Welcome to
Emma and Fred’s Wedding!
SURPRISE!
That’s right! We’re not filming any scenes from the movie. Instead, we’re on a journey to start our lives together! We’re so excited you could be with us for our big day!
We’ve got lots of fun activities planned for you over the next several days.
But first, we’d love to keep this wedding in the family—so please, no posting of pictures or videos while you’re here.

29Okay, maybe I said “please” once or twice in the bedroom, but I don’t like to think about that.
30There’s at least one celebrity who should be canceled but somehow isn’t who lost a lot of money this way.
