Firstly I know that there are bigger and more important things in the world today but I would just love some impartial advice please!
Got engaged in 2017, due to be married in 2019. Got pregnant with an absolute miracle baby after years of infertility and so postponed wedding to June 2020 (abroad). Obvo Covid got in the way and we post poned again to July 2021. I have been very accepting about this and feel it'll happen when its right...even though we had planned to try for a honeymoon baby and if all had gone well I would be married and pregnant with #2 by now.
I got excited when the vaccine was announced and felt confident the wedding would go ahead but now it looks like it could be midsummer before the non-at-risk will be vaccinated (which I utterly agree with us being last in line!!).
So now I don't know whether to re-postpone or look to plan a wedding at home (as air travel will obvo be the riskiest). Planning at home means losing almost 10k in deposits and our dream wedding (as we'll essentially be paying twice and we certainly wont have the weather or purchasing power)...but almost means a higher chance of actually getting married and also having multiple close friends with us who wouldnt feel safe travelling or will have very young babies thanks to the lockdown baby boom.
Im totally conflicted and properly feeling sad about it all for the first time. I was redeployed to the frontline during the inital wave and my wedding day passed in a blur of work so maybe its just catching up with me now.
Im getting on a bit age-wise so I wouldnt be happy postponing much further into the future as want to start trying for baby no. 2 (nor do I fancy being a pregnant bride).
Someone please talk sense to me;, my friends, fiance and family only want to placate me and I need some objective advice!
Thank you all xx
