Wedding beginning of December IS still going ahead AIBU?

[MollyMinniesMum]

DP and I are FINALLY getting married at the beginning of December having been forced to cancel twice in 2020 and once early 2021 due to Covid. It’s been really frustrating but hey ho it’s what we had to do.

When we set this date, we really felt this would be it and the wedding, as far as I’m concerned, will be going ahead.

The problem is, with rising cases and talk of ‘Plan B’ some friends and family have been in touch asking whether we will have to cancel again. We have some guests coming from abroad and some clinically vulnerable guests, it’s a big ish wedding, approx 80 guests, indoors obvs.

I understand that people are worried but my attitude is that it IS going ahead, come what may! I’ve waited long enough. Plan B doesn’t even mention weddings and that’s what I’m telling all these Debbie Downers, AIBU?

It isn't just the attending of the wedding, it's going through the airports during the winter peak. Many people died after traveling last December. Unless you were forced to choose December, when our numbers were always going to be high, then you have no right to be annoyed, at him, if he doesn't attend.
Any travel plans should be happening between May and September, in regards to Covid.

Family wedding in December. The B and G are double jabbed and have had Covid. It's a case of whoever turns up will be welcomed and those who don't, we'll it doesn't matter. No seating plan so that gaps won't show.

I think it’s fair enough of them to ask! They might be worried about it.
YANBU to want to get married but I think you would be a bit U to expect everybody to turn up and not ask questions.
Your wedding is a very important day to you and your partner but to others it might just be a nice party and a risk of catching covid or flu!

I think it’s a bit mean to call them Debbie Downers!

Wow. Entitled much? Selfish much? YABVU. There is a pandemic going on, the UK has one of the highest cases of covid every day right now with no restrictions and you say you'll be annoyed if your father (someone who would be in a high risk group due to his age presumably) will not travel abroad and go to your wedding in the UK, a hotbed for covid cases? Yes, it is ok to be disappointed that he can't make it but you need to stop being so selfish. If you want him there that bad, then cancel the wedding again and get married when cases are low. Or just get married now and accept that he won't be there because it is too much of a risk to his health. It's not his fault they there has been a global pandemic for the last 1.5 years.
