Instead of grousing and whining or, worse, just saying F(#4 It! we're going ahead with our wedding as if we're not in a pandemic, they took these beautiful steps to turn a sorrow into a joy for themselves and others. Those photos in their wedding album will always remind them and their loved ones of what generosity of spirit these two showed on their special day. |

The numbers infected from that wedding are climbing: 87 cases and 1 death now. It's a classic example of how this virus spreads and only those who already understand it will be paying attention to it. So many others will ignore the message being sent because they don't want to deal with reality. I hope there are no more deaths from this event. Here's the current news on it: Maine Wedding Cases |

The numbers are far worse than they expected!!
The number of coronavirus cases linked to an indoor wedding in Maine earlier this month has risen to 123, state health officials confirmed to CBS News.The Maine Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said early this month that a total of 24 people had contracted COVID-19 linked to the wedding. That number progressively increased to 53, then 87, and now 123 linked infections. The wedding has also been linked to one death last week from the virus so far. The Aug. 7 reception was attended by about 65 people, surpassing the state’s 50-person limit. Officials are also investigating if the venue, Millinocket’s Big Moose Inn Cabins and Campground, was in compliance with state health guidelines. ** thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/514284-number-of-coronavirus-cases-linked-to-maine-wedding-rises-to-123 |

Let's extrapolate that number for Sturgis and Bike Week (last week) in Laconia, NH where thousands attended and didn't follow the rules either. I suspect the fallout from al these events that people just can't miss is going to be epic soon. |

Now 143 cases! The officient who flew himself in to the wedding, flew back to his church and preached. Last Saturday he was told that there were the cases and his answer was to hold 3+ services Sunday with an unmasked choir... He doesn't believe in the "hoax"!

The Big Moose Inn had their lodging and drinking licenses revoked and then reinstated by the Maine CDC. No reason stated for the reinstatement. Maine, has one of the lowest case counts but has done a poor job of holding businesses accountable for violations, according to the Bangor News. For instance, spokesman for the Inn says they “misread” the rules on the number of guests. Yeah....right. 😏

Is it this unbelievable idiot preacher? bangordailynews.com/2020/09/02/news/york/sanford-preacher-linked-to-virus-outbreak-tells-followers-to-put-faith-in-god-not-government/"Todd Bell, pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church, said he believed “ God, not government,” would control the pandemic. He advised followers to wear masks if they wanted, but doing so was “like keeping a mosquito out of a chain-link fence."" This. Right here. This is why America is flushing down the toilet. It was fun while it lasted, but the idiots have taken over (at least enough of the electoral map) to ensure our future will be dumber and dimmer than our past. |

Third person has died. NOT one of the three who have died attended the wedding. They were community spread, thanks! It is now in a jail, a care facility...

We are all supposed to say, it’s nice the couple didn’t have their special day ruined by Covid right?
People are so selfish! I can’t believe this is going on. I feel guilt and concern daily letting my young children play with neighbor kids - all of which are and hear each other from the yards and then people are hosting large gatherings thinking of no one but them leaves, putting guests in the situation of feeling obligated to go or worrying about hurt feelings - shame on them!

"Todd Bell, pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church, said he believed “ God, not government,” would control the pandemic.This is the same as the woman someone here recently talked about who wasn't taking any safety measures because God has a plan for her. Doesn't he help those who help themselves? |

OMG there was a woman that posted on the Peloton FB group this weekend that would make your head explode. She finally deleted her post after everyone went nuts on her (rightfully so). She basically said that she hasn't felt any motivation to get back on the bike since she along with half her family got Covid after attending her daughter's wedding last month. After said wedding, her FIL who attended the wedding is in the hospital with Covid on a vent, and she has since held her son's wedding a couple weeks after that. So she posted to get people to help her get motivated to get back on her Peloton???!!!! The community response was an overwhelming FU!

Hope they enjoy their anniversary next year! Sept. 15, 2020, 2:17 PM EDT / Updated Sept. 15, 2020, 4:18 PM EDT By Minyvonne Burke The death toll from a coronavirus outbreak linked to an indoor wedding and reception in Maine has risen to seven, with the number of cases connected to the event up to 176.The latest death was reported at the Maplecrest Rehabilitation Center in Madison, where five prior deaths were also deemed connected to the Aug. 7 wedding and reception. One person died at a hospital in the Millinocket area, a spokesman for the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention said Tuesday. About 65 people attended the event, in violation of Gov. Janet Mills' executive order limiting indoor gatherings to 50 people, the Maine CDC has said. The wedding ceremony was held at Tri Town Baptist Church in East Millinocket, about 63 miles north of Bangor, and a reception was held at the Big Moose Inn Cabins and Campground in Millinocket. A person who answered the phone Tuesday at Big Moose Inn said they are not commenting and the church could not immediately be reached. None of the seven people who have died attended the wedding or the reception. But among those who did attend the event was an employee of the York County Jail, where 72 cases have been linked to the gathering, health officials have said. Maine health officials have also said the wedding and reception are tied to the virus' spread at a Madison rehabilitation center. And, the state is investigating whether an outbreak at Calvary Baptist Church, whose pastor officiated at the wedding, is linked to the event. The church is tied to at least 10 cases. ** www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/coronavirus-death-toll-maine-wedding-rises-5-over-175-infected-n1240138 |

It's making national news and it still won't have the impact that it should. We are a selfish society that cannot seem to grasp the concept of doing the right thing in the short term so that we can get out of this sooner and safer. |

I was invited to a virtual bridal shower and wedding last month. The bridal shower was the first shower I enjoyed in years and maybe the third I have attended. We all gathered our own snacks, wine or other drinks, paper and pen for games and a package with a little craft that had been mailed to us. It was fun, we all “bought” shower gifts on Amazon, Target, Walmart and Bed, Bath and Beyond, shared some recipes for the new bride. It lasted almost 4 hours! We used zoom. The games we played awarded points. Points were totaled at the end and small prizes from Walmart were sent to the winners online. I won two cute kitchen towels as a fourth place prize. I am looking forward to the antics this bride and groom do for their wedding in a month-they are doing a Halloween theme and guests are to “come in costume”. It will also be via zoom. Optional home delivery of food from a local restaurant for the reception. If it’s as good as the shower, it should be fun.
And best of all, no Covid or masks required!

And people think that the reported numbers of COVID due to Sturgis are exaggerated.
What a tragedy. And the bride and groom will have all their future anniversaries tainted by reminders and memories of all the people who became sick and/or died due to their decision to hold an in-person wedding during a pandemic.

I wish the wedding goers would be charged with involuntary manslaughter. They are killing people because of their recklessness.
