Aibu to go?

[Madethisjustforthispost]

A close family member is getting married on the weekend, about 100 guests I think.
I am 7 months pregnant also, but double jabbed (don't qualify for booster yet as only recently had 2nd jab)
I wasn't at all worried about going until hearing about all the people dropping out because of covid. Now I'm scared but thinking is that irrational?
I was just planning on wearing a mask, having sanitiser with me, social distancing.
Am I being unreasonable even considering going?

Perfectly reasonable to go IMO but also reasonable not to. Entirely personal choice.

I would feel the same.
Do you know if they are asking everyone to test before attending?

YANBU to consider going! Do whatever you're comfortable with. Take sensible measures (like you mentioned) and do what you're comfortable with. Enjoy, whatever you do!

Well the 'advice' is to only go to things that you consider important and a wedding of a close family member would fall under that bracket. However, a lot of people are dropping out of this sort of thing because they want to try to make sure they can see family on Christmas day. Also they're finally classing pregnant women as part of a higher risk group.

You just have to ignore what everyone else is or isn't doing and make a decision that you feel comfortable with.

Thank you for the replies. I think guests have been advised to take a test beforehand
I think I will still go and just hope for the best 😬

Entirely up to you. For me it would be totally based on how much I actually wanted to go and how sad I would be to miss it. My main question is whether this might mean missing anything else which is coming up for you in the near future? But honestly no right or wrong answer here.

Yanbu to go. However it sounds like omircon is so contagious that I'm not sure masks and sanitizer will make much difference so as long as you're aware of that and happy with the risk then it's fine. I think a lot of people are cancelling as they dont want to be isolating over xmas, or they are planning to see old / vulnerable relatives, not because they're worried about the actual risk of covid to themselves

Given omicron and the fact that we don't know what we need to know yet I'd say hell no don't go. But I'm risk adverse. Also who else are you planning on seeing over Xmas?

O agree with the others. For me, it's a hard no, no questions asked. Don't think there's a right ordering here. Maybe just attend the ceremony?

I'll be spending Christmas with family who's wedding it is which makes me think I'd be in contact with them anyway. And would be so sad to miss it.
I keep going from yes I'm going to it's so silly to go!

I would go. It’s a personal choice. I followed all the rules and caught Covid anyway; I have no idea where from and no one else in my household caught it!

For me it would be based entirely on what I'm planning on doing in the next couple of weeks. I'm not massively nervous about the risk to me of me catching covid, but I am very very reluctant to isolate again over Christmas. I live alone and have had 3 periods of complete isolation for 10 days, but I was working from home and had regular contact with people. If I was having to isolate without the distraction of work, and unable to go to my family, the I'd really struggle.

Depends on your Christmas Day plans and if you're prepared to isolate on the 25th. It would be no from me because I'm spending the day with twoCEV family members.

There is an option to go to just the ceremony and sit down meal.
However, I'm supposed to going to stay with a member of the wedding party so I could still get it if they've come into contact?

I mean going to stay with a member of the wedding party until after Christmas.
I'm travelling a good few hours from the south to the north for the wedding so just popping in wouldn't really work
