Would you/should you delay TTC to attend family wedding abroad?

My only sibling was due to get married on the other side of the world (where they live) in summer but obviously it got cancelled. Me and DP were hoping to attend the wedding then come back and shortly begin TTC, as we would also be turning 34 and didn’t want to leave it much longer. The wedding is now planned for next August when me and DP will have both just turned 35. The wedding is in a high risk Zika virus area too so we will have to pay for blood tests when we get back to check we are clear before we TTC. I would be just about to turn 36 when I gave birth if I was lucky enough to fall pregnant straight away, following negative Zika test.
Postponing TTC until at least next September/October makes me feel a bit anxious if I am honest, but I am torn between TTC and wanting to see my only sibling get married - the wedding would also be a trip of a lifetime as we would be incorporating it into a 3 week holiday/travelling as well.

I have a DC (from a previous relationship) so I know everything was working biologically back then but I am that much older now.

YABU - go to the wedding and TTC upon return

YANBU - don’t go and prioritise TTC

I know you have dc but you don't know how long it'll take to get pregnant or if you would get pregnant again (hope this isn't the case and you conceive quickly) I'd TTC now.

I wouldn't postpone. Especially not in the current climate. What if the wedding is pushed back another six months or a year?

As we've seen this year anything can happen in a year!

Nope, crack on. They might break up / move the wedding or something else which would ruin your plans. I would never put my life on hold for someone else

TTC, there is no telling how long it will take.
