Kayla is merely hours from her wedding day and is struggling to figure out logistics as her home county is rolling back to Phase 2.
She told KIRO Radio’s Dori Monson on Wednesday that she almost immediately called the governor’s office when she heard Inslee issued a news release early this week announcing Pierce County would be one of three counties to move from Phase 3 to Phase 2.
On Thursday, when the governor finally held a news conference to address the state’s COVID-19 response, KIRO Radio’s Nicole Jennings asked the governor about people in Kayla’s situation.
“The wedding issue, it’s hard — these are frustrations,” Gov. Inslee said. “I hope the couple will have a great wedding. I hope they have a future where they can all celebrate as much as they can. I wish them well, hopefully they have half as much luck in marriage as I have had.”
Kayla, whose husband is active duty military, is worried Saturday will be one of her last chances to see family before she and her fiancé ship out. And while she’s considered breaking the rules to have the wedding, she doesn’t want to put her vendors in that situation. Her caterer, DJ, and photographer could each potentially be fined $1,000 and lose their business license.
