Mark and Lisa found me on Facebook with only three days until their wedding date. I checked my calendar and saw that I was free and made it work. 2020 has been a crazy year for these two. They originally were going to be married in Amsterdam where Mark’s family is from, but had to cancel due to covid. Then this summer Mark and Lisa’s home in California was threatened due to wildfire and they went to Lisa’s parents home in Verona NJ. With everything and a baby on the way they say “WHY NOT” and decided to get married in the Verona backyard. They and all their friends and family went on wedding planning mode to create something magical and covid safe. Everything for the guests was outside and each family had their own tent to social distance under. Masks were require to fix your plate and social distancing was heavily done. Since Mark’s family could not make it the whole wedding was steamed via Zoom with multiple angles on people’s phones and laptops. Somehow even with pandemics, wildfires, and a little one on the way, everything came together perfectly. The weather was sunny and not too hot, and everyone had a smile underneath their masks. We can’t predict the things that happen in our lives, but we can work hard with what we have to make wonderful things happen.
