Well we had hoped this whole mess would be done and over with by our wedding on October 16th, 2020. Unfortunately, that isn’t the case here in MI and there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight. That said we have decided that we are going to be getting married that day – things are just going to look a little bit different than originally planned. Instead of a traditional dinner and dancing event, we have decided to shorten the evening to a simple cocktail reception. We understand that this is not a normal situation and have done our best to make the decision that give us a wedding day surrounded by our loved ones and also keeps everyone comfortable. If you aren't comfortable outside in a large group we completely understand, we would love to see you, but we would love it more if you do what you are most comfortable with.
- We will be providing Red, Yellow, and Green bracelets for everyone. Please be sure to grab one that reflects how much social distancing you want, this will make it easier for everyone to respect one another’s boundaries. - The ceremony will have chairs seated in aisles but you are welcome to chose to stand to the side if you would prefer to socially distance more than what the chair spacing allows. - THERE WILL NOT BE A DINNER, we have decided that a short cocktail reception allows for better social distancing and doesn’t require our friends and family to sit in close proximity to one another without masks on to eat if they aren’t comfortable with it. - The outdoor space has covered and uncovered areas so that regardless of weather, the event will remain outdoors.
Unfortunately due to the current state restrictions, we had to significantly reduce our guest list. This was not an easy decision for us and quite honestly, it sucked. We didn't want to have to do it but we weren't really left with a choice. Please know that if you got a save the date, we wanted you there with us that day, you are still loved, and you will be in our thoughts that day no matter what!
We love your kids—we really do. But we want our wedding to be your night off so we are requesting an adults-only evening.
If your invitation says “and Guest,” then yes, if not, we would prefer if it was just you.
Due to or reception plans changing, we no longer have a shuttle service scheduled.
