Dress Code
For the ladies, ball gown, evening gown or chips, dealers choice - but has to be full length. For men you are also required to look fabulous. Wedding will be a Black Tie affair. Think James Bond. Black suit is fine, doesn't have to be a tux.
Very important: do not wear white, pink, or green. If you do, the best man will literally accidentally bump into you while holding a glass of wine. Those colors are reserved for the wedding party.
Dates/ Children
Can I bring a date?
If your wedding invitation says +1 allowed, then yes. If it doesn’t, then no.
What if it doesn’t but I have a date?
Did I stutter? If it doesn’t, then no!
What about children?
Yep - leave those at home too. This is ADULTS only!
Ceremony and Reception
How do I get to the ceremony?
Google. It’s your friend.
It'll be at St. Patrick's cathedral. The entrance is on 5th Avenue between 50th and 51st Street.
St. Patrick's Cathedral
New York, NY 10022

Start Time
What time is the ceremony?
Depends.
If you're the type who's always on time, it's 2:30pm. If you're the type who's 30 min late, it's 2:00pm
Keep in mind trains can be funny on weekends. So if you're coming by train, allot an extra 15 to 20 min.
What if in late?
Don't be.
No seriously.
Seriously don't be.
Come on.
You'll probably be able to slip in. St. Patrick’s is large enough that no one would probably notice - except the bride and groom who will hold it against you for the rest of your life.
Registry
Is there a registry?
God no.
Oh I mean … just regular Joe no. Catholic wedding and all.
The groom and bride will pass on the accumulation of material in their NYC-sized apartment.
If you insist, red envelopes will be appreciated and accepted. There'll be a heavily guarded box for cards and etc.
Where to stay?
Yen and Rozie have blocked off these hotel rooms so you can stay in the same hotel as other guests, in the vicinity of the wedding venue. You can contact these hotels directly and just mention you are part of the Rozanne and Yen wedding. Please make all reservations by 7/15/2018,

Party
The reception officially ends 11pm
After party?
Did someone say after party … you party animal.
For those who’re still capable of standing, there will be an after party at LAVO Nightclub from 11pm until no one is standing. It is unlikely the groom will even make it to the after party though.
Food
What food will be served?
The good kind.
No seriously, I have allergies.
If you have any specific allergies, please let the bride or groom know so they can let the venue know ahead of time. Although I may just say that there’s a Maoz down the street, get your food there
Transportation
What’s the best means of transportation?
It’s New York City. While we hate the MTA, it is the most efficient.
If you're dressed up too nicely to take the subway, feel free to use Uber, Lyft, or plain ol taxi. If you want to go by bus, the bus goes up Madison Ave.
No official transportation will be provided.
Other Questions?
I have a question not answered here; how do I contact you?
You can reach me by email at jacob.yi.chen@gmail.com
For the subject line please put the hashtag #RoFuckingWay so I know it’ll be wedding related. Also, my hourly rate will be applied. And yes, I am an overly paid lawyer.
