The ceremony will start promptly at 1:00 PM at St. Catherine Laboure Catholic Church. Please arrive between 12:30 PM and 12:45 PM.
We ask that you refrain from taking photos or videos during the ceremony. We have hired professional photographers and videographers to capture the moment for us. Out of respect for the professionals and for the religious ceremony, no phones or cameras please. After the ceremony, feel free to take all the pictures and videos you'd like! Please share them with us using #sealedwithakis
