What will happen if COVID is still around next year?

Answer

Although we are hoping and wishing that COVID will minimize as much as possible for next year, we understand that there is still a possibility that it may be around. We are still going to keep moving forward with getting married on our decided date. We will socially distance as much as possible while still having as much fun as possible! If you wish to wear a facemask, you are more than welcome to do so! There will be hand sanitizer located throughout the venue. As we get closer to the date, we will make final decisions on what will actually happen reception wise. We will keep you posted!
