Answer

If you have any questions, please contact Edith, the maid of honor and sister of the bride. You can email her at evelez18@gmail.com or text her at (614) 226-5587. If you call her, she probably won't answer because she's a millennial and unplanned phone calls give her anxiety. But if you leave a voicemail she'll definitely call you back!
