Our wedding will be a little bit untraditional and elopement style. Our focus and what's important to us as a couple is the ceremony in the catholic church. There will be no formal reception to follow. We plan to have some snacks and refreshments available after the ceremony; we request guests stay until we personally thank you and take pictures.
