At my brothers wedding in the summer of 2020, masks were asked to be worn during the event, which is very different than the pre-pandemic wedding appearance. Some people were not happy with having to wear a mask because they thought the photos wouldn’t like as nice. This picture is with my father, with my mask unfortunately upside down but still serving its purpose of keeping people safe.
