Question

How should we address the bride following the ceremony?

Answer

Kristen will be keeping her last name, Mrs. Kristen Hall.

Question

A gentle note from the bride:

Answer

The bride kindly asks that you skip the hugs and physical affection during the celebration. Please send your love with words, waves, or a well-timed wink — no hugs necessary. Kristen will be wearing a one-of-a-kind couture gown — a true work of art, thoughtfully designed by her and brought to life by a world-renowned designer. To preserve the integrity of the dress for her bridal portraits, she kindly asks that guests refrain from hugging and remain mindful when holding drinks nearby. Your warm wishes and kind compliments are deeply appreciated — no touching required.

Social media etiquette:

Answer

To provide the couple the opportunity to be fully present, we kindly ask that you wait to post or tag any photos until they have had the chance to share first and after they have returned to Nashville.
