Month: May 2020

Thank you again to everyone who was able to be present and watch our wedding via Zoom. If you missed it, please go here to watch the recording.

ONE MORE DAY TO “I DO”

We hope you are able to join us virtually to celebrate our special day! We will be offering this viewing using Zoom. This tool offers us an easy way to share the ceremony online so you can watch from the comfort and safety of your own home.

THE PLAN

4:45 pm – Log in for sound check and welcome. Everyone is encouraged to join at this time.

5:15 pm – Start the planned event. 30 minutes will include ceremony, vows, first dance and cutting the cake.

5:45ish pm – Planned event ends, but we’ll stay online to chat/toast with virtual guests. Please have beverages in hand (and cookies if you’ve got ’em).

You can either download and install the Zoom app ahead of time here or you will be prompted to do so when you click on the meeting link the day of the event. Setting up an account is not required to attend or participate in a Zoom meeting/event.

CURRENT SITUATION – Less than 2 Weeks to “I Do”

Beginning on May 8, North Carolina stay at home restrictions will be lifted in three phases. We will be in phase 1 on our wedding day, so our in-person gathering will have to be 10 people or fewer to be in compliance.

Needless to say, we will not be holding the wedding we envisioned…but we are still getting married on May 15. We are just re-imagining our ceremony into a much smaller event that day and we’ll plan for a more public celebration in the future. Until then, please see below for answers to a few questions we are receiving.

Love, Craig & Jeremiah
