FAQs

Question

In light of the COVID-19 outbreak, why don’t you postpone the wedding?

Answer

We’ve struggled a lot with this question but, unfortunately, our hand is forced by our move overseas in June 2021 (and us needing to be married by March in order for Morgan to be included on Paul’s travel orders to Kosovo). Until a vaccine is available, we do not expect conditions to be any different than they’ll be on September 26, and have decided to proceed as planned.
