The dress code for our wedding is formal! We know it will be hot, but men please try to wear a suit and tie or sports coat. Ladies, please wear formal attire as well (i.e., formal dresses, dress pants).
We are having an "unplugged" ceremony. This means we are asking that all phones to be out away and turned off during the ceremony. We have hired a professional to capture some of the most important moments of our night and we'd hate to have a well-meaning person's phone blocking that moment for our photographer. After the ceremony is over, please feel free to take as many photos as you want!
If we do not receive an RSVP back from you by our specified deadline, you will be marked as "not attending". The reason for this being that we must provide accurate guest counts to all of our vendors within a timely manner. We hope you understand, and we will miss you celebrating with us!
We kindly request that all our guests arrive promptly for our wedding ceremony as it holds great significance to us. Ceremony doors will be closed once ceremony starts. If, for any reason, you are unable to make it to the ceremony on time, we understand and respect your circumstances. In that case, we would be delighted to have you join us at the reception where we can truly celebrate this joyous occasion together!
Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate the guests that are included on your invitation. If you received a plus one, they would appear under your name when you RSVP and on your invitation.
We kindly request that our wedding be an adults-only affair. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to celebrating this special day with you.
