Above all else: we love each other, and you.

Hi There, Alex and Kelsey here with some updates on our big day. This year has thrown a lot of curveballs our (and everyone’s) way, to say the least. We were so excited to plan a big celebration with all of you – to laugh, make memories, and dance (Kelsey says, “ESPECIALLY THE DANCING!”). But, over the past few months, we have found ourselves at a stand-still in the planning department. With so much still up-in-the-air, it has been difficult to move forward with and make decisions about our big day. Even more-so, it’s been difficult to stay focused and excited for our wedding – when it could ultimately force our loved ones to place their health and well-being at risk. So together, and with the help and support of our families, we’ve made some much needed (but very difficult) decisions. We will be canceling our large celebration in 2020, but not our wedding. Our plan is to hold a private ceremony with our parents, siblings, and nephews later this year. We are so sad and disappointed that we won’t be having the wedding we “imagined” with all of you, our friends and family from across the U.S. However, we are relieved to have made a decision, knowing that we are doing all we can to keep our friends and family, whom we love SO much, safe and healthy. And, we’re excited to be excited (again) about our wedding. Please know that we love you and wish things were different this year (in more ways than one). At the end of the day, we love each other so much and just want to be husband and wife - but we aren't willing to risk your health or wellness to do so. We hope someday in the near future we can laugh, drink, dance (especially dance!), and share wonderful memories with everyone we hold dear - in one room. Until then, we will do all we can to find ways to celebrate with each and every one of you as much as possible - even if not in person. We promise to keep you updated as the year goes on, which includes news on any celebration we may plan for 2021.

Because even though this has been a very difficult and somewhat devastating decision for us, we know we are UNBELIEVABLY lucky to have you in our lives. Your calls, texts, and messages of support mean so much to us - especially during a time when there are so many other happenings in the world to worry about and focus on. We're overwhelmed with the support we've received and continue to receive. We love you and appreciate you so very much!
