WE CANNOT TELL YOU HOW EXCITED WE ARE TO BE GETTING MARRIED
no matter if you can make it to the wedding or not, we’re happy to be able to call you “familia”
EITHER way you RSVPED…
we would LOVE to feature you on the “Who’s coming?“ page!
— DIRECT REQUEST FROM THE BRIDE—
So this wedding is blending two families — two LONG DISTANCE families. We have familia members from Arizona, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, Minnesota, Florida…and more.
In MANY cases, our soon-to-be familia are people who haven’t had the opportunity to meet each other before — in some cases, some of these familia members have yet to be able to meet Patrick or myself in-person either. So I would like the give everyone an opportunity to DIGITALLY introduce themselves…as well as get to know us + our story (you can read "OUR STORY" HERE)…as we EXPAND into a new, blended O’Donnell + Montiel familia.
I am hoping for this website to be a resource — maybe even a “cheat sheet” — for the wedding day + the events leading up to it. If you meet someone at the wedding (or get asked to find someone you don’t know well or haven’t met yet), you can simply find them through name, picture, wedding role, and/or relationship…and even find out what you can talk to them about.
My hope is to have ALL guests on the site, so please know if you were invited, you are important (and cared about) enough to be featured. Soooo…if you could share a few details + an PREFERRED IMAGE of yourself with this form, that would be amazing…and much appreciated!
I composed some quick easy questions, that should only take around 5 minutes, but this will HOPEFULLY make for a GREAT wedding experience for all
HERE IS MINE FOR EXAMPLE:
5 minutes of time = GREAT wedding for all
