FAQs

Question

Who will be invited to join us in the sealing room?

Answer

We wish we could have everyone in the sealing room with us, but because of limited seating, we’re keeping these special seats for our immediate family and closest friends. Your love and support mean so much to us, and if you feel you should be there, please reach out—we’d love to see what we can do. However, we would love for everyone to join us outside the temple afterward for family pictures and celebration. Your presence means the world to us!

Question

What time should I arrive at the temple?

Answer

If you’ll be in the sealing room with us, please arrive by 8:45 AM so we can begin promptly at 9:00 AM. If you won’t be joining us inside, we expect to exit the temple around 9:45 AM—perfect timing to greet us, take pictures, and celebrate together outside.

Question

Can we fakapale (throw money) at the chapel?

Answer

We know it’s tradition to fakapale (throw money), but since our reception will be at the chapel, we kindly ask that everyone respect the church’s guidelines. If you wish to fakapale, please place it in an envelope and hand it to us directly. Though it may feel different from the usual mafana faka-Tonga; but the love will still be felt as we honor the Savior’s way.

Question

Can I bring a 3rd, 4th, or 5th plus-one?

Answer

Our wedding will be by invitation only. We won’t mind if you bring one plus-one, but we kindly ask that you don’t bring additional guests beyond that. This way, we can make sure there’s a seat for you at the table and that you can fully enjoy the food, fun, and entertainment we’ve planned.

Question

Can we bring our kids to the wedding reception?

Answer

It depends. If we personally babysit your children, we’d be delighted to have them join us. Otherwise, we kindly ask that you leave your kids at home so you can fully enjoy our special day as much as we will.
