The Day of the Service

Bridal Party. The church library is available to the bride and her party for dressing TWO HOURS before the service. Please let the clergy know if you wish to use this facility.
Groom’s Party. The Groom and Best Man and ushers are expected to greet arriving guests in the narthex 30 minutes before the service.
No rice! Please inform family and friends that rice is dangerous underfoot, difficult to clean up, and lethal to birds, and therefore should not be used inside or outside the church.
Intoxication. Any suspicion of intoxication amongst any members of the wedding party prior to the marriage service will be grounds for canceling the service.
Begin on time. The service will begin at the stated hour. If for any reason the bride or groom is not present the service will be cancelled. If the bride and groom are present the service will begin regardless of who else might be absent.
