Family and friends, We cannot wait to celebrate our marriage with you next March. As we count down, we have an important health announcement and want to give guests time to prepare. In light of the new Omicron variant and continued COVID concerns, our family doctors have recommended that we implement a vaccine requirement for the health safety of our elderly grandparents, parents and our immunocompromised family and guests. Guests must be fully vaccinated and boosted to attend. We wish these were different times, but given our indoor dining and ballroom venue, we cannot afford to take any chances. Thank you for understanding, The Brand and Ensley families

There will be many kiddos, and even a few babies, traveling to San Diego for this wedding, and we love that. If you are looking for babysitting services the night of the reception, our wedding planner has recommended using the service Sitterwise (https://www.sitterwise.com/). We have not tried this service personally (though Natalie thought about hiring them to babysit Kris a few times), but they come highly recommended. If you are attending the TexMex welcome on Thursday evening, Kids are absolutely invited.
