How worried would you be- June wedding

[Pogmella]

I’m getting married in a council owned (so public) building in June. Or I hope I am! Have woken up to see all the Italy quarantine/closedown news and am now really worried it will all be off!

What do you think- should I prepare myself to rearrange or am I catastrophising... DP is adamant it will all be over in two months or so so won’t really discuss what our plan B is (is like to marry him even if we can’t have an actual wedding, you see)

It's impossible to tell. I would advise you to deal with things as and when you have to deal with them. No point getting stressed trying to second guess or see into the future when it's such an unprecedented time.

This crossed my mind this morning about my friends may wedding, hopefully itll all be over by then or atleast warm to help get rid of it. Not much you can do about it though. Either postpone now or wait and see

Alas, I was hoping to be told I was being ridiculous and to calm down- eep! I guess I’ll just have to wait and see. I’m aware it’s obviously not the worst consequence of all this but obviously would be very sad for us.

I'm in a similar situation but getting married abroad in June. All you can do is sit and wait and see what happens. It's out of our hands.

Have you got wedding insurance? I don't know if you can take it out now to cover the cost if things do go pear shaped but maybe worth checking

Yeah we do have insurance. Was hoping to try for a baby right away after a fancy honeymoon so I suppose we need to have a chat about that. I’d just like him to talk to me about it really.

If things go wrong so you can't have the big wedding you've planned would you consider the smallest wedding possible, the super honeymoon and a big party for all guests when it will be safe for everyone to attend

It's panic like this that is the actual problem. Just try to chill out fgs. Theres not much you can do if they close the venue, but mass hysteria isn't helping anyone.

We're just moving this thread over to the right topic now.

@Starisnotanumber his dc live in a different region so J think really we would have to marry without either of our DC present and have the party later as you suggest. The kids are all really excited though so that would be quite sad. Fundamentally my priority is getting married not having a wedding but it would of course be sad not to do it now it’s planned.

I’m not sure how this constitutes ‘panic’ to a pp? It’s a contingency plan.

I am worrying about my wedding too. I'm getting married in under two weeks and have two elderly guests coming from California. I feel like we are just ticking time bombs waiting to get it.

'I’m not sure how this constitutes ‘panic’ to a pp? It’s a contingency plan'

'Have woken up to see all the Italy quarantine/closedown news and am now really worried it will all be off!'

Right now, Italy is Italy. It has nothing to do with your wedding in June. That's the panic I'm referencing.

Contingency plan? Get wedding insurance that covers venue cancellation and re-arrangement fees.

Between now and June, old relatives could die of heart attacks, the venue could burn down, you could get hit by a car.

Protect yourself and your family best you can, protect your wedding and money the best you can. No point worrying about it.

OP doesn't sound like she's panicking at all. More a person who is aware of the potential risk and is sensibly thinking of Plan B

I doubt you will be able to get Covid cover now that the outbreak has begun

It's not specifically 'covid cover' but there are wedding insurance policies that offer it under an umbrella. Assuming the venue cancels all their events, not you.

We have insurance, it’s more the emotional impact and managing our children’s emotions and potential disappointment. We’ve talked about it now and we are on the same page. He has no desire to kick it all back a year, we would marry and maybe have a party later in the year (Christmas?)

My BIL is getting married this month He has asthma and was hospitalised twice last year after having some sort of chest infection.

In his shoes I'd postpone. But up to now, no sign. I don't know how big the venue is and how many guests there are, maybe it's quite small, but even so.
