CEREMONY – TAYLOR JARVIS, TODAY’S BRIDE REASONS TO HAVE AN •  You paid a lot of money for the photog- rapher to get good shots and you don’t want someone’s head or iPhone messing them up. •  You don’t want to be blinded by flashes when you are walking down the aisle. • You want your guests to be in the moment — not documenting it. •  You don’t want someone’s phone to blare “Eye of the Tiger” halfway through your vows. •  If anyone’s sharing photos on social media to all those frenemies who didn’t get an invite, it should be you – with professional quality photos – not your second cousin. Unplugged Ceremony #HASHTAG TIPS FOR CREATING YOUR While creating my hashtag came naturally – #ThiTheKnot was just too perfect - creating your own hashtag can be more difficult than you’d expect! While some may prefer the generic and easy-to-remember – like combining your names, using your new last name, or including your wed- ding date – others like to come up with a creative pun or wordplay. I love the idea of having a small get-together with your wedding party and brain- storming possibilities! Provide appe- tizers and drinks, plan a game or two, and start shouting out ideas! Not only will you end up with a fun and creative hashtag, but it’s a great way for members of your party to get to know each other!
