Kentucky weather can be finicky in the spring and fall- sometimes this time of year is abnormally hot, but most days are pleasantly warm (in the low to mid 70s) with low liklihood of rain. It would not hurt to bring a light jacket as evenings can be chilly.

Matthew and Sarah have both decided to keep their last names. When addressing the couple it is just as correct to refer to them as Mr. and Mrs. Schaaf as Mr. and Mrs. Brown.
