The Marian M
The "M" on our save-the-date is a traditional Catholic symbol for the Virgin Mary. The lilies surrounding it represent her grace and purity and have been associated with Mary since the early Church. We placed it on our wax seal as a small act of entrusting our marriage to Mary and, through her, to her Son, Jesus Christ.

Friday’s welcome event is cocktail attire, and Saturday’s celebration is black-tie optional (tuxedos or dark suits and gowns or floor-length dresses).
Our ceremony will take place during a Catholic Mass, so we kindly ask guests to dress in a modest manner appropriate for a church setting.
