Question

What precautions are you taking in light of the COVID-19 pandemic? Do I need to be vaccinated?

Answer

We are committed to abiding by West Point post rules for hosting our event. To that end, we ask the following: 1. Out of respect for the high-risk family and friends in attendance, we ask that all of our guests be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 at least two weeks prior to our wedding. To that end, our reception venue has requested documentation of vaccination from each of our guests. Please send Sam and/or Tommy a copy of your vaccination information as soon as possible. 2. Please plan to mask at each of our wedding events. We will have disposable masks available for those who need them.
