Covid-19 Wedding

Saira, on May 3, 2020 at 9:17 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 7
So I really want a regular wedding, but with everything going on right now, I can’t have a big wedding how I was initially planning.. It just doesn’t make sense to push our wedding 4 month back and not start our life together. But I was thinking to have a small get together with just our families and then the following year throw our wedding as a renewal of vows. Do you guys think that less people would attend since we will be already married? What should I do? tenor.gif

    People will still attend. If they don’t, are they really the kind of people you want there in the first place?

    If you look through this board, you'll see tons of brides in similar situations with a similar plan. Most people will understand that plans had to change given the global pandemic. And if they don't, then they probably aren't the most supportive people in general.

    We are considering the same thing!! I think people will still come and celebrate with you, especially if they are close friends and family. I say go for it! If people decide not to come, that’s on them and their true colors would definitely show.

    I think given the circumstances, plenty of people will still come! I think the current thought on "vow renewals" is being tossed out given that most of the US is still closed down, and a lot of people are trying to be considerate to their guests. I feel you though - we had to postpone our 4/4 wedding with about two weeks to go, and I cried resetting our countdown counter. Just breathe! The most important thing is your marriage, and if nothing else you can have a small ceremony now and have a bigger event later.

    I feel this is a good idea. I don't think least ppl will attend. It to me will be just as important as you guys first getting married. I feel ppl will show and support more bc of not being able to be there from the 1st time. Good luck

    I think that's a great idea Saira! And I definitely don't think less people will attend - everyone understands why you're postponing the celebration! Smiley heart
