After many conversations and thoughtful consideration, we have decided that all guests need to be vaccinated in order to attend our wedding. This was not an easy decision to make, but one that is based on public health principles and love for our family and friends. The science and research shows that vaccinations are safe, and that they are the most effective way to protect our loved ones from COVID-19 and severe illness. We feel that this is the best way for our guests (and us as hosts) to be able to enjoy our special day with minimal stress or worry. We respect everyone's individual decisions around vaccinations and we hope that you all can respect our decision as well. Should our opinion on this matter change due to shifting public health guidance or changes in the pandemic, we will let you know.
