Question
Can I take photos during the ceremony?
Answer
We have been dreaming of this moment, and we can’t wait to share it with all of you. This will be an unplugged ceremony, so to help us truly be present together, we kindly ask that you silence your devices (phones, tablets, pagers, etc.) and refrain from taking any photos or videos during the ceremony. We promise our amazing photographers and videographer will be capturing every special moment for us all to look back on!

Question
Is there a dress code for the rehearsal dinner?
