Hi Ladies!
So our wedding is March 27th, 2021. As of now, NC is moving at a snail's pace in terms of reopening, with a 25 guest limit for mass gatherings. HOWEVER, per the order, it states:
"Section 4: Exemptions from This Executive Order. Worship, religious, and spiritual gatherings, funeral ceremonies, wedding ceremonies, and other activities constituting the exercise of First Amendment rights are exempt from all the requirements of this Executive Order, notwithstanding any other provision of this Executive Order. The undersigned strongly urges that entities and individuals engaging in these exempted activities follow the Recommendations to Promote Social Distancing and Reduce Transmission, wear and require Face Coverings, avoid exceeding Emergency Maximum Occupancy in the places where they meet, and avoid holding Mass Gatherings as defined in Section 7 of this Executive Order."
The safety of my guests is of course the most important to me, and my venue is huge with plenty of room for social distancing! Does this mean that I can have my original guest count at my ceremony, but not my reception? I planned on having bible readings during both, so would both be considered religious? Thoughts? Please be kind!
