Attention all friends and family, we are so excited to celebrate our wedding day with you! As we all start to socialize again there are COVID related guidelines our venue has instructed us to follow. Our venue has reduced their maximum occupancy guideline, and it is smaller than we had planned for. As we adhere to this new guideline we politely ask that you do not bring any one with you who is not named on your invitation. While this is a hard conversation for Daniel and I to have, it is one that must be addressed. We wish that we could invite every person we know and love, but we simply cannot. If you invitation does not specify that you can bring a plus one, do not bring one. Additionally, if someone in your party is not able to attend please indicate that on your RSVP, and do not fill that spot with another friend or family member. Our guest list is currently over the allowed occupancy limit and we want to avoid having to turn anyone away. We know that these new guidelines may deter some of our guests from attending and we completely understand that. Please let us know your RSVP status as soon as possible. Thank you.

Daniel and I met on the dating App Bumble, and while that might not be traditional, it is becoming a common way to meet someone. Lucky for us our right swipes lead us to a wonderful first date where we shared some yummy and messy ribs (which I tried to eat very nicely, lol). Daniel was a bit shy at first, and it took him a while to warm up, but as the evening went on I could tell he was getting more comfortable. We talked about our interests, friends, family, and goals and I felt so at ease with him. At the end of the date he walked me to my car and gave me a hug good bye. I knew I wanted to see him again but I wasn't sure if he felt the same, but as soon as I got home he called me and talked my ear off... and asked me out on a second date. And just like that, our love story began.
