Weddings are usually filled with beautiful moments that guests are excited to capture and share on social media.
But one couple has decided to do things a little differently.
A wedding board has gone viral on TikTok after the bride and groom politely asked their guests not to post anything from their special day.
The welcome board clearly stated no photos, no videos, no stories and no sharing.
The couple explained that they were trying to keep their special day intimate and most importantly be fully present in the moment.
Instead of worrying about getting the perfect photo or video for social media, they wanted their guests to simply enjoy the celebration with them and help keep their memories private.
The message ended with a simple thank you to their guests for understanding and celebrating alongside them.
While many people could relate to the couple's wish for privacy, one comment under the viral video caught attention for a completely different reason.
One netizen jokingly suggested that the couple should have added another BIG and BOLD instruction:
“NO BOX GIFT OR ENVELOPE — ONLY BLESSINGS.”
The comment quickly added a humorous twist to the discussion with many people likely wondering, if we're already being given a list of wedding rules, should gift instructions be included too?
Jokes aside, the viral post highlights how wedding etiquette is changing in the age of social media.
For some couples, keeping their wedding offline means being able to enjoy the day without worrying about their photos appearing online before they are ready. For others, sharing photos and videos is simply part of celebrating the occasion with loved ones.
At the end of the day, every couple has their own idea of how they want their wedding memories to be kept.
And if a couple asks you to put your phone down and enjoy the moment with them, perhaps the best gift really is being present.
But the real question is
Would you be okay attending a wedding where you're not allowed to post anything?
