<p>Due to the pandemic, Lauren and Patrick had been through a lot before finally landing on their wedding day.<br>&#8216;We actually changed changed [our plans] three times. We first cut friends, then extended family,&#8217; Patrick told <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://fox40.com/news/california-connection/newlyweds-tie-the-knot-on-separate-floors-of-2-story-home-after-bride-tests-positive-for-coronavirus/">Fox 40</a>.
