- Cocktail attire (or, honestly, whatever you want), but please note that the ceremony is in the woods. If you’re wearing high heels, you may want to bring a change of shoes.

- Parking is very limited at the ceremony venue. We encourage you to take our charter buses to and from the ceremony, even if you’re local. If you do drive yourself, please park on the street near Gate F.
- If it rains, the ceremony and cocktail hour will take place at our house, 421 W. Markham Ave. If we need to make weather-related changes, we’ll be in touch by Saturday morning at the latest.
