Celebration postponed, please see message below.

Dear friends and family, It is with reluctance and disappointment that we have decided to postpone our wedding once again. When we made the decision to have the wedding this October, the news was telling a much different story -- infection numbers were on a rapid decline and a life “back to normal” was just around the corner. However, due to the many guests who would be traveling from various regions of the country and the rising number of cases (at the time of writing, infections are back to where they were in November 2020), we cannot in good conscience continue to hold this wedding in October. While vaccinations have reduced the harm that could be done if an outbreak did occur at our wedding, we have to be mindful of the immunocompromised and unvaccinated members of our community who could be put in a life-threatening position from such a gathering. Both of our occupations involve working with communities, Bella in particular with children who are not yet eligible to be vaccinated. As most of you know by now, we married each other by way of town hall on January 16th 2020. When the pandemic began, we understood that it would be in our best interest to postpone our celebration until we could have one that puts nobody at risk. We are optimistic that the near future will provide a time where we can gather in a way that feels completely safe, but unfortunately now does not feel like the time. With love, Bella + Casey
