We were 4 days into our honeymoon when we got that dreaded text that I feared receiving. A couple who attended our small wedding (60 persons) said they started getting symptoms a day after our wedding and tested positive for Covid-19. My new husband and I ended our honeymoon early to quarantine as we had both been in close encounters with the couple when they would have been their most contagious. We got our covid tests results back a couple days into quarantining and they were negative. Most people from the wedding got tested after we shared with them that two people tested positive and no one else tested positive. We also had to move the wedding reception indoors bc of bad weather and most people did not wear masks during the reception bc they were drinking. The couple that tested positive for covid-19 had light symptoms like a cold but recovered fully after a couple days.
The story of what happened at our wedding might be an anomaly or it might be the norm. It’s hard to tell bc the only news articles I’ve read about weddings during covid-19 are of nightmare scenarios where everyone got sick.
