We originally anticipated a wedding celebration of 120 guests from not only all over the US but also from other countries. However, given everything that's happening, we have decided to cancel our planned formal wedding and proceed with a more informal gathering instead. Celina and I are still getting married on July 4th, minus the formal reception after.
Our original ceremony venue is at Balboa Park's Saint Francis Chapel, but this is still tentative. The venue has not given us an official green light that the ceremony can take place. Even if we are allowed to have our ceremony at Saint Francis Chapel, we will only have our family and a few intimate friends. We apologize that we cannot include you due to safety and city guideline concerns.
As of now, we still don't know. Celina and I will continue to discuss the possibility and share our decision as soon as we can.
If you received our postcard about our small gathering on July 4, then YAY! We hope that you are able to attend. Like the postcard notes, it's nothing fancy, but simply a gathering of love with dinner, drinks, and dancing. We've invited no more than 40 guests. Do note that we still plan to practice social distancing and other safety precaution. We will not require you to wear a mask but your temperature will be checked before entering the premises.
