Looking back, my wedding day looks nothing like I had expected, but it was somehow even better than my previous vision of my dream day.
When I rescheduled my wedding from May 2 to Aug. 22 because of the pandemic, I thought my future husband and I were in the in clear. Like many of us, we assumed that COVID-19 numbers would go down, that travel would be safer with necessary precautions and that our wedding-related stress would finally be out of our minds. However, as Aug. 22 neared, it became clearer with each passing day that the COVID-19 situation wasn’t turning around.
