Due to the COVID-19 public health crisis, we decided to postpone our wedding until September 25, 2021. We wanted all of our guests to feel safe, healthy, and able to celebrate with us without worry. We can't wait until we are all together in 2021!
For everyone's health and safety, we hope that all attendees will be vaccinated for COVID-19 if medically able to do so. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), this is the most effective way to prevent the spread of COVID-19. If you will not be vaccinated at least two weeks in advance of our wedding, please let us know. We may ask unvaccinated guests to wear a mask or socially distance during the event. Of course, this depends on several factors including the risk level for the unvaccinated in late September. This is a fluid situation and we want to do what’s best for everyone. Please reach out at esther.n.james2020 [at] gmail.com to start the conversation.
We’d love to know if you can make it! Please RSVP by September 1, 2021 using the RSVP card that will be arriving in the mail or via our RSVP section online.
