Having a Wedding During a Pandemic

PLEASE REFER HERE FOR WHAT WE ARE DOING TO KEEP THE WEDDING COVID-19 FREE!

We fortunately are able to have our friends and family attend our wedding! We are so excited. It might look a little different than what weddings normally look like because of COVID. Although the ceremony and reception are entirely outdoors (in grass - so dress accorindingly), to mitigate exposure - masks and social distancing will be REQUIRED. This is to ensure the safety of you all and ourselves. We will have socially distanced seating with labels for the ceremony, putting immediate families / friends that frequent each other's company next to each other. A similar deal will occur with the reception. Hand sanitizer will be everywhere, so take advantage and use it! Masks can be removed to eat and drink, of course. But please - put your mask back on once you are through if you plan to mingle. Thank you so much for helping us deal with all of the craziness that goes on with planning a wedding during a pandemic. We are so thankful for all of you.

How We Met

Once Upon a Right Swipe...

Dean and Chloé (somewhat embarrassingly) met on Tinder. If you don't know, Tinder is a dating app. They both weren't looking for anything serious, just talking to other people. Chloé had her "radius" only set out to 25 miles from where she was from, so the odds of her matching with someone in GEORGIA was slim to none. Somehow - they still "swiped right" on each other. They had normal, playful conversation for a while on Tinder, then they began texting, then Skyping, then the next thing they knew... Dean was in Birmingham all the way from Savannah, GA taking Chloé on their first date. They ate at Rojo in downtown Birmingham, visited Railroad Park, the Vulcan (even though Dean was terribly afraid of heights), and even went to Waffle House to end the night! If you know them - that was honestly perfect. After that, Dean went back to Savannah, GA where he was stationed at Fort Stewart. The next weekend, he was visiting again, and the rest was history. They have been together ever since March 11, 2017. Dean proposed to Chloé on November 30, 2019 where they had their first date - at the Vulcan. Although, this time... he did NOT have the guts to go back to the top of the Vulcan. With many miles between them due to Dean's army contract, they have made it this far. Now - Dean is in Auburn, AL with Chloé as they both continue their education for computer science and veterinary medicine. Power couple goals, am I right? Now, they are ready to make a final commitment to each other as man and wife.
