Kevin and Shay 's Wedding in Columbus, Ohio

The story of our wedding

We got engaged in December 2017 and planned a wedding for July 2020. We booked our venue and our vendors in the summer of 2018. I bought my wedding dress in December 2018. We booked our photographer in January 2020. And then the world went crazy in March 2020, 4 months before our wedding. Yep, that's right, we were a Corona Virus pandemic wedding.

Luckily, we live in Ohio and were able to proceed with getting married in July. You can judge but, it was a very stressful decision to continue and we didn't make it by ourselves. We asked every single one of our guests and each of our vendors whether they wanted to continue as planned or postpone. We received an overwhelming response to continue. And I wouldn't change a single thing, masks and social distancing included. I should also mention that not a single guest got sick.

In short, our wedding was perfect. About 55 guests came to celebrate our day with dancing and cornhole. Our ceremony got sprinkled on (we were outside) but the torrential downpour held off until everyone was inside for cocktail hour, thank goodness. Our photographer was a ninja who captured all the best moments with incredible style. Again, even though we got married during a pandemic, I wouldn't change a single thing about our day.
