They expressed that the most stressful aspect of their wedding planning was having to cancel twice due to Covid. The emotional rollercoaster of planning, cancelling, and replanning took its toll, but their commitment to each other never wavered.
As restrictions eased and life began to return to a semblance of normalcy, Alice and Michael decided to give wedding planning one more try. This time, fortune smiled upon them. With fewer limitations in place, they were able to create the celebration they had always dreamed of.
