties, dresses, skirts, etc would be very elegant for our wedding celebration.

Justin and I are very happy to answer any additional questions, or clarify anything via phone call or text. Please feel free to message us, and we will get back to you as quickly as possible with an answer. Lauren: 724.875.0925 Justin: 724.691.4078
