Finally Plan b

Girl...trying to sort through all of this at the moment. On top of Covid, I have a very sick FMIL and we are concerned for her safety and well-being.

We thought ‘Plan A’ we would have an intimate ceremony and reception with approximately 30 guests. Then Covid, and our reception venue advised we had to cap it at 24 PP (Including ourselves), which is fine, we made some choices before sending invitations.

We also decided on a ‘Plan B’ to have an intimate ceremony/elopement with just parents and have a vow renewal and reception in a year or so when all of this blows over.

Now FMIL is going back into the hospital for more treatment and we’re not sure how things will pan out for her and even for us and everyone else in the next 2+ months until October 3rd. After speaking with my priest, he suggested that we could do ‘Plan B’ even earlier than October if FMIL is feeling up for it. This leads me to think that we could do ‘Plan B’ and a modified ‘Plan A’ that would allow his parents decide if they feel safe to come that they can, and if not we can stream it over Zoom or what have you so they can watch the larger wedding and still be connected and apart of it.

What are your thoughts? WWYD? We are probably going to stick with Plan B, but do we do a modified Plan A in October or postpone a year from now to have a vow renewal and celebration with everyone?

I think that's a great plan b! With all the current uncertainty, I'm totally on board with all the couples having their ceremony now and postponing the big party for later!
