When you gave us the advice that weddings never go to plan...you should have been more specific! It is truly an interesting time to be an American, or a human in general during this time. We are blessed to know each other, and we are blessed to know you. Amanda and I decided we did not want to wait through this separated from one another, so we had a small ceremony on 04/04/2020. We vowed to honor and love each other for the rest of our lives before God (...in front of six people). Of course, this was not ideal as we would love to see you and celebrate with you. I know Amanda would look amazing in her dress, and I still want to see that! The dress is locked away and under permanent guard (exaggerated but mostly true). Genuinely, Amanda wants to walk down the aisle in front of all of you, dance with her father, and me (hopefully). We are excited to see all of you this winter, and we pray we will be able to have a safe and fun celebration. Sincerely, John O'Brien
