We love your children and toddlers so much (seriously...so much!). However, we are hoping to have a formal, adults only wedding, which means that if you are traveling in from out of town and want to enjoy Durham with your family, we ask that you arrange for childcare on Saturday night. We hope that parents take this opportunity for a Saturday night out or weekend away!
