Wedding Expectations

This wedding will be a formal event. We would love for our guests to dress up in formal wear.
We would prefer that there be NO pictures taken during the wedding ceremony. We want to respect the photographer that has been hired for the event.
This wedding will start ON TIME, which is 6:30pm ! And the reception will follow after.
We would prefer that there be NO children brought to the wedding/reception, besides the children in the wedding. This is a GROWN FOLKS EVENT!!!
We want to encourage our guests to consider getting a hotel close to the venue because of the distance.
We are encouraging the guests not to purchase gifts, but bless the couple with money. There will be a decorated box where you can place your money at the wedding.
