My first Zoom ‘destination’ wedding was surprisingly fun

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.“Hi, Auntie Mary Anne.” My nephew in San Francisco was calling for the first time in his 28 years. My heart was pounding, as I imagined troubles. “I called to say we’re getting married next weekend. I didn’t want to send you an e-mail invitation before giving you some context.”

Our nephew’s was not the first wedding we had attended with an e-mail invitation, but, as a marker of our times, it is worth capturing:“You may have noticed the world’s been going through a weird phase lately. We hope you are able take a break from all of that to celebrate something exciting with us.

And they did get married, on a sunny afternoon in a verdant garden. Yes, the park was officially closed, and the attendance exceeded the allowed gathering size by one person. And just as the ceremony began, another aunt accidentally shared her computer screen on Zoom, holding up the proceedings. Not many newlyweds can claim that kind of wedding interruption!

After the ceremony was over, we had a chance to chat and catch up on life in each of the participant’s locations. We saw children in far-flung places who we had not yet met in person. We really felt connected. And an hour after it started, it was over. Given our Atlantic time zone, we went on our way to bed.The next day I had a follow-up chat with several family members. The post-wedding excitement was in the air, as if we had been there in person.
