Today’s real wedding story features newlyweds Bianca & Candace. After postponing their wedding due to COVID, the couple decided to scratch their original plans and instead tie the knot in an intimate oceanside wedding in Florida. Want to see how this couple went from planning a 100-person wedding to a small-scale ceremony? Keep reading to see more details from their special day!
“The original plan was to have a 100-person wedding at a venue in downtown Columbus followed by a reception. When we were planning for our initial wedding day, you couldn’t have bouquets, couldn’t dance, plus everyone had to stay seated, and wear masks. We didn’t feel like we would be getting our money’s worth with the restrictions. It quickly became clear that COVID wasn’t going anywhere and that having a big wedding and reception wasn’t safe for our family & friends. We ended up going to the beach in May and getting married around just family. I wouldn’t change it for the world!” – Bianca
“Candace and I met through a mutual friend in 2015. I’m pretty sure I knew she was the one the minute I met her. She is SUCH a good, beautiful person and I wasn’t used to that. She listened, she made me laugh, and most importantly, was able to give my stubborn Italian self a run for my money.” – Bianca
“The two of us jumped in holding hands as our family counted us down. It was so fun and crazy. My dress weighed so much in the water but thankfully Candace helped me get out!” – Bianca
