Getting married in their backyard with guests attending virtually through Zoom wasn’t what Charles and Rachel had envisioned for their wedding. In fact, they did plan to get married surrounded by all of their friends and family on the Oregon Coast. But 2020 and COVID-19 had other plans. But instead of letting that get in the way of joining their lives together in marriage, they altered their plans a bit and kept moving forward.

While it was a bit surreal to be only other person physically in attendance at a wedding, it was also beautiful to see. Part of what marriage is about is finding a compromise because what two people can build together is better than the alternative. <3
