We love your kids—we really do. But we want our wedding to be your night off! We respectfully ask that this be an adult-only ceremony and reception (except flower girl or ring bearer).
Our wedding will have an OPEN BAR during cocktail hour and after the dinner.
We kindly request that you turn off your phones and cameras during the ceremony and enjoy this special moment with us. Our professional photographer will capture the memories for us all to cherish. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

We are planning to have a small and cozy wedding with only our closest family and friends. The guest list is limited to 60 people. This means you will have a chance to catch up with some old buddies and make new ones too! :)
