A quick update from Ashlyn & Alex-
Hey Y’all! We wanted to give everyone a quick update on everything really quick.
First of all, we want to thank all our friends and family that have reached out and asked how to help, offered words of encouragement, or just checked in on us. We have a great group of people helping us get through these last couple days. While there is a LOT going on in our hometown, we would not be moving forward if we truly felt that anyone’s safety was in jeopardy. While we can’t predict what will happen in the next few days, we are adjusting our plans to help mitigate any issues that may arise.
When authorities decided to create a ‘secure perimeter’ in the CBD we made the call to move anyone that has a reservation in our hotel block at the Hilton Garden Inn over to the AC Hotel in NuLu (727 East Market Street). If you were booked at the Hilton, you should have received an email cancelling your reservation there, and an email from Jill Klus at the AC asking you to confirm your new reservation. There is a link in the email, but if that doesn’t work, simply call the hotel and they should be able to get everything set up for you. Since they are completely different ownership, we couldn’t just transfer reservations, so please reach out to the AC to confirm your reservation.
We also want to thank Dustin at the HGI for being so willing to work with us during this tough time. All the HGI reservations should have been cancelled automatically, but if you have any questions you can reach out to him.
We feel that having our guests in NuLu gets everyone much closer to Copper & Kings and makes getting to and from much easier. While there is a possibility of protestors being out and about, we feel like they will be focused on downtown.
The other adjustment we have made is that we are moving our timeline up an hour….
4:30pm will be the new start time for the ceremony (previous start time was 5:30).
This decision was made based on the fact that the mayor could extend the 9pm curfew to Saturday. Currently the curfew is in place until Friday night, but with all the unknowns we felt it was easiest to plan ahead and change the start time. If the curfew doesn’t get extended to Saturday…. we’ll have more time to dance our butts off!
We know that these changes can be a challenge, but we hope that you all understand. We want everyone to be able to celebrate our love for each other and ALL of you. Over the last few months of pulling this together Ashlyn’s and my constant mantra has been let’s control what we can.
Let’s all try to make the best of a tough situation, but we can’t wait to have something to actually CELEBRATE in 2020!
Cheers!
