April 27 wedding

My wedding is 5/3 and we already moved it to the Fall . I think given the new regulations that come out every day around the world, perhaps it's good to have a backup plan to move it as the event might not even be held legally.

I feel the exact same way, and I hate to be the Debbie Downer in most of these discussions but it is absolutely a selfish move to continue, especially after the CDC recommendation of no events 50+ for the next eight weeks. My event is 35 and 8.5 weeks away and I'm heavily considering postponing the celebration. People think it will get better by then, but with attitudes like these thinking your plans, money, time put into this event supersedes public health? It absolutely won't even begin to turn around by May. Thank you for being another voice of reason (not panic!).

View Quoted Comment You asked if you were being selfish, and people answered. No one is being rude, you simply wanted to hear from people that your decision was ok.

View Quoted Comment Actually, as a nurse or physician, you do have a different relationship with sickness than the CDC does, because we are accustomed to caring for the patients in front of us, while they are committed to caring for the entire population at large. Being a nurse or physician does not make you more of an expert on population health or community risk than the epidemiologists at the CDC are.
Healthcare workers like us are more likely to be exposed to the virus and should be especially vigilant about the risk of spreading it to others in our communities.

I don't think you're being selfish or unrealistic. My fiance and I are kind of doing the same thing for our May 6th date here in Memphis. Plus, as a medical professional, you are more likely than most to understand the situation. Unless things change for the worst for you all within the next few days, I think you will be ok.

View Quoted Comment Hi Sharon! How were you able to cut down your guest list having your wedding next month? Did you already send out invites? I might need to do this as well but what are you telling people and are they upset?

I don't think you're being selfish especially if no one is flying in or majority are local. They aren't losing out on any travel arrangements. If anything, your guests should be more patient and understanding in my opinion IF they do not have to make travel arrangements. What do they expect you to do? I'd give it at least until April 1.
