we're getting married!

To those who received a postponement for our event on September 26th, we are scheduling a family BBQ for sometime next Summer where all will be invited to celebrate a year of our marriage. Stay tuned for invites to that later this year. For all else, the event is scheduled to still take place on the 26th, but has been downsized in accordance with Covid-19 guidelines for VA.

Due to the on-going corona-virus pandemic, we have had to restrict the size of our wedding reception. Those in attendance have been limited to direct family and members of both parties (in addition to the necessary operational staff). Because of this, unless otherwise noted on your invitation, we are not permitting +1s to attend. We extend our sincere apologies and want to thank everyone for complying with our request. These are unprecedented times, and in the interest of everyone's health and safety, we must take these necessary precautions. If there are any questions, please contact us directly.

Anthony and I met online and after a week of talking we agreed to meet. Even with my criminal justice and law school background I agreed to meet at his apartment so we could walk to dinner. As I approached his house, I sent him a text letting him know I arrived and knocked on the front door. That is when he responded, "I live in the basement around back." My first thought was, "this is where I die." But as I saw him come around the corner to meet me, I knew my family and friends would understand why I went to meet him when he showed up on the news. Thankfully, he was not a closet murderer and we were inseparable from then on.
