What would your line in the sand be with regards to Cyprus wedding?

Ots my destination dream wedding to Cyprus in mid July.

Adopting a watch and wait approach for the moment, but when would you think about pulling the plug and going with a British contingency plan instead?

I would explore options - If you cancel what would people lose and would they be refunded. Would travel insurance cover people
if anything was to happen abroad?

I’d cancel, because cancelling later will be worse for any people who’ve booked flights and hotels.

A member of my extended family is getting married in Cyprus this year. One person in the couple is Cypriot. I had already declined as their invite was to an evening reception, not even the whole wedding! All that way and expense for a 4 hour party. Fortunately I already had another commitment, but even more glad I declined with all the uncertainty about safety.

I would call it off as soon as The Foreign Office starts advising caution travelling there,

Cancel and reimburse your guests for any expenses they have incurred.

People talk about cancelling as if you can just afford to lose all the money you’ve invested(!)

The op hasn't said she's invited lots of guests.

Go for it, we're getting married in Cyprus this year and we can't wait. Cyprus is fine and everything carrying on as normal now, I can't see that changing. We're not having any guests though, apart from our young children, so we aren't asking anyone to spend money joining us which seems to be most people's problem with abroad weddings. In my opinion, even if you are inviting guests they are adults and can make their choice, if they can't afford it then they don't go. As long as you accept that and don't get upset if people can't make it then I don't see an issue at all. A wedding abroad in the warm sun is a luxury and you'll have such amazing memories of enjoying your day.

Agree, so ridiculous. Someone even said reimburse guests, most people don't have the kind of money to possibly spend tens of thousands reimbursing all their guests. I'm sure they would if they could, but seriously most people could never afford to do that 🙄

I’m on holiday in Cyprus at the moment. It’s all fine.
