In December of 2019, I met Pam who was planning to walk down the isle to Shawn in September 2020. While sitting in a brand new Starbucks near the downtown Columbus area, Pam shared that my first EVER wedding couple recommended me to her (shout out to Tanika and Marcellus). Once we approached the end of our meeting, we both knew that this was going to be a stress-free wedding.
Then enters 2020! Not only has this year showed up and showed out, normalcy as we knew it was about to change. Right before the pandemic hit, Pam and Shawn received some devastating news that their wedding venue had closed its doors forever. Not only did the venue close its doors, the venue took everything that Pam and Shawn put into their wedding.
Then…the shutdown happened. Uncertainty, the great unknown, and everything in between crept in . But then restrictions and mandates were put in place and a glance of hope was starting to shine.
Pam and Shawn finally found a new venue and their September 20th date was still going to happen.
On this beautiful Fall day, Pam and Shawn got ready to stand in front of their friends and family and say those wonderful words that unite them as Husband and Wife. Although we were all wearing masks, this new normal did not affect the joy and love that could be felt in the building. Smiles could been seen and people who were unable to attend were there via cellphone. Everything was perfect!
Congrats Pam and Shawn! Thank you for allowing me to be apart of you special day!
