Questions and Answers + COVID-19

Question

Are masks required? Will they be provided?

Answer

Our goal is to keep everyone healthy and happy! That being said, we do request that you wear a mask during the ceremony. At the reception we will ask that you wear a mask when approaching bars and congregated in groups. Good news - we will have masks for you! But if you have a fancy one you're ready to show off please do! :)

Question

I want to attend but how do I make sure others know my comfort level?

Answer

We will have three colored wristbands available upon arrival to the reception. These will allow you to choose your comfort level so others know as well - please keep 6 ft distance, ok with being close but please no touching, or bring on the hugs! We respect everyones various comfort levels so no wrong answers.

Question

I am feeling a little indecisive.

Answer

Our goal for the wedding is to make sure everyone arrives and leaves healthy. Please ask yourself these 3 questions before arriving - Am I experiencing any cold-like symptoms? Has a household member had symptoms or tested positive for COVID-19 in the past 14 days? Have I come into contact with anyone who tested positive or showed symptoms for COVID-19 in the last 14 days? If you answer Yes to any of these questions please know, we want you to celebrate with us, but it is best not to. Our moment with you will come! Just better it be in the future!!
