The Church

The Site of our wedding is Trinity Episcopal Church.
Located in the Central West End of St. Louis, MO. The church is charming and welcoming and the congregation is exactly the same with a diverse group of paritioners. The ceremony will be conducted by Reverend Anne Kelsey.
Pre-marital counseling is done! We passed! It's official now! Rev. Kelsey said she saw no red flags for our marriage. Guess that's a good thing...not that we were worried. We have also met with a mentor couple (a couple in the church that has been married over 10 years). Dave and Mary Crawford are their names and they informed us that the key to a great marriage is to find the most expensive marriage counselor that you can afford and go there often! They are willing to recommend some names for us.
There was also a workshop with all the engaged couples for the year. We went over the ceremony and learned where the girls get dressed and where the boys get dressed and when to bring in the marriage license and the list goes on and on. It was very informative and great to meet some other folks going through the same problems and stress and excitement and joy.
Now we just need to hurry up and wait for the ceremony.
The Reception

Named for the beer like beverage popluar during prohibition, Bevo Mill was built by the Busch family and was used as their private dining facility before opening to the public in 1917. Known throughout the community as serving great food, and with its unique architecture, it is the perfect spot for any event.
Well, the invitations have been mailed and there's no turning back now. We are eagerly awaiting your choices for entrees! Dinner will be great. All meals are served with oven roasted potatoes, green beens almondine, and baby carrots.
