The wedding ceremony will take place in the Chapel of the Cross at the Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota. (If you are looking for directions, click here).
The Chapel of the Cross
The ceremony will be conducted by Pastor Kevin Farmer from Sanctuary Covenant Church. Chinelo has connections with Sanctuary going back many years, and both Chinelo and Paul have spent many hours with Pastor Kevin preparing practically and spiritually for their married life.
The ceremony will last about one hour and will be followed by snacks and soft drinks in the Main Dining Hall
Main Dining Hall
There will be time to socialise and relax in the dining hall while the wedding party have their photos taken. This will be a great time to meet someone from the "other side": in this case maybe the other side of the world! After this, we will all come together for dinner.
Dinner will be a vegetarian feast comprising dishes from around the world, devised by Chef Aaron Kneeland. It will include recipes from renowned chefs Yottam Ottolenghi and Hugh Fernley-Wittingstall, as well as the notorious Thug Kitchen. There are no fixed menu options: all the dishes will be served to each table and you will be free to mix and match however you like. Gluten free and nut free dishes will be served.
Some of the lovely food Chef Aaron will be preparing (these examples made by non-chef Paul). Left: caramelised garlic tart. Middle: speciality chips (french fries). Right: black pepper tofu.
If you socially network using Instagram, then please tag your photos of our wedding using #chineloandpaul. That way everyone will be able to see all the photos in one place. We would kindly ask you not to post photos on Facebook.
Chinelo and Paul say, "Bring the cheese!"
