Just Said Yes July 2020

Advice needed!

Hello everyone!
I am seeking advice for my situation. My husband and I got married in the courthouse July 2019 with a plan to have a destination wedding in a year. Little did we expect for a pandemic to ruin those plans and we have unfortunately cancelled the destination wedding. It has always been a dream of mine to have a wedding and walk down the aisle. But at this point in time it seems that we are jumping through many hoops to try and make a wedding work (limited funds, large family, timing). I don’t really know whether to move on and have a wedding as planning a wedding during a pandemic just seems too risky considering the loss we took cancelling our destination wedding. I already bought my wedding dress and my husband already put a down payment on his tux. We did have the chance to have wedding photos so I was thinking of just doing a photoshoot on our upcoming anniversary. I am really confused and disappointed during this time. Any advice you have would be great!

Have you ever thought of having a micro wedding, a lot of venues may have a special for couples that still want to have a wedding with a limited number of guests, but if thats a no go, there's nothing wrong with a little old photoshoot.

If it’s a dream of yours don’t give up because you will always wish for it. An idea would be to have a ceremony with just your closet most dear people and have a photo shoot as well. If a family member or friend has a nice large outdoor space at their home you could create your own ceremony space and it wouldn’t be expensive.

I love the anniversary photo shoot idea!!
Another WeddingWire bride named Amy just shared her wedding portraits taken after their wedding that arrived just in time for their 1st anniversary:

I also like the idea of doing an intimate ceremony with special unity elements! You could keep the guest list small and still do something really special!
