We encourage everyone to get tested for COVID-19 a month before the wedding, and need everyone to have a negative test result within 24 hours prior to the wedding to ensure no one tests positive before entering the reception, and risks spreading COVID-19 to others. Per the other FAQ, please get tested as close as possible to the wedding date. Getting tested well in advance ensures we know ahead of time of a positive COVID situation, and thus avoid any false positives during the rapid testing process. If you are flying in, we also highly encourage getting tested before taking any flights. Please be mindful and try to refrain from risky behavior if possible prior to the wedding date if possible.
Masks will be required at both the ceremony / Church as well as the reception (The Addision), except while eating or drinking. Due to the amount of people that will be flying in, this is one of the best ways we can ensure everyone's safety.
Social distancing will be enacted at the ceremony / Church, as well as encouraged at the reception, as best as possible.
Only married and engaged partners are invited, currently unless previously cleared with Joseph and Kristi.
