Question
Why did you choose to have your wedding on a week day?
Answer
You might be wondering, "Why a Monday?" It's a bit unconventional, but we chose to get married on a Monday for a few special reasons. First, Mondays often feel like a fresh start- a perfect metaphor for our new chapter together. We wanted to have a day that's all our own, away from the hustle and bustle of traditional weekend weddings. Choosing a Monday allowed us to focus on quality time with the people who matter most, without the stress of competing with other events or venues. We can't wait to celebrate with you- Cheers to a day full of love, laughter, and memories!
