Arranging a very small and intimate wedding with very close family only. Recently engaged and therefore happy to leave wedding till next year to give it time to sink in and so it doesn't feel rushed with the pace of our relationship, although over the moon to be engaged. However... our parents are becoming more elderly with various ailments and health scares - so while not particularly 'old' in age number, we are aware of how having everyone we want there next year is not guaranteed. Also, have an elderly grandfather, only remaining grandparent of ours, with dementia whose mental capacity is declining month on month. Seems sadly unlikely that he would be healthy enough mentally to attend a small wedding and reception next year, but then again if we did it this year while he's still got some ability to enjoy what's going on, the other relatives would have to be managing and sort of in a 'care' capacity too at the wedding rather than purely enjoying the moment. So... do we rush the period between engagement and wedding in order to have the certainty of everyone we really want there to attend, or do we have the risk of leaving it till next year, but giving ourselves breathing space and to fit more into the natural timescale of where we would ideally like to enjoy just being engaged for the moment and just make it work with whatever relatives are hopefully still healthy and with us and able to enjoy it alongside us? Very difficult decision and everything is getting very booked up for this year, so any wise words (or any words at all) appreciated, thanks!
