When do you need my reply?
By October 1, 2026. That's when we give the caterer our final numbers, so replying before then means a lot. RSVP here.
Can I change my answer afterwards?
Yes, right up to October 1. Go back to the RSVP page, enter your code again, and your previous answers will be there to edit.
I've lost my invitation code.
It happens. Reply to the message we sent you, or email us, and we'll send it straight back over. Please don't use someone else's because the code is what tells us which seats are yours.
May I bring a guest?
Your invitation names everyone we've saved a seat for, and the RSVP page will show you exactly who that is. If we've left any seats open for people we couldn't name, there'll be a space for you to fill in who is coming. We've had to keep numbers tight, so we can't add seats beyond that. We hope you understand.
Are children invited?
We love your little ones. If your invitation includes them by name, please do bring them. We're serving a Nigerian spread and there is plenty the little ones will love. If it doesn't, we've kept that celebration adults-only, and we kindly ask you to arrange childcare for the day. Thank you for understanding.
What should I wear?
Formal. Suits and ties, floor-length and formal midi dresses are all at home here. For guests, our color inspiration is black, terracotta or beige — echo it if you like, though it's never required. We'd gently ask you to leave white and ivory to the bride. Shoulders covered in church is appreciated. The church runs cool and the evening cooler still, so bring a wrap or a jacket.
Are the ceremony and reception in the same place?
The exact addresses are with the rest of the details. Enter your invitation code and you'll see both, with maps and parking. If a drive is involved between them, we'll say so clearly there.
What time should I arrive?
Please be seated by 10:30 AM Central. The Mass begins at 11:00 and the doors close as the procession starts, so anyone arriving late will need to wait for a break to be seated.
I'm not Catholic. What do I do?
Nothing at all, and that's the honest answer. A note on the Mass, beside the order of the day, walks you through the whole thing: how long it runs, when people sit and stand, and what to do at Communion.
Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?
Both the Mass and the reception are indoors, so the Kansas weather can do as it likes. Photographs may take us outside briefly if it's fine.
Can I take photographs, and share them?
During the Mass, please put your phone away and simply be with us. Our photographer has it covered, and a raised phone in the aisle ends up in every shot. From the reception onwards, take all the photographs you like and post them freely; we'd love to see them. The one ask: nothing of the bride online before she walks down the aisle.
Will there be a livestream?
We're hoping to stream the Mass for family who can't travel. It isn't confirmed yet. As soon as it is, the link will appear here and we'll send it out.
Is parking free? Is the venue accessible?
Parking, step-free access and accessible seating are all covered in the invited-guests section. If you need anything specific, such as a reserved seat near the front, a wheelchair space, or help getting from the car, just tell us on your RSVP or message us, and we'll arrange it.
Will there be a bar?
We won't be hosting a bar, but our reception venue has one where you're welcome to buy drinks, so do bring a card if you'd like one. If you plan to drink, please arrange a safe way back to your hotel.
Is there a Nigerian element to the day?
There is, and we can't wait. Paschal's family is Igbo and Maryanne's is Edo, so alongside the Catholic Mass you'll find touches of both through the celebration: music, color and the occasional moment that will make sense to some guests and delight the rest. No preparation needed: follow the room, and someone will happily explain.
Who do I call on the day?
There's a wedding-day phone number in the invited-guests section. Please use that rather than calling us. If you're lost, delayed or need anything at all, that's the number that will actually be answered.
