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.
