First and foremost our guest health and safety are most important to us. Our venue is taking all precautions in order to abide by COVID 19 guidelines and to adhere to the safety of the people that are most important to us. We have also personally created and planned additional safety measures that we thought would allow everyone to have the best time while also being safe. Listed below are precautions that we will be taking: - Temperatures will be checked upon arrival at the ceremony. - Mask will be provided but not required. We encourage you to wear a mask if it makes you feel more comfortable and at ease! - Hand sanitizer will be provided throughout the venue and the reception. - All venue staff members and vendors are required to wear masks throughout the duration of the event (excluding certain band members). - Both reception ballrooms ( which have the capacity to hold 400 people ) will be opened during cocktail hour in order to allow guests ample amount of room to space out and be comfortable while enjoying their drinks and appetizers. - Some cocktail tables will be placed outside in order for guests to get fresh air. - Dinner will be plated and served to you at your assigned table. - Upon request, guests can order drinks from the table in order to decrease foot traffic throughout the dining area and bar. - Guests will be encouraged to remain seated for the duration of the first dances, dinner, toast, and cutting of the cake in order to minimize gathering and movement while eating. - Champagne for the toast will be delivered to you at your table as well as cake following the cutting of the cake. Please be mindful if you start to show symptoms and refrain from attending, we will miss you but have to prioritize the safety of the rest of our guests. We love you all and are so excited to celebrate with you so soon! Love, David and Hanna Grace
I have known Hanna Grace since I was a child. Well sort of, apparently we went on vacation together a few times when we were less than 5 years old but I have never really remembered that. So in reality we met when we were in High School. We started dating in January of 2014. I had to beg her for months to give me a chance and told her she would not regret it. Well, she finally gave in and I lived up to my promise. I am not going to say that college was not hard for us, because we went from seeing each other every day to maybe seeing each other once every two weeks. We are both thankful in the end for that experience because it taught us to grow up and become serious about our relationship with each other. I knew that Hanna Grace was the woman that I wanted to marry but I was a poor college kid so once I had saved up enough money after graduation I asked her to be my wife down by the Chattahoochee River before dinner. It was weird that I was nervous, even though I knew there was a 1 million percent chance that she was going to say yes I was still shaking nervous. Reality hit at that point that I was finally going to get to marry the woman of my dreams after all these years. We have been dating for over 6 years now and there is never a day that I do not thank God that he brought Hanna Grace into my life. Daily I think about how excited I am that I get to spend the rest of my life with my best friend.
