Gentlemen & Ladies:
Can I bring someone with me?
No. Unless we have personally confirmed this.
Please refer to the number of seat/s allotted for you.
As much as we love to have everyone celebrate with us, unfortunately, we can only accommodate a limited number of guests due to venue and budget restrictions.
We wanted to be surrounded by our families, friends and super familiar faces, meaning we can only take in those who are invited.
Am I allowed to take pictures or videos during the Wedding Ceremony?
As we walk down the aisle, we wish to see your faces and joyful sight of your smiles.
As such, we would want to keep the solemnity of the Wedding Ceremony without any distractions coming from your gadgets that may be blocking the view.
Photos will forever immortalize our wedding day so we hired professionals to capture the most important moments. Let us have them do their amazing jobs on their own.
Can we sit anywhere at the Reception?
No please, it took us a lot of effort and discussion to finalize the seating arrangement which is meant for everyone's convenience, network preference and group familiarity, so no need to worry.
Our Coordinators will gladly assist you in finding your designated seats.
Do you have any GIFT preferences?
As love is what this day is all about, your presence is one we couldn't celebrate without.
We are truly grateful for your time and effort just to be with us.
We request for your healthiness and prayers.
But should you still insist that a gift is worth giving, a small saving for our future is a delightful blessing.

What is RSVP, how do I do it and why is it important?
RSVP stands for "Répondez S'il Vous Plaît" which is a French word for "Please Respond".
In essence, when we ask you to RSVP, we are asking you to confirm whether you are able to attend the wedding or not.
We will need this in order to consolidate guest details and finalize the headcount for catering and seating purposes.
Kindly affirm your availability and concerns through Gio and Aira by messaging them through their social media accounts. You can also message them through viber/whatsapp.

I already confirmed YES to the RSVP
However, I cannot attend anymore due to unforeseen event.
WHAT SHOULD I DO?
It would be sad for us that you can no longer attend our wedding event as we have specifically invited those who are close to our hearts. However, we understand that there may be such circumstances. We ask that please do let us know as soon as possible so we can still give your allotted seat to other guest.
I initially said NO to the RSVP but had a change of plans - I can attend now.
WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Please let us know as soon as possible.
Having said that, please understand that we may have reallocated your seat/s to another party.
Therefore, we cannot guarantee the same number of seats or one at all.
When is the appropriate time to leave?
It took us months to plan for a lovely wedding that everyone would hopefully enjoy.
The Program is estimated to last until 4PM.
Please don't eat and run. Stay with us until the end of the Program.
If you must leave early, we'd love to personally thank you and bid goodbye before you go, perhaps not until our Same Day Edit video is played.

Pray with us for favors and provisions.
Make sure to RSVP.
Wear appropriate attire.
Be there on time.

What should I know about the wedding ceremony?
Our wedding ceremony will reflect our beliefs as Jehovah's Witnesses and will be a meaningful occasion centered on our commitment to each other and to Jehovah. Here are some important aspects to keep in mind:
1. Biblical Foundation: The ceremony will include scriptural readings and may involve prayers that emphasize the spiritual significance of marriage according to the Bible. We believe that marriage is a sacred institution established by Jehovah, and our vows will reflect that commitment.
2. Simplicity and Modesty: Jehovah's Witness weddings are typically simple and dignified, focusing on the vows and their meaning rather than elaborate decorations or extravagant displays. We encourage guests to appreciate the spiritual significance of the event.
3. Participation: While the ceremony will be officiated by a qualified elder, we may have a few family or friends participate by reading scripture or sharing thoughts that reflect our journey and values.
4. Respect for Beliefs: We appreciate your understanding and respect for our customs and traditions. There will be no music that conflicts with our beliefs, and we will refrain from certain celebratory practices, including:
-No Alcoholic Beverages: In line with our beliefs, there will not be any alcoholic beverages served during the ceremony or the reception. We hope you understand and support our choice.
-No Traditional Wedding Rituals: We will not be including customs such as toasting, throwing rice or confetti, bouquet tossing, garter throwing, glass-clinking for kiss or any other traditions that may not align with our faith.
-No Secular Themes: The ceremony and reception will focus on our commitment to each other and to Jehovah, avoiding any themes or decorations that celebrate secular or non-religious aspects of marriage.
5. Family-Friendly Atmosphere: We aim to create an inviting and family-friendly environment. Children are welcome, and we hope to make this a joyful celebration for everyone.
6. Witnessing the Vows: As our guests, your presence will signify your support of our union. Witnessing our vows is an important part of the ceremony, and we are grateful to have you share this special moment with us.
7. Reception: After the ceremony, we will host a reception where we can all celebrate together. The reception will include a meal and time for fellowship, allowing us to share in our joy and connect with one another.
We look forward to sharing this significant day with you and appreciate your support as we embark on this new chapter in our lives together.
