Anyone else supposed to be getting married soon?

[tigerbear]

I’m getting married in July in London, then honeymoon in Italy (!!!)) in August 😬😬
Anyone else getting married in next few months and starting to get nervous/anxious as to whether you’ll still be able to go ahead?

Me! Getting married in June! If we follow the Czech Republic and ban events of over 100 people, then I'll have to uninvite some people! Hoping it will all have died down by then...

I'm flying to Vegas on the 2nd June..

I hope 🤦🏽‍♀️

I was talking to a friend who's getting married in May, she said several people have now declined the invitation, especially older relatives and some friends who are pregnant. She totally understands but is trying to keep things flexible for as long as possible, in case the pandemic dies down and they suddenly want to come!

She's looking on the bright side- less attendees=lower catering bill.

Declining an invite in May seems a bit previous. I can understand why people might decline one later in March/April.

I was invited to a wedding in early June today and have accepted. I truly hope things will have settled down by then.

Yes I'm supposed to be getting married in May.... I'm very anxious about it.

There is a thread on the Weddings section about this.

I agree @cologne4711 but that's what's happened, apparently.
She really isn't that bothered, though, not a bridezilla at all.

Have a family wedding the weekend after next, really not sure what to do

I get married the first week in May and go to Vegas 3 days later.

In full wedding planning mode until today where I just think it’s going to be cancelled or hardly any guests.

Hen do is at the end of this month & stag do is in April in Spain.

I could cry but I’m not. I’m eating a mountain of chocolate to make me feel better which means I won’t fit into my dress anyway & will be glad it’s cancelled (joking)

Sorry to hear that so many are in the same situation 🙁
Has anyone taken out wedding insurance?
I just feel bad for several of my guests who are flying in, if we need to cancel.
My bridesmaid is coming from Hong Kong, and an old friend has already booked flights for him, wife and child from Dubai 😬

I'm getting married a week today! Most people are still coming having paid for hotel rooms and I think next week, things should still be ok. I have been worried about it and it is far too late to cancel anything!

Oh wow @Metagoth good luck!!!!
I hope your day goes well.

Has anyone spoken to their venue staff yet to see if things can be postponed?
I’m half way between thinking it MIGHT still happen and not. Really not sure what to say to guests who are flying in.

I'm phoning my venue today about the possibility of postponing. As said it's Friday we are getting married and my partner thinks I am giving into hysteria however things seem to be changing hou and it somewhat seems irresponsible to be holding a gathering with over 100 people. I can't help feel as I well as I want my wedding to be a happy occasion not constant worry if people will turn up and on the day people on edge too.

I'd have to see if suppliers will change too. It's a horrible situation, I've been in tears most of the week about it. We stupidly took never took insurance either and I'm well aware I should have and now is not the time to lecture.

I feel guilty too for those that have travel plans. Just hard to know what to do for the best.

@Metagoth if it’s this week, I would go ahead if I were you, but it’s obviously your call.
Depends on how many ‘at risk’ guests there are / if your parents are very elderly etc.
It’s so hard to know what to do for the best.

I’ve just emailed my venue to see what would happen if everything is in lockdown by then (July). My parents and DP parents wouldn’t be able to come, as they’re all over 70, so if the new guidelines of up to 4 months isolation come into play, there’s no point in us going ahead with it. Would hate to get married without parents there.

@Metagoth I don’t have insurance either

Wedding is still going ahead. Thankfully I don't have any elderly parents and my own parents think I'm mad to cancel. So far everyone seems to be coming but just a dark cloud hanging over it all. I feel ill with the anxiety.

@metagoth I know you feel anxious, but I’d say you’re in a better position than most - there’s no lockdown yet, your guests can still come. Plus, there’s so much doom and gloom atm, most people will see you day as a welcome opportunity to celebrate, be with loved ones, and try to have some fun.
It might be the last ‘party’ type event for some time...

Our wedding is supposed to be 9 weeks from yesterday. I'm not feeling that confident, but continuing planning as normal. Wedding venue have been very reassuring and have extended the date for final numbers to less than a week before the day. Fingers crossed!
