We’re getting married!

Hello everyone, With everything going on in the world, wedding planning has definitely had its ups and downs. As we stayed in contact with our venues we were originally told the whole wedding could happen with social distancing. In light of new restrictions and recent events, we were blindsided with the fact that there could no longer be any form of a reception allowed as of July 30th. After many negotiations and backup plans we finally reached the conclusion that we value our guests too much to participate in any illegal activities or put anyone in danger. Our purpose of this message is to regretfully inform you that we are cancelling our wedding reception to comply with new Covid-19 regulations. Thankfully we are still able to hold the ceremony on August 8th and all are welcomed to join. For anyone who cannot make it, we cannot wait to share with you a video of these special moments. For those attending, we have also made a list of restaurants and fun weekend activities will be listed on the wedding website. Thank you all so much for the love and support that you have shown us and we hope to see you all at our ceremony! :) With Love, Ethan and Jessica

After an amazing dinner, Ethan got out of the car with a special surprise in mind. After driving up a mountain road he pulled out a flashlight and some flannels for the walk up to the viewpoint. The light barely showed the path and her new heels were not doing any favors in the dirt. After 20 minutes and lots of speculation about where they were going, they finally reached the hilltop and Jessica was suddenly overwhelmed with the view of the LA city lights and the moonlit abandoned helicopter landing. Many hours of deep conversation went by and a close friendship grew into something deeper. This date (and maybe first kiss...) was the start of so much more than they could have ever dreamed of.

It was halfway through their trip to Europe and they were already blown away by the places they had seen. Switzerland was by far Ethan and Jessica’s favorite country and it was only about to get better. They had spent the whole day traveling and were exhausted before getting onto another train. This time they were going to see the Matterhorn and although it seemed exciting, Jessica was starting to wonder if it was worth the all of the travel. The girls all dressed up to take pictures and hours later they were getting closer to their destination. After a series of some rather unfortunate mishaps, all was forgotten as they began to see the peak of the mountain on the rising gondola. Their first steps into the snow were absolutely breathtaking. It was a beautiful warm day with crisp fresh air and glistening snow. Everything was perfect and the girls began to take some goofy pictures. It was suggested that a group picture should be taken and everyone gathered around. Afterwards Ethan wanted a picture with Jessica and grabbed her hands. He slowly got down on one knee and her mind started racing. Once she understood what was happening there was no control of her joy and emotions. Of course the answer was yes and the rest of the day was pure bliss. It was a day of pure beauty, love, friendship, and happiness. A day to be remembered for a lifetime.
