There is no perfect plan. That’s the first rule you learn when starting to organize a wedding. You know that something might go wrong. For Sarah and Bill, it was the pandemic that hit the year they wanted to get married. However, they were prepared to plan an anti-COVID-friendly, intimate wedding in Alexandria. Only 20 guests where invited and the ceremony was planned to take place outside of the Kimpton Lorien Hotel. Unfortunately, they had to move their wedding from May to July, but they quickly rescheduled their plan and it was perfect, just the way it was supposed to be.
