#KristenDropsTheBall ---- For those who don’t know, having a designated wedding hashtag makes it easy for all guests to tag their photos to our event on social media (it gathers those photos in one place). It also allows guests who are unable to attend to follow along with the celebration online.

We are limiting the rehearsal dinner guest list to only those who will be playing a role in the ceremony. We apologize in advance to those who are not included.

If you have additional questions not already answered on our website, you can reach out to Kristen directly at 302-943-3779.
