In light of all of this talk about the virus, I hope that some have taken a long look at their views about elopement and weddings. That you can't call a wedding after an elopement a wedding and the other arguments that I have seen about this really need to be reconsidered. Each person who is debating a change to their dream wedding to a more simple family ceremony/courthouse/elopement should be able to understand why the wedding they always dreamed of matters too.
And maybe try to be a little more understanding about those who elope and have their wedding later too - and why they don't want to just call it a vow renewal. Maybe? Everyone who has eloped has either made this choice or felt compelled to do one thing when they wished for another. I say have your weddings and elopements. I've got your back. My favor is that I ask that others do too - and not give anyone grief about this.
Love to all.. Ours is June 27th and we just contacted our vendors. China is starting to open some stores and such again. Their first case was Nov 14th. So 4 months to the day (almost) they are starting to see some normalcy. There is hope. All will be well. Life goes on...
