Time to Celebrate!

In July of 2019, we went on our first date and soon knew our paths were meant to cross. After sharing time with each other's families and friends, we were sure we would spend forever together. We did not, however, expect that forever would begin in March of 2020 during a state-ordered quarantine in a two-bedroom apartment. There is no way to be surer of your love than being unexpectedly quarantined together during a worldwide pandemic. On May 1, 2020, we got engaged - there was no fancy dinner (no restaurants in the DC area were open). There was no ring (early pandemic supply chain issues). There was no photographer. But there was a frank discussion about what we wanted in life and a promise we made to each other to begin our lives together, no matter what was going on in the world. With no end to the pandemic in sight, we decided against planning a wedding that we might have to reschedule. But at 35 and 41 years old, we were eager to get married and start building the family we've both always wanted. So on May 30, 2020 during the initial lock-down in Virginia, we married in a tiny ceremony with 9 people present. We streamed our ceremony on Facebook Live and were blown away by how many folks tuned in to watch and wish us well. The outpouring of support and love was incredible. It was so special but we didn't get to celebrate our marriage with all of our loved ones. We bought a house, started several renovation and DIY projects, and welcomed Callan into the world. Now that we are vaccinated, the Forston Family of three hopes you can safely join us for this celebration of our marriage.
