OUR POLICY:

• Wedding announcements must be submitted within six months of the wedding. Announcements submitted after six months will not be published. Weddings are printed in the Sunday Lifestyle section as space allows, so we regret that we cannot guarantee a specific publication date.

• Photos may be color or black and white. They should be crisp and of good quality. Polaroids, faxes and computer printouts are not acceptable. If you would like your photo returned, you must include a self-addressed, stamped envelope. We are not responsible for lost or damaged photos.

• All wedding announcements must be proofread and approved by the submitting party prior to publication. Once you approve the announcement, reprints will not be permitted.

• By submitting this form, you acknowledge that you have read and agree with our policy.
