As medical professionals, Brian Elliott and Laura Even knew COVID-19 was serious before most Americans, as early as February 2020.
But like many others, when the coronavirus hit the East Coast and shutdowns began in the region in mid-March, they thought it would be just two weeks.
The couple — originally from the Philly suburbs, but currently completing their medical residencies in Cincinnati — had their wedding date scheduled for early May 2020. They thought, maybe, they’d have to cut their guest list down, possibly push the date back a few weeks or reschedule their honeymoon.
