In case you're confused......some of you think Ron and I are already married! I got tired of correcting people when someone referred to him as my husband because it happened a lot. So I just let it stand.
But we're not. We've been engaged for a couple of years, and had been planning on a large wedding in mid October, not formal at all because we're not formal people, just a ceremony and big celebration for somewhere between 120 - 150 guests. We both have large families and lots of friends. But Covid-19 changed all that. A lot of our friends are senior, and many would be traveling from out of town, and it made us very uncomfortable to ask them to travel and gather under these current conditions. We wouldn’t, if the roles were reversed.
So instead we're doing an elopement type wedding. Just the two of us on 10/10/2020 in the early morning. Adorable little outside venue about 25 minutes from where we live. She specializes in tiny weddings. I'll still wear my wedding dress (not a traditional dress at ALL....a funky corset style outfit with a fascinator hat, and he'll wear the vest and fedora and cowboy boots he was planning on.) We'll have a photographer because we want to capture ALL the memories to share with everyone. We'll have a cupcake to share with a cute little wedding cake topper, mimosas to toast ourselves with, and even a wedding dance!
Also, instead of the 10 day resort honeymoon we were planning on, we’re going to take a month and drive round the country visiting with all those most favorite friends and relatives who will miss the wedding. We couldn’t be happier with this decision!! It's especially meaningful to us to do that because a few of those folks are older, not in the best of health etc., and we'd already talked about the fact that seeing them at the wedding may possibly be the last time we do, y'know?
Anyway, we're tickled with this decision.
Here's where we'll have the ceremony.
And there's an inside area if it happens to be raining
