A lot of our familia-to-be won’t have the chance to meet each other before the wedding — including we, bride + groom — so we thought it would be great to have DIGITAL INTRODUCTIONS so that we know who we will be celebrating with.
Guests are broken down in categories including, by geography, relationship, + wedding role, with more profiles being added (as they RSVP)
….keep coming back as I will be updating the website with new profiles every 1-2 weeks.
