Question

How has Covid-19 impacted your wedding plans?

Answer

Covid-19 has hit us like a ton of bricks. This has been one of the hardest seasons decision-wise for us. We so desperately wanted every single person we love to be able to celebrate in person with us. But as the state started to make hard decisions about gatherings, we too had to make hard decisions while also trying to curate a day that we would still enjoy to the fullest. Our wedding plans changed about 10 different times, and even now we are unsure what things will look like the day of. However, we have truly learned that nothing is promised, and every day is a gift. We are trying to live in joy of the future no matter what that may look like for us. We are more than grateful for your understanding and sympathy during this season.

Question

Why is there a livestream?

Answer

We originally invited 315 people and even now we want those 315 people to still be able to be witnesses of our marriage. Each of you are so important to us, and we want you to be there despite Covid-19.

Question

How did you decide who to invite?

Answer

Because of the 50 person maximum and social distancing regulations at El Paso County wedding venues, this was the hardest thing for us, and we still second guess the decisions we've made. We have had to include immediate family (we both have large immediate families), wedding party (our best friends from over the years), mentors (those who invested in us via premarital counseling, etc.), and essential workers (photographer, caterers, sound workers, DJ, coordinator, florist, makeup and hair artist, etc.) in our 50 person maximum. Unfortunately this has left us very little space for anyone else. People and venues are so strict with numbers and it's the worst! But, we are just thankful to be able to have the 50 people. Pray for people's hearts as they receive the hard news, and pray for us as we try to move forward in wisdom and love.

Question

How has Covid-19 affected your relationship?

Answer

It has been hard, but we believe the Lord had an incredible plan for our relationship through it all! He has been more than gracious with us. We have grown so much. We have learned that it's so easy to get caught up in wedding planning and forget about our relationship and the marriage that comes after the wedding. The wedding is only one day, but the marriage is forever! We have been able to refocus on the things that are eternal and that things that brought us together. Covid-19 helped us slow down and accept that it's okay when things don't go as we had hoped. It taught us that we are not guaranteed tomorrow and that we need to be grateful for today. I taught us that life if short. We only have right now, so how are we going to live well and love people right now? We can plan all we want, but the Lord knows better and His ways are always better. He directs our path, even when we don't understand how or why. He is in control and we can rest in that.
