Due to Coronavirus and CDC restrictions we have decided to postpone our wedding for a later date. We are still unsure as to when that might be but as soon as we figure out when will be a safe time to gather — we promise, you will be the first to know! We know this sucks, especially for friends and family who’ve purchased flights — we couldn’t have planned for something like this. Please stay safe & check back here for wedding updates. We’ll have even more to celebrate when this is all said and done!

They kept dancing. "...it turned out so right, for strangers in the night..." He dropped to one knee & she said "yes."
