HOW WILL YOU COMMUNICATE ANY UPDATED INFORMATION AND/OR CHANGES BEFORE THE RENEWAL?
Any updated information will be posted to this website and sent via text.
CAN I TAKE PICTURES DURING THE CEREMONY TO POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA?
We are requesting that guests do NOT take pictures during the ceremony. We want our guests to be present in the moment rather than taking photos, using their phones, or capturing videos. This keeps guests fully engaged in the moment and genuinely focused on our renewal ceremony. It also ensures that photographers can capture special moments without the interference from others trying to take pictures.
