Wedding Update

To our wedding guests,

With a heavy heart, we have decided to postpone our wedding reception. It was not an easy decision to make. However, for the safety and health of all our guests, we believe this is the best way forward. We are working with our venue and coordinator to set a wedding reception date in the future. We are sincerely regretful for any inconvenience this has caused, but we know that we will be celebrating with you when the coast is clear!

Feel free to reach out to us with any questions or concerns. We love you all very much and pray you stay safe and healthy.

Love,

Heather & Adam

Corona Virus (COVID-19) Update

The time is almost here. We have about three weeks until the wedding! As of today, our wedding will proceed as scheduled (please see below for further information). We will keep you informed of any possible changes going forward. Please let us know as soon as possible if you plan to attend or not. If you have not RSVP’d as of today, we ask that you take a moment and let us know by Wednesday, 03/18/2020. This can be accomplished by visiting our website: www.mrandmrsthiele.com.

Update: The wedding has been moved! Please join us at our new location Wesley United Methodist Church (500 Cleveland Ave, Bradley, IL 60915) on 04/04/2020 at 11 AM.

Everyone’s safe being is our number one concern. Given the coronavirus outbreak, restrictions, and cancellations, we understand if you cannot make it. Although we will miss you, we request you do not attend if you are sick or believe you may have been exposed to the virus. We are planning on recording the ceremony and highlights of the reception. These will be available to view after the wedding.

If you are attending the wedding, try to avoid handshakes and unnecessary physical contact; consider a wave instead – or even a toe tap! Face masks and gloves are perfectly acceptable to wear.
