What's the plan for Friday?
If you will be in West Lafayette the evening before the wedding, you are welcome to attend our rehearsal dinner. It will be at the top of Slayter Hill at 7:00 p.m. Look for the RV! It's a Purdue tailgate, so wear your black & gold and be ready to play some corn hole and have a few beers. If you are able, please bring a camp chair. Parking is available at the base of Slayter Hill across the street in the O lot (east of the track & field), accessible from Martin Jischke Dr. Be careful not to park in the mobile pay spots. Additional parking is located in the RV3/W lot, just west of the track & field off of W Stadium Avenue. Please note that it is a hike uphill! So, if you need assistance, feel free to drop off at Slayter Dr off of Tower Dr (across from the Purdue water tower). We will have helpers available to park your car if needed. Afterwards, we might make our way over to Neon Cactus! Please let us know if you plan to join us by using the RSVP link by April 20.
What should I wear?
The ceremony will be outside so please dress for the weather. It looks like you might need your umbrellas!
Summer cocktail is kindly requested. The reception will be inside.

The rehearsal dinner is from Revolution Barbeque in Lafayette. This restaurant takes extra precautions when it comes to gluten free. The only item not gluten free is the mac & cheese, which will be kept separate from the other food items. Please see Kathleen (Thomas's mom) for more information regarding other allergies or dietary restrictions regarding the rehearsal dinner.
For the snacks immediately after the wedding, please see labels on pre-packaged foods. Photos will be posted here of the ingredients in the chocolate covered pretzels and Chex mixes.
For reception dinner, the buffet is gluten free and nut free. The chef did make a disclaimer that while he will use extra precautions to avoid any cross contact (cleaning all surfaces, cookware, hot pads, etc), the kitchen has processed gluten and nuts in the past.
