Morning. My sister in law is getting married in a few weeks, all still planned to go ahead. They've not even mentioned to anyone that it might not be

Have any of you got weddings coming up? Are you planning on going ahead with it? I feel so sorry for them that it may not or if it does it may not totally be the day they had planned.
Theirs is a medium size wedding I suppose, 40 in the day, 100 at night.

Im a very anxious person and have steered clear of large groups of people etc, because I am in the clinically vulnerable group. I am a little anxious about attending, aibu?

One of my siblings was due to get married in October and the venue said they couldn't accommodate more than 30 people for a reception and this included staff, so it wasn't even 30 guests, this included photographer, registrar etc. They've postponed till the Spring as we have a large family and they didn't feel it was worthwhile given the amount they've spent on it. They managed to reduce the guest list for the ceremony but wouldn't have wanted to reduce it further. Luckily their venue allowed them to change the date with no charge.

As a bride who has now had to rearrange twice due to covid, please do not assume that your SIL is blissfully unaware of the situation around her. We had to fight our venue to move our wedding from our rearranged date in November this year to a new date next year - eventually they agreed but only because we threatened to seek legal advice. Weddings are expensive and emotional, you're battling your head and your heart constantly. It's emotionally draining. Everyone who acts like it's a simple fix have no idea. She and her hubby to be will come to their own conclusion in time, just be supportive. And if you can't then keep quiet.
