Why did you decide to keep your original wedding date, rather than postpone to a future date?
Brian and I decided not to wait because we did not want a virus to determine our love and future together. It was our date, our time, our memories and we did not want to wait.
What was special about your small/at home ceremony?
In December, my mom and stepdad built a house that was on a 5 acre lot. At that point in time, we did not know the significance of this land. We ended up putting together a backyard wedding in 2 months, and it was the most beautiful wedding I could have ever experienced. The intimacy of it being at my parents’ home was beyond what I could have imagined. It was so special and something I will treasure forever.
Due to my grandpa living out-of-state, Brian and I ended up driving to Florida after the wedding and meeting him at the beach. I brought my wedding dress to make sure that he and I got a picture together. It was so special and I know it meant the world to him.
What is one tip you would give a future bride who is faced with a possible postponement?
Do what makes your heart happy. Don’t listen to what the world, media, or anyone else thinks. You and your fiancé agree on what makes you happy and what is going to matter in 10 years.

What was special about your small/at home ceremony?
It was special because it encompassed everything that was important to us, not only as a couple, but as individuals. Honestly, I think we were able to put our own personal touches into it, more than we would have been able to do on a larger scale.
Are you still hosting a large celebration as planned, but at a later date?
We certainly still plan to host a large celebration at a later date. We are hoping to be able to plan it for late summer/early fall. However, the health and safety of our friends and loved ones are a top priority. Nevertheless, whenever the celebration happens, it will be just as wonderful and exciting as it would have been on the actual day.
What is one tip you would give a future bride who is faced with a possible postponement?
My advice would be to sit down with your soon to be husband or wife and ultimately decide what is best for the two of you. If postponing is in your best interest, do it. If scaling down and having a small and intimate gathering is in your best interest, do it. Your wedding day is your day, just make sure you make it a day you’ll never forget.
