My weddings going to be cancelled by a rat virus isn’t it!

[EyUpNowThenLass]

We tried to get married in May 2020 and after trying for 18 months gave up. Lost loads of money in deposits. We are now finally in the position to be able to afford to get married again and we’re just about to book it for October.

It feels like history is repeating itself with recent news, and the world wants me to be a spinster. Is it going to happen again? I just don’t want to get my hopes up yet again for the same thing to happen!

We got married in 2021 with 12 people, if you’re still waiting now, then it isn’t a pandemic stopping you.

I think you are going to be fine, go ahead and book. Take out additional cancellation insurance. I hope you have an amazing day🥰xx

Some people really love drama and making everything about them.

This Op @EyUpNowThenLass
will have been a bridezilla of EPIC proportions

No. Why would it

Imagine if this OP is ever pregnant??!!! God the drama.

Seems a tad hysterical. Also ‘spinster’? I think you’d have to be single 🤷‍♀️

You are being UTTERLY ridiculous!

If you had really wanted to get married between 2020 and 2026, you would have done…for around £150 at the Register Office.

But what you actually wanted was an expensive wedding and couldn’t afford it.

And now you’re catastrophising! Why? Just make an appointment with the Registrar and get married!!

No lol. Your wedding won’t be cancelled by the hantavirus.

Yes OP. People are literally dying all over the world of a variety of diseases and wars but the world is spending its precious time ensuring you end up a spinster.

I got married in an October after becoming engaged in late may. Wedding arrangements/expectations have got ridiculous ,but it's still possible to have a short run up...however as it is possible to not go OTT I don't understand why the OP still isn't married after 6 years .

Do you know how ridiculous you sound? A spinster? Who even uses that term these days? If being married was so important to you you’d just go to a registry office & do it. It sounds like all you care about is a big expensive party so good luck being married with those priorities.

I hope this is a joke otherwise calm down 😂

Anyone planning a wedding and spending a decent amount of money should get wedding insurance.

All she cares about is having the big, fancy show. The actual commitment of marriage seems to not matter to her at all.

No it isn’t!

I’d been with my partner 10 years by this point and we had a daughter, I was already pretty invested in the relationship and there was no way I was missing out on the big white wedding. Each to their own, but I hate it when people make brides feel shit for wanting to be lavish for one day 🙄

Don't be ridiculous, OP!

As someone whose wedding got cancelled the night before due to covid, I did have a smile at this post.

I don”t think you have anything to worry about. Have a great day.

Both this, even though I never wanted that myself, and I have zero idea why the OP is taking such a huge amount of stick on this thread!

All I can think is that she struck a nerve, because there really are similarities with the start of Covid and her gut reaction isn't at all unreasonable.

We are in England,not sure where you are. We've got everything booked for November this year.

Can not see this type of thing going the way covid did.

The transfer is low and the amount of people that it can it therefore is low. Covid was highly transferable and therefore more people caught it and it spead because people will be people. The amounts of people dying from it then became higher. This one is more easily contained.

Don't add overthing this with all the other aspects of Wedding planning.

Congrats and enjoy!

Jeez don’t be so dramatic. Just enjoy your wedding!

You’d hope so in this case.

I'm sorry you're feeling stressed about this, but no, the world is not out to get you - it's out to get all of us at this point 😅At least we know what the disease is, and hopefully we learned from last time so this doesn't spread.

I don't know how it works where you are, but in America a lot of us get legally married at a city hall separate from the ceremony and reception. It takes so much pressure off the wedding day because it just becomes a party to celebrate the bride and groom. Maybe that's something you can do if you don't want to wait any longer!

Just get married in a registry office with your nearest and dearest… then spend the money saved on an amazing party and honeymoon.
Marriage isn’t about the wedding day
