'Rona Updates

After much discussion we have decided to make some changes to our big day. We still plan on getting married on Oct 3rd, 2020, however due to ongoing restrictions we have rescheduled our big reception . But fear not! We plan on hosting an epic One Year Anniversary party on Oct 2nd, 2021 which we hope all of you can attend. If you are local we would be honored by your presence at this most awesome of Sacraments, there is not a limit on the number of people we can host in the church.Feel free to reach out to us with any questions!xoxo Maddie &amp; Joey
