Here we are mid-way through October and I'm finally getting around to sharing photos from our wedding! We truly had the best day ever and are still surprised that, given the obstacles, we were able to full everything off for our original date, August 29.
With less than a month until our big day, we changed the reception venue, reworked all of our contracts, switched our rentals to accommodate a new aesthetic, and of course, tried to stay healthy and sane throughout the process. We had originally invited over 200 guests for our Nuptial Mass ceremony and hotel ballroom reception at the Renaissance Raleigh. We ended up with about 65 guests at the church and a few more guests than that for our dinner reception at Mia Francesca, a local restaurant.
I'll try later to do a post about the precautions we took to keep our event safe, but in short, we were significantly less than 50% capacity at both venues. For dinner, guests took their temperatures and participated in a COVID questionnaire before beginning the evening. All food was served directly to tables, 6 feet apart, masks encouraged when not seated, and each guest chose a wristband indicating the level of social interaction they were comfortable with. While we did have some big changes to our original plan, we are ultimately happy that we were able to celebrate this important day in our lives safely.
Without further ado!
