October 3rd Update

Dearest friends and family, The countdown to the big day is on! Max and I are so thrilled to be seeing you all so soon. We wanted to give this final update on what to expect on the day of! Since our latest update, we have learned that you will in fact need to provide evidence of your vaccination status by way of the vaccine passport, unless you live outside of BC. Max and I are liable for ensuring that you have shown your vaccine passports. Our good friends Zac and Leigh have volunteered to help us scan our guests' passports upon arrival. They will be positioned outside of the ceremony. Please expect them and have your passports and identification available and ready for them as this will help speed up the process. If this is in any way an issue or challenge for you, please speak to Max or myself a few days before the wedding and we will be happy to support you. Zac and Leigh will also be providing you with drink tickets, which can be redeemed at the bar after the ceremony. We are so excited to see each and every one of you. We also really want to impress the importance of keeping everyone safe. We ask that if you are feeling unwell in any way, or have been in close contact with anyone experiencing symptoms of illness, to please stay home. We promise that in this case we will not be offended by your absence, and will thank you for the care you have taken to protect our loved ones. As mentioned previously, we will be asking guests to wear their masks while indoors, unless you are seated at your table. We will be doing everything we can to ensure that this event is both enjoyable and safe. In terms of dress code for the wedding, semi-formal or cocktail is appropriate, but we also want each of our guests to be comfortable. Wear something that makes you feel good, and keeps you at the right temperature. It is with confidence that we can say we will not be concerning ourselves with our guests' outfits, so please arrive feeling good and we will be happy. We will be both indoors and out throughout the wedding, and the weather can be unpredictable in Victoria. Comfort is most important to us as we hope you can all stay and enjoy the festivities for as long as possible. Many of you have asked about our gift registry. Your attendance is all that we ask, but for those of you who wish to gift us, we have two options. For those who would love to contribute directly towards our honeymoon, we would greatly appreciate that! For those of you who prefer a suggestion from our gift registry, we have linked one below. Next weekend will be one of the best of our lives, and we cannot wait for all of you to be a part of it. Your love and support means a lot to both of us and we are so excited to see you all. With love, Kelly and Max
