Our Wedding

In the begining of the COVID-19 pandemic, all seemed wrong in the world. We were largely restricted to places and faces we already knew.Meeting someone 'outside your bubble' at a 'local restaurant' *gasp* was a recipe for public scrutiny.Luckily, Ethan and Emily were risk takers of their own accord, both deciding that finding love was worth the risk of getting sick. Despite many hurdles -- a global pandemic, living about an hour away from each other, coming from very different social circles -- they found each other one January day on a dating app.Their first date lasted hours longer than either of them had planned, and a love blossomed in a small town between their two cities in rural California.That date turned into a second date, and then a third date, all in the same week. The love grew fast; before they knew it, they survived two years of medium-distance dating and packed all their stuff to move in together in Colorado. *wow so brave*After a few years of successful cohabitation, they were ready to take the leap and get the government involved.They tied the knot in an intimate (read: no one was invited or knew they were doing it) courthouse elopement on November 25th, 2025.Now they want to celebrate with friends and family! (That's where you come in.)Please join us in adding love to this arrangement and celebrating with us in Algona.
