Late one night in October 2018, Max Ujdak and Katie Wall — now Katie Ujdak — were sitting in front of a computer, staring at the website for the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, a Catholic church at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana and a popular wedding venue.
At midnight, the couple would be able to submit a digital form ranking their wedding date preferences for a ceremony at the Basilica, where reservations open on a two-year rolling calendar.
The two were hoping for a 3 p.m. slot on Oct. 24, 2020.
They submitted the form when the clock struck midnight, and sometime later, they received a confirmation from the church for their preferred date, with a 1 p.m. slot.
“We’re like, OK, now we have a wedding venue, but we’re not engaged,” Ms. Ujdak, 27, said.
