Detroit Lions' Christian Jones' Napa wedding delayed by pandemic: 'Kind of serious out there'

The wedding will go on, but the ceremony will look a little different than they imagined.

Detroit Lions linebacker Christian Jones said Thursday that he and his fiancée, Liz Howell, had to postpone their wedding, scheduled for July 11 in Napa, Calif., due to concerns about the coronavirus pandemic.

"It’s kind of serious out there on the west coast so had to shut it down, shut the wedding down and postpone it for next year," Jones said in a video conference. "Me and my fiancée, we actually plan on still getting married. We’ve been in talks of doing kind of like a courthouse thing and hopefully we can get a couple family members and kind of go through that whole process with us.
