Pastor Brian wants everyone at the church by 4:45 pm.

Those who should attend are:

Wedding Party: Michele, Chris, Jessica, Greg, Amber, Andy, Hannah, Xander

Parents: David, Patti, Jerry, Anita

Ushers: Eric & Dalton

Joni Kraus will be taking our wedding photographs.

She will be at the church by 12:00 noon. All parents, grandparents, and wedding party members need to be at the church (all smiles of course) and ready to take pictures no later than 12:30. She should be done by 1:30. She will take as many pictures without the bride as possible.

The wedding ceremony will start at 2:00 pm (Lord please don't let me be late!).

Around 3:00 pm we will take a few more pictures including the bride this time. Joni will start with group photos, family, then grandparents, then parents, wedding party, and ultimately the bride and groom. All guests are encouraged to head over to The Pier (assuming they are done with their pictures). Waiting for you there will be h'orderves, drinks, and music for your enjoyment while the wedding party finishes up their pictures and can join in the celebration.

We plan to arrive by 5:00 pm...see comments in the reception section (The Pier).

After the wedding, we will migrate over the Mississippi River to Quincy, IL. It is 22 miles from the Church to the Restaurant - about a 25 minute drive (nothing like driving in STL!).

We have reserved the top floor of The Pier Restaurant and plan to have cocktails, h'orderves and music with some dancing from around 4:00 - 6:00. The wedding party should arrive around by 5:00. There will be an introduction of the bride and groom, followed by toasts, cutting of the cake, and more dancing. Following the festivities we will serve dinner. We plan to be wrap up around 8 pm. There are many places in Quincy for entertainment for the evening, if you are so inclined.

Chris and I are going to "play it by ear" for the rest of the evening and not commit to anything past 8 pm. :)
