Are kids welcome?

Answer

Due to venue restrictions, this will be an adult-only wedding and reception, with the only exception being siblings of the bride and groom. So call up your babysitter and come have a few drinks with us, because we are ready to party!

Question

Unplugged ceremony, what’s that?

Answer

We are having an unplugged ceremony, meaning that we ask that you please put your phones and cameras away during the ceremony. Our photographer is going to take some great pics, which we will gladly share with you, and we would sincerely appreciate if those pictures weren’t ruined with smartphones and cameras. In addition, we invite you to be fully present in this very special moment with us. We definitely encourage lots of pictures during cocktail hour and the reception, though, and you can share those on Instagram with us using our hashtag #fromfriendstoreilands Thanks for your understanding!
