Because of spikes in COVID cases in Dane County, the new regulations as of July 2 are 25 people max for an outdoor gathering. Therefore, we are sadly canceling the Reception in Shifts plan!
While emailing the bride with your plans is helpful, at this point we no longer need RSVPs. Those who are healthy and can come of those who have been invited are welcome to simply show up!
Because the reception has been cancelled, we plan to extend the livestream to include the Matron of Honor speech and the Best Man speech. Here's how it will work: After the ceremony is finished, the livestream will go to a slideshow of the bride and groom followed by a 10-minute break. During the break, those at the church will watch the special dances. Because of copyright laws, we are not allowed to stream this part! Then, the livestream will return with the speeches for any online guests who'd like to stick around for them.
