Dear Family and Friends,
As we look forward to our wedding day, we’ve had to embrace the new reality of this current season. Again, we thank you for all of your love and support during these uncertain times. We can’t wait to party and celebrate together soon!
As mentioned, we will be having an intimate wedding ceremony at Our Lady Star of the Sea on Martha’s Vineyard with our parents and siblings in attendance.
We will live-stream the ceremony if you are interested in watching. The wedding will take place on 9/19/20 at 2 pm EST.

Dear Family and Friends,
Unfortunately, we have made the difficult decision to cancel our 9/19/20 wedding celebration on Martha's Vineyard. The most recent guidelines from the Massachusetts Governor are more restrictive than we anticipated when we sent our previous update on June 9th. We are devastated! Henry, Liz, Dorrine, Jerry, Brad, and I were all beyond excited to enjoy the Island with those we love the most. Of course, we must put the health and safety of our friends and family first.
To honor our commitment to one another, we will likely have a small ceremony on our originally planned date. We plan to host a big celebration (location TBD) on a yet to be determined date in 2021 or 2022 when it is safe to do so. Thank you all for your understanding, support, and patience during these unpredictable times.
We look forward to celebrating with you all as the situation becomes more predictable!
Love,
Grace & Brad

Dear Family and Friends,
We hope this message finds you and your family well.
We plan to move forward with our wedding and reception on September 19th, 2020. We are keeping a close eye on the state’s reopening plan as determined by Massachusetts and local authorities. Our venue and vendors will be implementing suggested safety practices to ensure the well-being of all our guests.
We are excited that the date is drawing nearer; however, we are aware this is an unprecedented time, and although we would love to have all of you celebrate with us in person, we completely understand and support your decision if you are unable to attend our wedding weekend.
We will provide further details about watching the ceremony on video from home, safety precautions and more on this page.
We thank you all for the love and support you have shown us so far!
Grace Shelley and Bradley Guinane
