Welcome!

We are so glad you are coming to our wedding!

We want to make the experience as seamless and enjoyable as possible for everyone, so we have created this blog to answer any questions you may have.

If you have questions that aren't addressed here, feel free to e-mail either of us and we will be happy to try to answer everything we can.

p.s. This is not to be considered an invitation to ask questions of an existential or arcane nature that you may be struggling with.  That's what Wikipedia is for.      :)

Colorful attire encouraged!

Our wedding will not be a drab occasion, and we would like your help setting the festive atmosphere!  

So, wear your most dazzling dresses, bright blouses, pastel pants... colorful cummerbunds?  

All colors are encouraged.  Black tie optional.  You get the idea.  

Spruce your goose and join us to celebrate!

Bad Weather??

We are keeping our fingers crossed that the Farmers' Almanac has correctly predicted an unusually DRY July!

However, if there is bad enough inclement weather on the day of the wedding, the wedding ceremony may move indoors to the reception venue: The 560 Music Center.

In case of rain (or if in doubt) please call Thommy after 2p.m. at 314.479.8085 for updates on the venue status.

We also recommend being prepared with an umbrella in case of light drizzle, our spirits are not easily dampened!
