Any notes about the ceremony?

Answer

We are having an unplugged ceremony. Throughout the entire ceremony we ask that guests put away their phones and cameras to witness our vows without looking through a screen. When we look into the crowed we'd love to see your faces and not your phones. The photographer we hired will capture the moment and we are happy to share our photos afterwards. We also ask guests to not post anything on social media until after the celebration is over. Thank you for your cooperation.
