Hello friends and family,

June 6th of this year was filled with so much love and happiness. Its the day we made a commitment to love and to care for each other in front on God, our parents and siblings for the rest of our lives. It wasn't the day we had planned but it was intimate and special in its own unique way. Our family contributed so much to make this day the best it could be and we are so grateful and thankful to those of you who reached out and helped us celebrate.

As we've sat here the past few weeks we looked at every possible way to make September 24th the safest and most fun event we could. After many hard conversations and a few tears we made the decision to cancel our wedding. It would have been great to have all of you there with us to celebrate and dance the night away. When we took a step back we realized that night we have been planning for is just that...one night. It does not define our relationship nor does it capture our love and appreciation for those of you who would've been there for us. So many of you would have jumped through all the hoops to be there with us. For that we will forever be grateful.

If you'd like to contribute to our new marriage in anyway you can help us by contributing to our dream vacation of two weeks in Italy. This was our original honeymoon destination and we had been looking forward to this since we got engaged.

Thank you for all of your love and support

John and Jessica
