Like many other couples during this past summer, Keith and Chris had to make a few changes to their wedding plans. First up, whittling down the guest list. At the time, Covid restrictions in British Columbia limited outdoor gatherings to 50 people or less.
The outdoor part was easy, the men having always planned on having their service in Keith’s parents’ backyard.
Scaling down the guest list from a cozy 105 to a painful 45? Not so easy.
Because the invitations had already gone out, Keith and Chris had to make a lot of tough phone calls. Tell people they cared about that they couldn’t come to their wedding.
When Covid concerns had their catering service bowing out, a determined Keith and Chris rolled up their sleeves and prepared all the food for the wedding party.
Amid all the Covid-dictated changes, some things remained the same. The couple didn’t have to go looking for another ringbearer…
Their Bernese Mountain Dog, Gus had no problem walking down the aisle with them.
What a lovely trio!

I have seen many weddings that have scaled way back. I’m probably in the minority, but I’d love to see smaller, intimate weddings stick around.

This pandemic has forced us to reexamine our priorities and, to quote Martha Steward, “That’s a good thing.” 🙂

The boys are beautiful. Their dog is beautiful. Their story is beautiful. Good things are still happening.

Congratulation to them for making it a perfect day despite all the restrictions. It’s such a ‘feel-good’ story.
