Quarantine Virtual Animal Crossing Wedding

Provide us with a brief description of this object and, if it is not obvious, how it connects with the Chippewa Valley. For example, if this object is an image describe for us what the image displays and why it is significant.

This image was created after my cousin and then-fiancé had to postpone their wedding multiple times and decided to have a non-official wedding with their bridesmaids on Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Looking at the photo, I am the one immediately to the left of the bride. My character has short hair because I had shaved my own head in a moment of pandemic frustration and no obligations tying me to a societal standard of females needing longer hair in professional settings to be generally respected/taken seriously as I was in isolation.
