For our wedding registry, we are primarily hoping to receive monetary donations towards our honeymoon fund. We have never been to Maui or Kauai and are looking forward to traveling together and soaking in married life. We also have some other physical gifts listed on our registry. You can find our registry information under the "registry" tab on our wedding website.
Transportation will not be provided between the hotel options and the venue. It is a short 20-25 minute drive to Missoula depending on where you stay.
We are having an "unplugged" ceremony. This just means we are asking that all phones and devices be put away and on silent/turned off during the ceremony. Why? Well, we've hired a professional to capture some of the most important moments of our lives, and we'd hate to have a well-meaning person's phone/device blocking that moment for her to capture. After the ceremony, feel free to take as many photos as you want! We encourage you to post pictures on your social media channels, our only request is that you tag each photo with our wedding hashtag #HappilyEverLucostic so we can keep track of all of your pictures! And we promise to share the ceremony photos as soon as we get them.
