Covid wedding

It's a wedding one, sorry!

Booked for March 2021 and not feeling confident.

Would you be offended if you were invited to a wedding and due to restrictions you got the chop (not bridal party but aunt / cousin / friend)

And would you support a couple having a big party later down the line? We've already paid too much to lose and also too much to make the venue worth only having 30 there.

So plan is - small wedding in March - big party end of 2021/ early 2022.

Thoughts please Smile

Of course not.
I feel very much for anyone who has had their dreams and plans ruined because of COVID19.
I would completely understand that if numbers had to be restricted, they would be restricted to the B&G's immediate family and that means others wouldn't be able to come.
Would I be a bit sad? Yes - I like a good wedding, but most of my feeling would be complete empathy for the B&G for not getting the day of their dreams.
I don't think I'd even expect them to plan a big party - I'd suggest they waited to see, and then maybe threw a 'First Anniversary' Party of something if the time is right then.

I contacted my godson's parents to say to axe me from the list without a second thought if restrictions on numbers were still in place at their third attempt at their wedding. They have had so many disappointments over their wedding and they don't need any additional stress worrying over offending invited guests (we had all accepted prior to lockdown, wedding was rearranged March to June, then June to August, then to next March.
As it

I’d 100% support it. A friend did exactly that mid July. I was cut from the list. Still went to watch her go in and out of the church, took loads of photos. Still send a present. Still absolutely delighted for them. They had a fantastic day and hope to have a big reception further down the line.
