Question
How do I mark registry items as purchased?
Answer
Some of the stores we registered at are linked to Zola. If you click on the link, it will direct you to the store website and after you complete the transaction, Zola will get the information and mark the item as purchased. Some of the stores are not linked and after you make the purchase, you will have to return to the Zola site and mark the item as purchased. If you have any trouble with any registry items, please email us at futureisfortes@gmail.com and we will help!
Question
Will my plus one or my kids be invited?

Question
I love taking pictures! Can I take pictures during the ceremony?
Answer
We love pictures, too! We are asking for all our guests to honor our wish for an UNPLUGGED ceremony...meaning please do not take any pictures during any portion of the ceremony. We have a professional photographer who will be capturing all our special moments! We do, however, want to encourage you to take pictures before the ceremony, during our appetizer hour and throughout the reception! We'll have a QR code handy, so you can share everything you've captured!
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
