rittany Hoffmann wasn’t worried in December 2019 when she learned her maid of honor was pregnant and needed a new dress for the wedding, set for March 2020. The COVID-19 virus had temporarily shuttered production overseas, but Hoffmann stayed calm and eventually secured the needed dress. “I remember thinking that was our biggest problem,” she says. Looking back, the delay overseas was a harbinger of trouble to come. Before 2020 was over, the pandemic forced Hoffmann and her fiancé, Anthony Smith, to reschedule their wedding three times: from March to August, then to March 2021, and finally to October 2021. The ordeal left some emotional bruises, but the couple remains committed to each other and to getting married.
