Planning a wedding is a major undertaking. Planning a "Covid Wedding" threw many more challenges our way that we never thought we would experience. While we joke about postponing twice and mailing three (3) 'Save the Date' cards, we don't joke about how severely this pandemic has affected us, our family and friends, our country, and the entire world.

When we got engaged, we planned for a wedding that would take place roughly a year and a half later. When the nation shut down in March of 2020, COVID cases were continuously rising, and we had no end in sight. We didn't want to play a guessing game, so we postponed our wedding (originally scheduled for September 6, 2020). As the months dragged on (and on they dragged), the uncertainty of when we were going to get married became real. After a lot of discussion, difficult conversations, and a big curveball, we decided we didn’t want to postpone our marriage. We got married on our original wedding date at Alex’s parent’s house, with our immediate family members, Maid of Honor, and Best Man. #CovidCantStopTheCohens

In “normal” times, after a couple gets married, they don’t have to keep planning their wedding! For Pandemic Couples, you plan, postpone again, and replan until it makes sense (or your hair falls out). We did start planning our reception for February 13, 2021. By winter of 2020, COVID cases were skyrocketing, and we learned very quickly that February would not be ideal. So, postpone again, we shall. It’s not often you can celebrate your one year wedding anniversary before having your wedding reception, but to say we are ready to celebrate is an understatement. We are endlessly thankful for the support of our amazing parents, bridal party, family, and friends during this process. We can’t wait to finally celebrate with you!
