To think my 10th July wedding is not going to happen

[covidbride]

We're sending wedding invites out this week for our 10th July wedding and my husband is adamant the data looks good and we will be unlocked on 21st and can have our 150 person marquee wedding.

I want to share his optimism but I just can't see it happening? And part of me thinks mentally I'd rather pony myself up for a 30 man wedding so something was concrete in my mind?

We've currently got plans D,E and F mapped out as this wedding has been moved twice already! I thought he was accepting it might not be a big do but then the Andrew Marr show at the weekend suggested all was good. I honestly can't tell media hype from anything else at this stage.

I would definitely assume it WILL go ahead, 21st June is looking increasingly likely to bring no further restrictions.

@Myglassishalfempty

I don't understand why people think this wouldn't be able to go ahead? The numbers are still really low aren't they? And people in their 30s are now being given the vaccine so why would there be a huge turn around? Have I missed something?

The numbers are going up again. I live in a rural area near a town with high numbers of the Indian variant and our numbers infected are climbing at a higher rate than at the beginning of the second wave

@user1471505494 cases? Or deaths and hospitalisations? The former doesn't matter as much anymore

The deaths and hospitalisation came a few weeks after the numbers rose last time

Stay positive OP. A lot of what I’ve heard on the news in recent days is suggesting that the roadmap will be able to go ahead as planned in June.
It’s good to have a plan B just in case things change between now and then, but definitely no reason to assume the worst right now.
Really hoping you get the big wedding that you want!

Apart from the restrictions that were quietly added to parts of the country on Friday? No one knows, not me you and certainly not Boris!

Might depend where you live, some areas at the moment seem to have been asked to avoid travel and indoor mixing

150 highly unlikely it will be allowed (or that many will attend).

With the surge in new variants I think it would be wise to cut numbers to 30 and hope for the best.

I am also getting married in July. I'm hopeful we will be able to have a big celebration but planned for the worst. We intentionally booked a smaller venue (max 50 people allowed) for the day, and then another venue for the evening. So we can easily bin off the evening part of our wedding if we cant have the numbers for a big party. 30 people is enough to invite those most important to us, although we would like more if its allowed....

Same as us @Ddogisveryspoilt

30 is ok. Family and close friends tho prefer 75
