Q + A
What is the attire for the ceremony and reception?
The attire for both the ceremony and reception is semi-formal. The ceremony will be taking place inside of a church, so we ask that all guests dress reasonably.
Where is the ceremony and reception taking place?
The ceremony is taking place at St. Mathias the Apostle Catholic Church in Magnolia, Texas (302 Magnolia Blvd, Magnolia, TX 77355). The reception is taking place at The Springs in Magnolia (33301 Old Hempstead Rd, Magnolia, TX 77355). They are about a 10 minute drive from each other.
What time is the ceremony and reception?
The ceremony begins at 11:00am and ends at 12:00pm. It will be a full Catholic mass. The reception will be from 5:00pm to 10:30pm. We understand that this is a significant time gap which may not conform to everyone's schedule. While we would love for everyone to attend both the ceremony and reception, we understand that this may not be possible for many people. Please make your choice for attendance based on what is possible for yourselves, and know that we are incredibly grateful for your time!
The timing of the events makes it difficult for me to attend both. Can I just attend one?
While we would love to see everyone at both the ceremony and reception, we understand the timing could be difficult for some guests. We will be happy to see you at whichever event you are able to make!
What is parking like at the reception venue?
The reception venue has two areas, one called Stonebridge and the other called Pinehaven. Our reception is located at Pinehaven, which is behind the first building you see as you pull in. Parking is free and there should be plenty of spots for you to park.
Are children allowed at the ceremony and reception?
Yes! We welcome family and friends of any ages! While the ceremony may not be particularly stimulating for younger children, we will have games, food, and music for everyone to enjoy at the reception. We do ask that parents encourage their children to be respectful of the church and reception space as well as other guests.

Our Story
We met in college while attending St. Edward's University. Both of us played lacrosse on the respective women's and men's club teams, which is how we initially met. But, we mainly started talking at the school gym. Marc would come in for a workout, and Sophia was stuck working the front desk. Eventually, the two of us became friends, and now, here we are!
Now, Marc works full-time at a public accounting firm as a Senior Tax Associate, and Sophia recently became a full-time student again so she could finish her Master's degree.
