Feeling discouraged/ in a hard spot..

Hey y’all..
This one might get long..

When FH and I got engaged a year ago we originally wanted to go to the courthouse to get married and keep it really simple. Then as time went on I felt that we needed to include family and that we should do a small wedding. When this was brought up it was flipped around and turned into this huge 200+ person wedding and it was getting uncomfortable for me as I don’t like big crowds. Recently I went through and narrowed down our list as well as tried to simplify a lot of the plans. The venue we chose (keep in mind this was last July) was his family’s cabin. Earlier this year we were told we could no longer have our wedding at the cabin to which someone else opposed and we were told to forget that and that we still could. So since then I’ve been under the impression it would be okay to hold it there (as I get little to no communication). Until today. I contacted someone about it and was told that we may not be able to do it due to virus etc etc. FH insists that we’re going to do it there but I’m just not sure. There’s been run around after run around and I’d hate for my parents to spend their money and time helping me plan this wedding for us to be told we can’t do it there. I just don’t know what to do because having our wedding there will make FH happy but with sixty months to go I need to know what’s going on because I have to plan SOMETHING..

    Can you and your FH call the family member together and directly ask if using the cabin is still possible? If so, then get all the details like you would with any vendor and then set up a time to actually view the cabin with the owner and visionary plan the layout of the day. That way everyone knows it’s happening. But, since using the cabin is so iffy, you might want to look into back up venues in case the family member/owner declines. You still have 6 months and, I assume you have all of your vendors already. So you’d only need a new venue.

    I understand that your FH wants to have it at the cabin, but at this point, I would look elsewhere. The back and fourth of you can, you can't, would be exhausting and you don't want to get down to the wire and have no where to host your wedding.

    I would look for an alternative location. You should have a venue where there’s a contract in place. The back and forth isn’t okay. It sounds like it’s more of a person issue than a virus issue, so I don’t think it’s worth the risk.
