How I worded my wedding announcements after my coronavirus elopement
My husband and I were planning a big wedding for fall 2020, but obviously, a global pandemic had other plans in store for us. We decided to elope, and we sent announcements because we didn’t want people to feel that they were excluded on purpose. Here’s how we worded them…
Vintage-Inspired DIY Train Wedding
When their original venue canceled due to COVID-19 restrictions, Lerin and Brian were left scrambling to look for a reception for their train wedding.
