FAQs

Question

What is your plan with COVID-19?

Answer

Our top priority is to have our guests safe, happy, and healthy together. We know that we are all excited for things to get back to normal. We are too but are taking things one day at a time. The effective vaccine is projected to be out by May of 2021 to everyone. By our wedding, everyone should have the chance to be fully vaccinated. We will communicate with updates when available.

Question

Will you still have the wedding and reception then?

Answer

Our wedding will take place June 19, 2021. We want everyone to be there, but our church is only at half capacity right now. For those that cannot be there, we will live stream our service to Facebook for everyone to share our love. We will still have the reception. We have hope that the vaccine is distributed to everyone by our wedding date. We recommend that you are fully vaccinated by the wedding date. If not, we ask that you socially distance, wear a mask when not eating or drinking, and wash your hands often. We also recommend that you test for the virus about a week before the wedding. If you are experiencing any symptoms related to COVID-19, please stay at home. Thank you so much for keeping our families safe and taking the precautions to enjoy our day together.
