All of us have had to roll with the punches, but now it seems like it's just plain old bad luck.
Let me give you a quick overview of my experience.
1. Wedding was supposed to be July 11th, 80 persons. We could not get all the vendors on the same schedule so we changed to July 4th.
2. Covid. Our country was shut down in March. The legal office was closed so we didn't get our marriage license until July 16th. We set a new Sept 5th date.
3. The country relaxed restrictions. Guest count at weddings went from 10 to unlimited as long as social distancing protocols could be followed. We planned for 40 guests.
4. Spike in covid cases. We cut our list down to 25, anticipating restrictions. When the restrictions came, the guest count was limited to 10.
5. Ok, we uninvited half our guests. Cut our wedding party. Decided to handle setting up the decorations ourselves. Swapped our DJ for an ipod and some speakers. Buying food from a restaurant instead of having a caterer and servers. Ordered a much smaller cake. The beaches are closed so our "honeymoon" has moved from a lovely secluded resort to a hotel.
6. Today, with 12 days to go, we've been informed that the rental company has been closed and quarantined until further notice.
Now FH is saying that his workplace sent one of their employees home. He's scheduled to be in the office all week.
I've tried to be positive and remember that many of us are going through this. But things are changing daily and every time I work something out, another wrench is thrown into my plans. I've tried to keep our wedding as simple as possible to prevent these exact things from happening! I'm just completely frustrated and starting to feel stressed out.
A bit of encouragement from you ladies will help a lot
I'm on the verge of giving up
-edit- In my country the bride and groom have to apply for a marriage license before getting married. We then have up to 6 months to actually tie the knot and only then can we get our marriage certificate.
