DENVER For many couples with a wedding this year, life has spun them in endless circles. But now, there is a glimmer of optimism. In January at the time, I was just like. as long as someone besides me and Eric is on this farm, great - but now, as weâre able to have more people, you start to want a little bit more of that normal wedding environment, said Samantha Hess, who is getting married in about three weeks.
But on Sunday, Gov. Jared Polis announced an amendment to Colorado’s mask mandate, effectively allowing people not to wear masks at indoor events if 80 percent or more of the people attending show proof of full vaccination.
“We’ve been in it for a while now so I think people are expecting the worst and I think this is a step in the right direction in a positive direction,” Venter said.
She isn’t quite sure how this new process will work with her clients. Venter said she has already told couples to consider asking their wedding guests if they are vaccinated. Most wedding websites allow a question about vaccination when someone RSVPs.
