Wording from an Unplugged Wedding program
Last year, we introduced the concept of “Unplugged Weddings,” where couples ask their guests to put down their cameras. We even gave you some examples of how to word your request.
Well, a year later, we’re starting to see more and more couples choosing to unplug their weddings. New York’s Ryan Brenizer Photography recently posted this photo of a wedding program on his Facebook wall, with the caption, “I saw this in the wedding program yesterday. Fantastic.” Looks like they read Offbeat Bride!

(Plus, we’ve got one batch of bonus vows from an Offbeat Bride reader!)
