Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Where have you registered?
A: We have decided not to register for gifts. We are well established, especially since we have combined two households, and we are not in need of anything. The focus of our wedding day is on the beginning of our married life and sharing that with family friends. If you wish to commemorate the start of our married life with something special from your heart we would be touched by your gift. Please consider making a donation to your favorite charity in lieu of gifts. Some of our favorite charites are The American Cancer Society, The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and The Alzheimer's Association.

Q: Are you having a full Catholic Mass for the ceremony?
A: Yes. Having a mass with the ceremony is important to us and we would like to share this special event with our closest friends and family. The mass will blend in with the ceremony and you don't need to be Catholic. We will have programs that will help you follow along. Also, because we are having instrumental music only and because the number of our guests is small, the entire mass and wedding ceremony should only take about 45 minutes to complete.
