FAQs
Question
Is a COVID-19 negative test result required?
Answer
Yes. More and more people that are fully vaccinated are testing positive for COVID so now our venue is requiring all guests to show proof of a negative COVID test prior to attending our wedding. We understand that this is frustrating, but this would mean the world to us if you all are there to spend our special day with us.
Question
When should I get tested and how do I show proof?
Answer
The test should be taken 72 hours from 9/9/21, so please schedule your COVID test no earlier than 8am on Monday 9/6/21. Please text a photo of your negative COVID test along with your full name to Junna Belle (the maid of honor) at 408-314-0592 by 9/9/21 at 11pm. We are collecting results the day before since we will be busy on the day of the wedding getting ready for the event. If you fail to text your results by the deadline, then you unfortunately won’t be able to attend. For those of you who wish to no longer attend because of this new requirement, we are sad to see you go but completely understand. If that is the case, please let us know by Friday 8/20/21 so we can update your RSVP. Again, we apologize for the inconvenience. For any questions or concerns please text Junna Belle at 408-314-0592.

Question
Will you encourage social distancing and masks?
Answer
8/8/21 UPDATE: The wedding venue is requiring masks when indoors unless eating or drinking. Please be sure to bring your own mask since we won’t be supplying masks at the venue. We are expecting between 100-120 guests but won't be enforcing social distancing since everyone is fully vaccinated and will be wearing masks. If you are still uncomfortable, we encourage you to refrain from handshakes, hugs, or other physical contact with any guests outside of your household.

What is the dress code?
Answer
Daytime Semi-Formal Men can wear a lightweight suits or dress pants-and-blazer combination in a light color, necktie optional. For women, this is a great time to wear a lightweight, light-colored day dress or floral dress. The lighter color suggestion isn't mandatory but please be sure you are dressed in semi-formal attire.
