Three cheers for Mark + Kelly! I say that not only because they were recently married; however, because they were able to successfully plan and execute a wedding during Covid times without re-scheduling or hesitation. 

​

For those of you planning to get married before the end of 2021, it goes without saying that Covid has taken all the fun away - and for good reason - we have to take care of our health, but at the same time, life must go on. How does one get married during a health pandemic?

​

During the past few months, I've seen a variety of creative options ranging from elopements to family-only weddings to more intimate gatherings of family and just a few friends. I share my experiences here so that others might be able to navigate these murky waters. 

​

With the release of the vaccine, Americans are finally hopeful that we are on the path to recovery. In the interim, we still have couples patiently waiting to get married - and some have waited up to 2 years (1 year of planning + 1 year delay). 

​

For this particular wedding, Kelly + Mark whittled down their original guest list from 200+ to just family, and a few friends in their wedding party. Next, they made sure that all elderly attendees had been fully vaccinated beforehand. They also asked all guests to take a test before the big day. 

​

Thank you to all the vendors who not only entertained guests, but also risk their own health simply by going to work.
