12/11/20 - Hoping for the best, thinking about the worst

I posted the other day about my December 11, 2020 date. We’ve already had to postpone once and I really don’t want to rearrange everything again.
I was thinking we’ll be recovered enough for things to be almost “normal” and then I started hearing about a second wave. Ugh.
I feel like they’ll be allowing gatherings/weddings by December (Long Island NY) and maybe worst case would be a 50 person limit. If that’s the case we’ll keep our location and just make it small. Our venue is a historic manor and would still be beautiful with a small guest list. Thinking about this and coming to terms that we’ll somehow have a wedding on our day no matter what made me feel a whole lot more relaxed. It may not be our big 175 person party, but the main thing is we get to tie the knot and start a family. Good luck to everyone out there trying to come to terms and make peace with all the uncertainty. ❤️

My wedding is a month after and also in LI. I really hope they don’t have a limit for gatherings as I am expecting about 230 guests. If I do have to postpone I’d hope it would only be for a month or two. I want a winter wedding. I already have a guarantee of 150 guests so I don’t want to throw that money down the drain with a smaller guest list. I’ve been planning for almost three years now so I would hate for this to keep going on and on. I think we should be okay by then.

Hoping for all the best for you!! A December date gives you a long time for things to change and hopefully improve!
A historic manor sounds perfect for a smaller celebration if necessary!

Thanks! Today I’m having a bad day. My fiancé and I were just talking over options. My friend was getting married in November and moved it to next year and that got my brain going.
But my fiancé is waiting for major surgery to happen in the next couple weeks. So he’s in severe pain and not in the headspace you be thinking about changing plans.
I’m so frustrated I just said heck with it, let’s wait and if we have to cancel we’ll figure it out then. We already had to postpone once when we found out about this surgery. 😔

Bad days are totally allowed and that's what we're here for! That has to be extra stressful to be nervous about your fiancé's health, and handling most of the wedding decisions since he's understandably focused on the pain and upcoming surgery plans.
Would it help ease your stress a little mentally if you picked an official date to re-evaluate your wedding plans? Even if it's just putting an alert on your calendar for September 1st, that way you can commit to not stressing about it until then (or trying not to stress 😉). That might help you mentally set this aside for a few weeks so you and your fiancé can focus on one thing at a time.
