We are completely committed to having this wedding in a way that is unquestionably safe and responsible. If at any point we do not feel this is a possibility any longer, we will, unfortunately, make the decision to cancel all in-person events. Please make sure to occasionally check here for any updates. That being said, we are relying on all of you to help us create the safest event possible. Since the COVID-19 vaccine will very soon be available to all adults living in the United States, we are politely requiring all those who would like to attend our wedding and are able to receive the vaccine do so. If you are not able to be safely vaccinated by our wedding date, please reach out to us so that we can discuss options. We absolutely do not want any of our guests to feel excluded by this policy, we just want to make sure that we are doing everything possible to host this celebration in a safe and responsible way.
In addition to the entire wedding taking place outdoors, there will be masks required, and provided, during specific points in the evening, primarily to accommodate the requests of some of our vendors. Additionally, and obviously, you are welcome to wear your own mask for as much of the evening as you would like, but we want everyone to be aware that we will not be enforcing masks or social distancing for the majority of the event. We feel that even at weddings where masks are required, it is nearly impossible to enforce this rule once the drinks start flowing and people start dancing. This is a major reason why we are requiring all guests who are able to be vaccinated are so before the wedding. If the status of the pandemic is such that requiring and enforcing masks would be the only "safe" way to have this event, then we don't feel that it would truly be safe to have such a large event at all, and most likely we would make the very difficult decision not to host it.
Because of the pandemic, we did decide to make it official in 2020...but we still want to celebrate with you! We will still be having a ceremony where we renew our vows exactly one year after we made our marriage official, and then we'll party virus free!
The ceremony and reception will both take place in the bride's parent's backyard. The evening's festivities will take place outdoors under a tent, so depending on the weather, it might not be a bad idea to bring a sweater, and probably best not to wear stilettos
While we would love to celebrate with as many people as possible, please refrain from bringing a guest unless one is specifically mentioned in your invitation.
We love your kids, we really do! However, we're going to be embracing an adults only atmosphere for our wedding.
