Answer
Yes, we encourage guests to post pictures on to their social media channels, our only request is that you tag each photo with our wedding hashtag #tothechandandback so we can keep track of all of your pictures!
Question
What does your hashtag mean?
Answer
Our hashtag is an interesting play on words: #tothechandandback We wanted to use a phrase that was romantic to both of us i.e. "to the moon and back" and we substituted the English word "moon" for the Sanskrit word for moon which is "chand." Chand also is Ash's surname so a win-win situation really!
