Dad and grandma can’t come to wedding.

I think postponing really depends on how important their physical presence at your wedding is to you. If you absolutely cannot imagine your wedding without these people, and feel he will forever regret it, postponing may be the best option. However, if you think their absence will be a disappointment that you can overlook/get over, then I’d carry on as planned and livestream the ceremony for them so they can be present virtually.

My wedding is also at the end of October. It’s a destination wedding for 70% of guest so we definitely have people opting out due to COVID. Even my sister (who lives a hour from the venue) is hesitant to attend. If she doesn’t come I will be sad but I understand that everyone has different levels of comfort when it comes to COVID. My FH and I decided that no matter what happens we are getting married on our planned date, even if that means it’s just the two of us.


You have to do what you feel is right. It’s a very personal decision.

My father with health conditions and two nieces are not coming due to COVID precautions. We postponed our wedding from 2020 and at this point are going to just proceed with our October wedding. I am saddened but its been such a rollercoaster the past year and a half that my outlook now is “it is what it is”.

My wedding is in 9 days. My grandma isn’t coming to my wedding due to her being in a nursing home with Alzheimer’s 9 hours away. That was the plan when we first started planning 2 years ago. However my dad just called me yesterday, while I was at work (PreK teacher). He never randomly calls me. And informed me my grandma isn’t expected to make it much longer. My first initial thought was he wasn’t going to be there. But he already told his siblings that he won’t miss my wedding not even for the funeral if it comes to that.
I told my FH a while ago that I would postpone my wedding if any of the wedding party (my bridesmaids, his groomsmen, my in-laws, my parents or step parents) got covid too close to the wedding. Only because I didn’t want to stress anyone out with the worry of guilt for missing the wedding.
