Make it About You

This is our advice to couples even when there isn’t a pandemic — this is your day and it should be about you! You will be the one who looks back on this day for years to come, not your guests. Do what you want to do, not what you’re expected to do. If this means eloping, go for it! If this means having a courthouse wedding now and a big celebration later, we support it! If it means waiting until a time when everyone can be together, do that!

Celebrate the little moments

If you have had to postpone due to COVID-19, make your original date special by going out to dinner together or saying intimate vows just for the two of you. This will help to dispel any bad feelings and resentment you have towards wedding planning. You definitely do not want to leave a bad taste in your mouth towards your wedding day!
