The Lutes; looped in their caterer, Danny Mac's Pizza, who cut the original order down quite a bit. "I just think it's super important that if you live here in Louisville or the surrounding area, support your local businesses. They're really, really working hard and we wanted to immortalize that on our wedding day," said Andrew.
While people are missing from their wedding photos, the two that matter here is front and center. "Even though it might not go as planned or it might not seem as perfect as you wanted, it's going to be perfect in its own special way," said Tori.
They plan to have a bigger reception in the fall and says whether you decide to postpone or go for it, the wedding will still be perfect. "If you can survive making your plans and getting married during this time, you can make it through anything," said Andrew.
