Answer

We would love for all of our family and friends to be fully present in the moment with us, so we are asking for limited use of phones/cameras during the ceremony! Not a fully “unplugged” ceremony, but please be limited in your use of phones as to not block the view or distract other guests. We will have an amazing photographer capturing the moment for us. Feel free to take as many photos/videos you want during the cocktail hour and reception!

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

We have tried our best to fully accommodate our guests, but unfortunately space is limited. If a plus one has been allotted for you, it will reflect on your invitation. We look forward to spending the evening celebrating with our closest family and friends!

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

Since we already live together and have most of the household items we need, we are asking for honeymoon funds if people feel inclined to provide a gift. We have registered for a few items as well in case some people prefer to bring a physical gift.
