Would you go to a wedding next weekend?

Am vaccinated and RSVP'd yes. Not old or CEV but I am wary.

Would you go? They've likely paid for me already. I have booked a hotel etc.

Doubts over whether it will even happen at this rate.

Do you think it will happen? (if it doesn't, I guess I wait for now and do nothing) and if it does, would you go?

I would absolutely go.

weddingguesttbc · 01/12/2021 19:18

@Smartiepants79 ok thanks.

I keep expecting more restrictions to come in ASAP. Worn down by it all

Absolutely I would.

Whilst I’m conscious of and have huge sympathy for all those affected by Covid - be that through awful loss, Long Covid or financial difficulties - life does go on. Be sensible, wear a mask, wash your hands and enjoy the wedding.

If you go, just accept the fact that there's a good chance you might catch covid. I have been ultra cautious, but accepted an invitation of a family lunch, about a dozen of us, all double/triple jabbed, all tested negative that morning - by a week later, half of us tested positive.

VikingOnTheFridge · 01/12/2021 19:22

Yep

Smileyaxolotl1 · 01/12/2021 19:23

Please go.
We can’t stop normal life forever.
Those constantly quaking in their boots over it - do you spend every waking moment shitting yourself that you’ll get cancer today or have a heart attack? Both are far more likely than dying of covid.

AuntieMarys · 01/12/2021 19:24

greenfingers I'm not anxious either.

And for balance…

I’ve been to big family gatherings, friends parties, the pub, shops, a concert and the flicks. Of the people involved in these, 2 tested positive.

I am absolutely not denying this posters experience and I’m sorry you tested positive. Merely posting my own anec-data.

And are all of you ok?

DroopyClematis · 01/12/2021 19:25

No

Thefartingsofaofdenmarkstreet · 01/12/2021 19:29

Of course you should go. What is the point of putting your life on hold for any longer? If you were to catch it, the overwhelming likelihood is that it will be like a cold for you or you might not even know you had it. Would you not go to a wedding for fear of catching a cold?

Mumblechum0 · 01/12/2021 19:30

Yes, wouldn’t think twice about it.

QOD · 01/12/2021 19:31

I have one on the 18th - ordered a beautiful sparkly mask and going to enjoy it

KatherineJaneway · 01/12/2021 19:32

I'd go but no later than that

SagittariusDwarf · 01/12/2021 19:36

Yes I would go. I'm not anxious about covid either.

HelplesslyHoping · 01/12/2021 19:36

Not a chance. I'd send a card and gift but wouldn't attend

Lasair · 01/12/2021 19:38

Yes I’d go. I doubt it will be cancelled by the government anyway.

Doris86 · 01/12/2021 19:39

Why wouldn’t you go? Stop running scared of covid and get on with your life.

Wonnle · 01/12/2021 19:40

I wouldn't go to a wedding full stop .

LettertoHermoine · 01/12/2021 19:42

Live your life.

CherryPieface · 01/12/2021 19:43

There’s no money to compensate the hospitality industry or provide furlough again so I can’t see anything like this being cancelled. I hope you can enjoy it xx

TheYearOfSmallThings · 01/12/2021 19:43

Yes, it wouldn't cross my mind not to go.

Fluffymule · 01/12/2021 19:43

Yes, without hesitation.

Mammyloveswine · 01/12/2021 19:44

Absolutely

PlumManor · 01/12/2021 19:46

I would go.
