What is the weather like in Raleigh in March?
March in Raleigh is typically mild with temperatures ranging from 40-60 degrees Fahrenheit. Of course, if there's one thing you can count on with North Carolina weather, it's the unpredictability.
Can I bring a plus one?
If your invitation includes a plus one, you are welcome to bring a guest. Otherwise, we ask that you come solo.
Is the save the date my invitation?
No, the save the date is not your invitation. You will receive a formal invitation in the mail.
Can I bring my kids?
We love kids, but we ask that you leave them at home for this adults-only event.
What time should I arrive?
The ceremony will begin promptly at 1:00 PM. We recommend arriving at least 30 minutes early to find parking and get settled.
I've nver been to a Catholic wedding before, what can I expect?
Catholic weddings are rich in tradition and symbolism. You can expect a full mass, including communion, and a homily from the priest. Don't worry, the priest will share what you need to know to participate in a respectful way.
That sounds like a lot.
Is there question in there? You'll be fine. Just find someone who looks like they know what they're doing and follow their lead. If all else fails, just do what the person in front of you is doing. You will not be the only person there who is unfamiliar with the Catholic mass, nor will you be expected to participate in any part of the mass that you are not comfortable with.
Can I take photos during the ceremony?
We ask that you refrain from taking photos during the ceremony. We will have a professional photographer capturing all the special moments.
What about during the reception?
Feel free to take as many photos as you like during the reception! We would love to see your videos and photos, so please tag us Lillie on social media, or use the hashtag #CJLillieWedding
