Wedding in August

[Jouley]

Hi
In early August I am invited to a wedding. IF we are allowed to attend then how would you feel about attending a wedding with about 100 people this summer? Not to drip feed but I know that at least one of the families of the main parties have not followed lockdown rules and have continued to socialise as a family throughout so I'm dubious as to their respect for any continued distancing requirements. I just am unsure how I feel, I can see it being a long time until I am comfortable in large groups, particularly when some of that group are drinking. How about uou?

Surely the plan is to have almost everyone vaccinated by then, so it’s going to become irrelevant who followed rules better than who.

People drink at weddings.

You can social distance even if others don’t.

If you are going to get anxiety over it I wouldn’t go, some people are going to feel uncomfortable I’m large groups for some time.

Far too early to say. You’re a guest, I’d be far more worried if I was the bride right now!

The thing is though you’ll be able to in the main socially distance from people to some extent. And is there a good chance a lot of it will be outside?
Remember the government has said that all adults will get a jab by the end of July.
It could well be perfectly ok. I’d be giving a provisional thumbs up for now.

If everyone is vaccinated it should be ok. I'm due to get married in August and can't wait to have all my friends and family around me. You've said one family has not followed lockdown rules- I don't think this is really applicable because if weddings of that size are allowed, it would mean that everything is safe enough for people to mingle.

Weddings are apparently not even on the roadmap. I think the bride will be lucky to have 30, let alone 100!

We've been invited to a wedding in July, doubts over whether it will happen obviously but I will be there with bells on if allowed.

We’ve also been invited to a wedding in August, I’m desperately hoping it’ll go ahead as normal. Most people will have been vaccinated by then anyway so I won’t be worried about infection risk, I do think it might feel a bit intense to be in a room with 100 people after spending so much time with just DH, but we’ll be building up to these things won’t we.

I’d go unless things get worse again. It’s likely that almost everyone there will have had at least one jab.
