To Our Dear Friends and Family: It is hard to believe that by the time we reach our wedding date this September, more than six months will have passed since the WHO declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. Unfortunately, even in late September, we likely will still be many months or even years away from the necessary developments that will allow society a full return to our pre-pandemic ways of life. With our guests’ health, safety, and comfort at the forefront of our minds, we have made the difficult to decision to cancel the big wedding we had planned. Instead, we will get married on private property in the presence of only our immediate families. Though we are disappointed that we will miss seeing so many of our loved ones on our special day, we are looking forward to a beautiful, intimate gathering with our parents and siblings on September 26th. Since we began planning our wedding in May 2019, the world has become a substantially different place. We consider ourselves blessed in that our love for each other has only deepened during these challenging times. Further, we are more grateful than ever to have received such unwavering support and encouragement from all of you, our dear friends and family spread throughout the country. We are so sorry for any inconvenience our change of plans may have caused you. We look forward to reconnecting with each and every one of you again soon, and in the meantime, we wish you nothing but the best! Love, Lynne & Tom
