Question

Why are you getting married during a pandemic?

Answer

With the curveballs that life as thrown all of us in the last year, one of the few certainties was that we want to spend our lives together. We're having a small gathering with close family in Austin in a way that feels safe amidst a pandemic, and hope to celebrate with all of you when times look different. P.S. We still have issues with the institution of marriage.
