As we all adapt to an uncertain time with COVID-19, we are monitoring the news carefully. At this time, we have been advised that a January wedding would be safe. That being said, the safety of our guests is our utmost priority. We are prepared to take every precaution necessary to make our wedding safe for our guests, but we understand if you cannot attend our celebration due to health reasons. Feel free to contact us directly with any questions. Thank you for your love, patience, and concern. Alan & Emily
