This wedding WILL happen!!

So, it appears that the world seems to be against my happiness?! So Charlie (my groom, obviously) and I have chosen the date for our wedding but even the chapel which we'd reserved is questionable regarding whether the chapel location will be open for the service... so we're looking into backup plans...

Maybe we'll choose a picturesque bluff above the ocean to officially "tie the knot", it's all being investigated. BUT, it's become apparent to our families that the coast has meaning for us (considering that he proposed on the coast while his girlfriend (me) was taking pictures of the beautiful ocean) so we'll begin looking into a slightly different initial location for our ceremony...

The other unfortunate side effect of this pandemic is that the restaurant that was catering our wedding meal is still determined to provide us with food, but we'd been considering more of a buffet style meal and now all of the meals will need to be INDIVIDUALLY packaged. We can and will handle this, but our wedding appears to be taking some additional minor changes... For one, the bride's mother's family is now questionable regarding their appearance at the ceremony (which is understandable, EXCEPT that the bride's cousin's son was scheduled to be our adorable ring bearer -SAD!)

But We're determined to have faith that our wedding (which will be CONSIDERABLY smaller - basically just immediate family and wedding party) will still hold unforgettable memories and be enjoyed by everyone in attendance!! The positive (WHAT?! THERE'S A POSITIVE?!) aspect of our altered wedding is that NOW we are strongly considering having a wedding celebration one year from our official wedding, in which all of our initial 52 guests will hopefully be capable of attending and celebrating this brand new couple and where the wedding reception might officially be held and where hopefully all of the cancelled/altered/removed aspects of our initial wedding might hopefully be returned and EVERYONE that is important to the bride and groom will be gathered together to celebrate this momentous occasion?!

So, your prayers and thoughts are ALWAYS welcome as we focus on having a memorable/unforgettable wedding and plan to share quality time with our treasured guests ASAP...
