Are you worried about not having alcohol at your wedding?

—Not at all! We're excited about the dry reception and have planned a fun mocktail hour with kombucha and sushi. We want everyone to have a great time without the pressure of alcohol.

Why are you skipping a traditional caterer?

—We wanted a more casual and budget-friendly approach, so we decided to create a food experience instead. We'll have a taco truck for dinner, cake and donuts for dessert, and late-night pizza for a delicious and fun-filled evening.

What's the reason behind having an after party?

—We wanted to continue the celebration in a more relaxed environment and give ourselves and our guests the freedom to party as long as they want. It's going to be a chill and enjoyable time with drinks, s'mores, and late-night pizza.

Why are you having an outfit change?

—I've always loved the idea of an outfit change, and it's a chance to have two different looks for the ceremony and after party. It adds a fun and stylish element to the celebration.

Why aren't you having a traditional registry?

—We feel privileged to have everything we need for our home, and we don't want to ask for more. Instead, we're asking our guests to contribute free date night ideas to create lasting memories.
