Eric and Julia in November. This sweet backyard wedding and night goes down as one of my favorite memories of 2020. Our evening ended (as she mentions below) with cheering, clapping, and crying while watching Kamala and Joe. My “job” was done around 7:00, but I was welcomed in to witness history and quite honestly didn’t want to leave this wonderful group of strangers. There was something so powerful about experiencing these emotions alongside them. I’ll never forget it.
“Originally, we planned to have a 200 person wedding on a vineyard in Austin. We had actually just received our Save the Dates one week before our jobs sent us home to work remotely. We made the decision to postpone the big party but not to delay the actual marriage itself. We kept our original November 2020 date but switched to a 16 person guest list in the backyard of a family friend, Julie Watkins. When Julie heard about our cancelled wedding, she not only offered to host but also assembled a dream team of women who came together to put on our wedding day. It was absolutely beautiful from start to finish and was made all the more special by the Election being officially called for Biden & Kamala! We got to spend our day excited and confident about the future in more ways than one. In a very bizarre year, we feel lucky to have been able to celebrate our marriage at all.”
