July 2021 - When do I call it quits?!

[IliveonCoffee]

I don't know what to do anymore. 8th July 2021. We've planned to get married at Gretna. For those who don't know, they have a number of venues there to chose, all as Gretna. I emailed them with a bit of panic email, just asking where we stand with depending on if x, y or z happens - like if we're only allowed 15 or whatever.

In response, I'm told oh, we might not have your venue open in July. If you wish, we can rebook for one of these 2 others. Except, availability might be limited depending on if you wanted to still go ahead with the 30 or so in a function room or just the 2 of you.

I'm so so stuck, do I suck up postponing again, comprise on the venue again (changing will be the 4th!), or comprise on the wedding 'event' again?

I just wanted to get married, wear a beautiful dress and take home wonderful pictures that I could look back at fondly, pointing out great grandmas and stuff to my hypothetical children.

Honestly what do I do?

Choose a venue, limit numbers down to what they will take and just get married.

You'll still be able to get married and wear a beautiful dress, it will just be different perhaps to the big wedding day you may have planned.

From experience, the DC probably won't care about your wedding photos either

July wedding.

Church will still happen for us regardless, and we will do cake and spend time with however many that is. We've booked a venue for up to 120 for a reception but they've agreed to pencil us in for 2022 if needed.

Whats the most important part for you - getting married or the reception party?

I think if you chose to get married any time this year it will be a small, socially distanced affair. I've felt this since the first lockdown. It depends on what you want. If you want grandma's and cousins there you are going to have to postpone. If you want to get married sooner rather than later stick to this year and plan for just immediate family/friends.
