We are looking forward to a weekend celebrating our love and the connections that bring us all together. So we invite you to leave behind the noise and the haste of the outside world, set aside digital distractions, and be present with those around you. Below are a few ways we'll be staying present and connected. We welcome you to join in as much or as little as feels right to you:

Stepping away from social media for the weekend. Be here and now, rather than worrying about the outside world or trying to curate the perfect social media presence.

Setting aside phones as much as possible, especially during shared moments. If you're around others, be truly with them. If you're on your own, it's okay to be a little bored!

Choosing to call or connect in person rather than text. This includes with people at and outside the wedding. Call that friend of yours you normally text!

Capturing moments with the disposable cameras we'll have.

Taking in the small moments -- conversations, laughter, and time together without distraction.
