Dear friends and family,WOW! What a crazy year it's been. We knew planning a wedding would be stressful, but I don't think any of us bargained to this level of stress! We are so grateful for the love and support all of you have shown us during this crazy journey.That being said,&nbsp;we've made the difficult decision to&nbsp;postpone our big wedding celebration to Summer 2021.&nbsp;We are hoping by this time a vaccine for COVID will be readily available, and that everyone can celebrate with us safely! (Plus you get an extra year to practice your best dance floor moves!) We will send out a new Save the Date once all the details are finalized.&nbsp;We still plan to get married this upcoming November in a small, intimate ceremony. We wish we could have everyone there in person, but we know that you will all be there in spirit.Please remember to cancel your flights and hotel plans for November 20 - we will send updates on hotel blocks as we get closer to our new date.We can't thank you all enough for your unwavering support during this uncertain time. Please keep an eye out for more updates on our&nbsp;<a href="https://www.theknot.com/sammyandzach" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.theknot.com/sammyandzach&source=gmail&ust=1601406575852000&usg=AFQjCNFBC4-0UdyzYIN7NTyAc4I38Fx4TQ">website</a>, and don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.&nbsp;
