After careful consideration, we’ve decided to go forward with our wedding on February 6, 2022. While we are looking forward to celebrating with of friends and family, we want to be mindful of safety. Instead of a long seated brunch with everyone unmasked and eating for two hours, we’ve decided to offer hors d'oeuvres, with smaller tables spread throughout the venue. There is a Zoom option for those who cannot join us--your safety comes first. Also, we’ve cancelled the afterparty. Here’s what we’re asking of you: 1) If you haven’t done so already, please consider getting the COVID-19 vaccine. 2) Whether or not you have received a vaccine, get tested for COVID-19 within 72 hours prior to our wedding, and only attend if your results are negative. Please also consider getting tested about 4-5 days after our wedding, too. #StopTheSpread 3) Wear a mask (or two!) throughout the event unless you are literally putting food or a drink in your mouth at that moment. 4) If you change your mind and decide that you don’t feel comfortable attending, that is 100% okay! Please just let us know by changing your RSVP online. You can do this at anytime — even the day before the wedding. We understand that the pandemic is constantly shifting, and your risk tolerance can change at any moment. We want to celebrate with you, but please do not feel pressure to come — make the decision that you feel is best for you and your family.
It was a dark and stormy night... Ok, it was actually only a little rainy. Sara got stuck in said rain on her way to dinner, so she ducked into West End Wine Bar. She ended up skipping dinner and staying for hours to check out the hot guitar guy as subtly as she could while drinking wine on an empty stomach (which is to say, not subtly at all)... Keenan was filling in as the evening's musician at West End when he found himself sneaking glances at a woman hanging out alone in the bar. He hoped he wasn't imagining the glances she was throwing his way too. And while they didn't get together that night (she didn't have a pen or paper, he didn't stop playing until she'd already left), eventually a friend took pity on them and gave Keenan Sara's name. Two weeks and a handful of emails later, they were finally meeting up at the local speakeasy, where Keenan swept Sara off her feet with his brilliant first date questions that he stole from the New York Times. Exactly six years after that first date, we are so grateful to be gathered with our closest family and friends to celebrate our love for one another.
