Okay so I'm just after perspectives here, my fh father has just called to ask if fh would like to travel to them for a stag night out a week before our wedding, which normally would be no issue but the thought that my fh could catch covid travelling on a train/coach/bus all of which he would need to travel on to get to his father, plus the chance of him catching it while out celebrating is just making me anxious. We are not a family who actively avoids situations due to covid but with it being so close to the wedding day we had agreed to reduce our risk of catching it by not doing anything unnecessary, I suggested that they have a delayed stag do after the wedding because quite frankly if we catch anything then I'm not really fussed, we had it in January and other than feeling crap we were all fine, our insurance wouldn't cover us if we cancelled because of this reason either, wwyd? Are we being silly?

99% of your guests won't bother to test.

I'll just leave you with that thought

Tbh I'd not have a problem with it, my DH had his a week before the wedding last year when it was rife, all okay!

You could just as easily catch it doing your weekly shop / at work / from a friend etc.

Not a lot is wiggle room if they all catch Covid. Ideally they should have got the stag out the way a month beforehand. Hmm

Interested in this thread?

I've been in and out of hospital clinic for a year had two operations, if I didn't catch it there, and believe me it's rife then he should be okay

Mumdiva99 · 23/07/2022 18:46

Why doesn't he go earlier? Can he suggest that? 3 weeks before perhaps?

Thought I knew them all now but nope. FH?

Presumably it's Future Husband...?

OP you're being daft. Let him go.

SpiderVersed · 23/07/2022 18:52

What on earth is FH?

Anyway, I wouldn’t stress about it. You had it 6 months ago and presumably have had all injections so the chance of him being poorly with it is very slim.

I don't think you are being silly, and I understand your concern. Although most people will attend and potentially not test, there will be others who will test and be anxious of catching it at events such as weddings and this is why you are anxious about the closeness of the stag do.

In reality, you could catch Covid anywhere now restrictions are non existent so you are just at risk in a supermarket.

Only you & your FH can decide, so I hope you come to a solution that you both are happy with and have a fabulous wedding.

I’m sorry you’ve had poor health recently and I’m glad you’ve dodged covid! But your logic is ridiculous. Obviously people are catching it, even if you didn’t. Or there wouldn’t be an ongoing pandemic…

Cocowatermelon · 23/07/2022 19:13

OP isn’t worried about catching covid. She’s worried about catching covid one week before her wedding and having to cancel it! It doesn’t matter if they both catch covid at the wedding because they won’t be ill and have to isolate until after it’s all over!
OP, delayed stag do makes sense. Or a month before the wedding.

Went to university graduation ceremony. Lunch in one huge building then graduation in another both air conditioned. I was a bit twitchy beforehand because we've never had covid being Welsh country mice. Going to Leeds was a bit of a worry. But we didn't catch it there either

BendingSpoons · 23/07/2022 19:25

I agree with you. We have a holiday booked on a few weeks. DH was going to have a day of work involving lots of public transport. I have asked him to switch the date, which he can do easily. I know chances are he will be absolutely fine, and I'm aware going on a plane is just as big a risk, but I really want this holiday, so it makes sense to reduce unnecessary activities just before. But it depends what your FH feels about it.

Namechanger355 · 23/07/2022 19:45

Personally I would delay it

I have two separate friends who caught covid a week before their wedding and one actually fell a bit rubbish (it’s been months since the booster). Both cancelled their wedding

we are in London and it’s absolutely rife right now - I caught it a couple of weeks ago and many of my colleagues have it as we speak

You want to enjoy your wedding
