~FAQs
& Other Useful Information~
Where should you stay while in Galena?
Because Galena is a popular vacation spot (as well as a beautiful
location for a June wedding), finding accommodations can be difficult
during the summer months. Because of this, we have taken the
liberty of making reservations for our guests at the Grant Hills
Country View Motel. Please read the
"Overnight Accommodations" section below for information on how to secure your
reservation.
When should you arrive in
Galena?
We purposefully planned an evening wedding to make sure you had a
chance to arrive in Galena and relax for a few hours before heading
out for the ceremony. Galena is between 3 and 5 hours away depending
on where you live. Leaving early in the morning will allow you time to
get to Galena... relax... shower... and meet with other family members.
What time should you leave the motel for the church?
The ceremony begins at 6:30 pm, however you can show up at the
ceremony site as early as 5:30. Oak Hill is beautiful and you may wish
to come early and tour the grounds. Seating and music begin at 6:00.
Oak Hill is approximately 30 minutes away from the motel.
Is this a formal or casual event?
The bride, as well as the girls, will be wearing full length dresses
and the men will be in tuxedos. The "look" is formal, but the
event itself is meant to be intimate. Dress however you feel most comfortable.
Can you take pictures during the ceremony?
Please do!
Professional photographs are being taken in Lafayette prior to the
wedding; however, no photographer will be present at the ceremony.
Please feel
free to take photos and videotape during the ceremony if you would
like. (We would gladly accept and appreciate any duplicates you might
have made.)
