Question
Message to our guests
Answer
In 2025, our country has made many people feel unsafe and unwelcome. We want all our guests to feel safe, included, valued and welcome at our wedding. We want our wedding to be an inclusive event where we celebrate love and joy in what has otherwise been a very scary time for many, ourselves included. Thank you for joining us in this celebration of love.
