We feel we got away with one
Under normal circumstances – if there wasn’t a pandemic—we never would have gotten away with getting married like this. Both of our moms would have insisted on a big, fancy, formal wedding. We never wanted that. I hesitate to say anything good is coming from this tense time in history but it did provide us with this rare little window of time in which we were able to sneak away, get married on our terms, and nobody could get mad at us. Honestly, our families were happy to have an uplifting event to celebrate during these otherwise dark times. And I’m now off the hook forever picking out flower arrangements or sampling $12 puff pastries.
