About a week before Johana Patricia’s wedding, everyone across the country was asked to practice “social distancing” and not gather in groups larger than 50 people, and then no more than 10 people. A wedding seemed impossible, but her then-fiancé, now husband, Miguel Delgado was confident they could overcome the logistics. And they did.
Instead of having a ceremony with family and then a larger reception party, the couple got married on a public access cliffside near Redondo Beach in California with eight guests—as luck would have it, just before public parks and beaches were closed. Their siblings were able to attend, as well as their friend who officiated, a photographer, and videographer. Although their parents all live close by, Patricia and Delgado worried about their health. So Delgado’s sister streamed the ceremony so their parents and family, who would have attended the private ceremony, could still participate.
