Being vaccinated (if that is an option for you) remains the best way to be protected against the virus and it's mutations. Please feel free to wear a mask to the wedding if it makes you more comfortable. If there are any changes to the plans we will let you know but at this time there are not. OLD: First and foremost we are hoping for an effective vaccine rollout to vulnerable populations, BIPOC communities, and frontline and essential workers to reduce the amount of lives lost during this pandemic. We are consistently evaluating the country's COVID-19 situation and will keep all of you informed of any major changes to the wedding plans.
Semi-formal please.
