We got legally married on our anniversary June 4th. We are one of the many couples forced to cancel and postpone our April 4th wedding due to coronavirus & will now be on October 3rd and now postponed a 2nd time. Super sad to see the countdown have so many days added to it when we were down to just 2 weeks to go before canceling! God bless everyone.

Happily married 🎉
