Over the last few months, the world has turned upside down and we have all had to make some really difficult decisions and sacrifices. After pushing back our initial wedding date, we later found out that our venue was sadly closing permanently. Instead of scrambling to find a new venue big enough, we have spent the last few weeks thinking (& crying) about what our new wedding would look like under these wild circumstances. Alex and I are ready to begin our life together, so we plan to still exchange vows on September 4th, just a little different than we originally planned. While we wanted all of you there with us, the ongoing pandemic has forced us to drastically reduce the size of our guest list. To ensure everyone’s safety, we hope to have a more intimate gathering with just our families and wedding party. We hope you understand that this is a decision we never imagined having to make, nor was it an easy one. We love every single person that we invited to our wedding, and this is heartbreaking for us. Please don’t forget to have a toast in our honor on September 4th as we make our vows to one another. This is not how we envisioned entering married life, but we do so with an even greater appreciation for life and love. Stay safe and well! Love, Abbi and Alex
