We will be using the hashtag #GroesbeckMadeAVish for all wedding-related posts on Instagram. Don't forget to tag @lordsriya and @fenderspeed in your posts, either!
To encourage as much social distancing as possible, all of the wedding events will be held outside with guests requested to wear their masks over their nose and mouth at all times unless eating or drinking. Additionally, the temperature of guests will be taken upon arrival at the wedding venue. Guests will also be asked if they have experienced any symptoms of COVID-19 at any time in the 14 days preceding the event and if they have traveled outside of the country immediately prior to the event. While we are not requiring guests to be fully vaccinated in order to attend the event, we would like the guests to be aware that the entire wedding party will be fully vaccinated by the time of the event. If, at the time of the wedding, any ordinances are put in place by the state and governor of Michigan to limit the spread of COVID-19, guests will be updated accordingly.
The wedding ceremony will follow the Hindu traditions of the bride's family. Each step in the wedding traditions of India is rich in ritual, symbolism, and detail, and we are incredibly excited to share this experience with our guests who may not be familiar with them.
We absolutely understand that everyone's health and safety is paramount and of top priority, and we fully respect every personal choice made to stay safe during these unprecedented times. We will be livestreaming the wedding, so if watching the wedding virtually is the best option for you please know we respect and support your decision wholeheartedly. (For those who are curious, the link to the livestream will be distributed via email. If possible, a link will also be added to this website.)

If you are unable to celebrate with us in person, we hope you will able to do so virtually — and don't forget to tag us on all the social medias when you do!
