So many drop outs.. best man with covid.. and I get married in two days

I get married in two days. I should be exited but I’m really flat. We found out yesterday one of my bridesmaids has covid which means the best man has to self isolate. Including them we’ve had 5 drop outs to the day, 10 drop outs to the evening. I cancelled last year due to covid, and rescheduled to this year when June 21st was supposed to happen. It hasn’t. Now all this. There’s 50 to the day and an extra 10 to the evening. It all feels such a waste. I want to marry my partner , but I can’t be bothered with the after party which has cost me £8k including a band. So we have no best man and we are a bridesmaid down. Wish we delayed the whole thing but 3 days before was just too late.

I'm so sorry, ours is in 3 weeks and we're so worried about this happening as well, or one of us getting it/being forced to isolate and having to cancel it all and lose everything Sad
I don't have any words of wisdom, just sympathy. I hope you can still have a wonderful day Flowers

I'm really sorry. I got married last year and we lost a bridesmaid and all my family aside from parents to travel restrictions.
We had a rotating guest list and everyone someone dropped out we invited someone else. Is that an option?

For all the stress ahead of time, we had the most wonderful day and having an intimate reception was really enjoyable. Several of the guests told us it was the nicest wedding they'd ever been to. I hope it all comes together for you!
