Would you still come to my wedding?

It's this Friday.

We're fully paid etc and desperate to go ahead. Have asked guests to lateral flow beforehand. 96 guests confirmed.

Worried people will think we're mad for pushing on given all the Covid news.

YABU - people secretly won't want to come
YANBU - go ahead and enjoy

If I'd said I'd be there I'd be there. I might not accept a new invitation for this weekend (because of the risk of isolation disrupting Christmas plans) but I won't let down those I've already agreed to.

I was in Leicester Square at the weekend. No sign at all that people are staying at home! The place was rammed and all the bars heaving.

Ellmau · 06/12/2021 19:30

I would, although I might not stay to the bitter end.

Beautiful3 · 06/12/2021 19:32

I would. Last month my friend, loosely invited me to her birthday meal in a few days time. But I've heard nothing else? No set time given yet. I have no idea if it's been cancelled or going ahead. If it's still on, I would still go, providing I can make the set time.

EwwSprouts · 06/12/2021 19:33

Yes I would come.

Tittyfilarious81 · 06/12/2021 19:34

Yes I'd still go , have a wonderful day op

BusySittingDown · 06/12/2021 19:34

I would, I have a Wedding to attend in a couple of weeks, in fact!

Unless it gets cancelled or I get covid myself (really hope not), I will definitely be there.

EmbarrassingHadrosaurus · 06/12/2021 19:34

Presumably people RSVP'd and would let you know if they intended to cancel?

They must know their vaccination status, mask tolerance, and personal risk-benefit assessment in the context of what you're saying about LFT?

Have a splendid and memorable day.

me4real · 06/12/2021 19:35

Yes @weddingpanicomicron and I'd be very grateful for the opportunity to have fun as much as we can before further lockdowns possibly limit what we can do. I'm sure I'm not alone in that and that some of your guests feel the same.

Invite me if you like. Grin

playmelikeasymphony · 06/12/2021 19:36

I’m vulnerable. Have been unsure what I should be doing for months but for bigger events I’ve been asking myself “would I feel upset or depressed on the day if I knew it was happening and I wasn’t there?” Trying to balance the risk with my mental health.

So if you were my sister or best friend I’d be there. My cousin I rarely see or hear from, not at the moment (I love a wedding usually)

Scrabblecrabapple · 06/12/2021 19:36

Thank you for the invite. Can I bring a date? Is there a free bar?

ThinWomansBrain · 06/12/2021 19:36

presumably those that have accepted already want to come, and will do so unless they have a positive test/some dire lurgy that's not covid but don;t want to spend the day alarming other guests by coughing all day.

RedRobyn2021 · 06/12/2021 19:36

Yes of course

What covid news?

Recycledblonde · 06/12/2021 19:37

I hate weddings but at the moment I’d come to the opening of a fucking envelope.

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 06/12/2021 19:37

I’d come

GreenClock · 06/12/2021 19:37

I’d attend. Have a fab day OP.

MatildaTheCat · 06/12/2021 19:37

@speakout

No- but I dislike weddings, so Covid would be the perfect excuse not to come.
The surely you will have already declined? It’s really poor to grab a last minute excuse if you never even wanted to go.
Haudyourwheesht · 06/12/2021 19:38

I would. Lft no problem here either.

ThinWomansBrain · 06/12/2021 19:38

don't worry about it, and have a brilliant day Wine

Benjispruce5 · 06/12/2021 19:38

Yes I would. Yanbu.

Frazzled2207 · 06/12/2021 19:38

I have covid but otherwise I’d go.

I think it would be really rude to cancel at this short notice unless you had covid or were very clinically vulnerable. I’d be anxious if I’m honest but I’d still go.
I’d ask everyone to LFT beforehand.

Goldbar · 06/12/2021 19:38

Yes, I would definitely come! I would use Covid as an excuse to leave my DC at home though (it's circulating in nurseries and preschoolers have very poor personal hygiene).

Squirrelblanket · 06/12/2021 19:38

Yes I would.

ISeeTheLight · 06/12/2021 19:39

I'd come but wouldn't dance. We went to my cousins wedding - abroad; EU - late October and did exactly that. The brides sister couldn't attend because she caught covid - and wasn't vaccinated Hmm.

middleofthelittle · 06/12/2021 19:41

I would

NorthSouthcatlady · 06/12/2021 19:42

We are in! We aren’t fussy eaters and are off work on Friday
