Dear family and friends —

After weeks of thinking and worrying, we’ve decided to cancel our anniversary celebration altogether.

COVID news continues to change on a near daily basis and, after seeing an increasing number of reports of outbreaks from similarly structured events, we’re no longer confident we can provide a safe celebration just by arranging for all our activities to be outdoors.

We know this disrupts travel plans for out-of-town folks and we’re genuinely, deeply sorry. We’re so sad we won’t get to see you, and we’re so grateful you were willing to celebrate with us, but we’d much rather postpone than worry we’re putting people we love at risk for a little party that can wait until a safer time.

With our love and sincerest apologies,
