The Johnson City Press is not responsible for illeligible and incorrect information on wedding forms and reserves the right to edit the text of stories according to established policies.

Relationships of wedding party members will only be mentioned if they are brothers, sisters, parents or grandparents, and if the relationship is listed on this form.

Wedding attendants that perform a ceremonial function -- bridesmaids, groomsmen and flower girls, for example -- may be included in the wedding story provided that their names and roles are included on the form.

The Johnson City Press does not, however, list the names of technical advisors and/or planners such as wedding coordinators, photographers and music supervisors. The newspaper does not publish information on pre-nuptial showers, rehearsal dinners or out-of-town guests listings.

To be published in the Johnson City Press, wedding stories must include the following items: full name of groom and bride, the day and date of the ceremony, the location of the ceremony (such as name of church, courthouse, chapel, etc.), the city and state where the ceremony took place and the officiant (such as a reverend, minister, rabbi or county clerk).

NAMES: The names of parents who are married can be listed two ways. For example: 1.) "Mr. and Mrs. John Smith" or 2.) "John and Jan Smith." If the parents are divorced, please list them separately on the form and show their separate addresses. Deceased parents and grandparents should be identified as " the late ...."

PHOTOGRAPHS: Either black and white or color photographs can be used, but to reproduce well, any photograph must be sharply focused. Photos shot with a “soft” focus will not reproduce well in the newspaper. The best reproduction comes from a black-and-white, glossy print, but, again, most photos work well if they have a sharp and clear focus. Photographs that will not reproduce reasonably true to image will NOT be accepted. The Johnson City Press reserves the right to refuse any photo.

For your convenience, attach a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the wedding form, and your photograph will be mailed back to you. If you do not, your picture will be held for pickup at the Johnson City Press for two months. After two months, unclaimed photos are thrown away. The newspaper will take reasonable care to safeguard photos but will not be responsible for loss or damage. If you turn a photograph in at the Elizabethton or Erwin bureaus, the photograph will be sent back to the bureau within a week. You may pick up your photo there. The newspaper will take reasonable care to safeguard photographs, but will not be responsible for loss or damage.

DEADLINES: Deadline is 4 p.m. 10 days prior to the date of publication. All wedding stories will appear in the Tempo section of the Sunday edition.

To submit an announcement by mail, send the form to Tempo -- Weddings, Johnson City Press, P.O. Box 1717, Johnson City, TN 37605. If a photo is to be used with the wedding story, include the photo and a check made out to the Johnson City Press for the total amount based on the size of photograph you wish to use.
