Please Read! - Wedding during the Global Pandemic

Hello All,













When we originally set out to get married and sent out the save the dates, we didn't know a global pandemic was going to occur. If you received an invite, please RSVP immediately on this website, or call/text us you will/won't be attending. Please be patient with us, as we chose to delay our invites due to the stay-at-home restrictions. We weren't sure of the future for our wedding.&nbsp;









The venue and caterer has taken measures to ensure proper social distancing. There will be 6 people seated at each table, and the caterer will invite guests up to the buffet when appropriate and each item will be served to the guests. We will also provide disposable masks, and hand sanitizer stations. We ask all guests to please respect each other and maintain social distance.&nbsp;We hope you will be able to join us, however, we understand completely if you choose not to attend.&nbsp;If you plan on bringing children and you don't see their names in the RSVP, please list their names in the notes section of the RSVP.&nbsp;&nbsp;We apologize for the inconvenience.&nbsp;















If you received a save the date, but&nbsp;didn't receive an invite we would like to apologize from the bottom of our hearts. We were hoping to have you celebrate with us on our special day but we&nbsp;limited our guest list due to the Coronavirus.&nbsp;&nbsp;















Sincerely,















Morgan&nbsp;&&nbsp;Ross

We both swiped right! Ross&nbsp; messaged first with a terrible pickup line: "Are you my appendix?&nbsp;Because I've got a funny feeling in my stomach that I makes me want to take you out."&nbsp; &nbsp; Morgan&nbsp;has&nbsp;a soft spot for corny pick up lines so they&nbsp;starting talking. They&nbsp;ended up exchanging phone numbers and for about a week after that Ross messaged every morning, "Good Morning" and it opened the conversation for the day. Morgan&nbsp;liked that he took the time to say good morning and was thinking about her first thing in the morning.&nbsp; After texting&nbsp;for a week Ross FINALLY&nbsp;asked Morgan&nbsp;out on a date. Where&nbsp;of all places?&nbsp;The&nbsp;Ohio Renaissance&nbsp;Festival.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Swipe Right

Morgan couldn't believe she said yes to going to a festival that was 1.5 hour drive&nbsp;away from home. So she set up a plan;&nbsp;Plan A: Meet for breakfast. If any red flags come up at breakfast then she could still cancel the day. Plan B: Head to Ren Fest with Ross, but don't want to drive back to Columbus with him after the date, cue in Lorie Abdul. Lorie lives in Cincinnati and Morgan asked Lorie to meet at Ren Fest so she could leave with Lorie if anything were to go sour on the date.&nbsp;&nbsp; Ross and Morgan met at Bob Evans for breakfast at 8:30am.&nbsp;Breakfast went good!&nbsp;Then they headed south to the festival and the first half of the day was going good. Other than it was 90+ degrees that day in late September.&nbsp; So both Morgan and Ross were powering through the heat together and trying to be on their best behaviors. They both walked around and talked, shopped at the various vendors. Each time Morgan picked up an item to look at it Ross offered to purchase it for her. Which she quickly declined and sat the item back down. Apparently that was a test for Morgan to see if she would take him up on his offers. ;)&nbsp;But they both went through tests that day...&nbsp; Lorie arrived at the festival in the afternoon, with her boyfriend, Matt. Ross didn't get mad or jealous that two other people were joining them on their date and fit in really well with the group and even picked up on our jokes. A+ for Ross!&nbsp; Then&nbsp;we went to watch jousting. We sat in the bleachers, no shade in the&nbsp;heat of the day.&nbsp;&nbsp;Lorie hadn't had anything to eat or drink. She ended up&nbsp;having&nbsp;a heat stroke after jousting was over. Morgan caught Lorie in her arms as she was passing out and helped her to the nearest seat with&nbsp;shade. Ross ran and purchased some water and asked for ice.&nbsp; Lorie came to after drinking the&nbsp;water and then we visited the medical tent to make sure everything was okay.&nbsp; At the end of the day, a lady with a basket of flowers was walking around selling the flowers&nbsp;and Ross purchased a sunflower for Morgan.&nbsp; &lt;3&nbsp; With all the tests they've&nbsp;been through, the heat and dirt, Morgan went back to Columbus with Ross. Ross dropped her off at her car where they met for breakfast. One week later they started dating officially on Oct. 1st, 2017.&nbsp;

The First Date

Ross proposed on Sullivan's Island Beach, South Carolina during a Friend family vacation in May of 2019.&nbsp; Ross was scared to propose, being he doesn't like water, and&nbsp;didn't want to lose the ring in the water. You can see in the photos where Ross is holding the box with the ring in it with two hands to ensure the ring wasn't going anywhere!&nbsp;
