Heartbreaking email from venue

That's exactly how I feel! About how there's no point in postponing since we don't really know if this will be better next year. Ugh, I'm so sorry to everyone who's going through this. We're also trying to make the decision to possibly scrap the entire plan of postponing and just doing something small. Our ceremony venue was going to let us go through with it, but only if we wore masks during the ceremony, which is absolutely a no from me. Our reception venue is shut down so we're out of options.

I'm not sure what state you're getting married in, but we have a DW in FL - Masks are mandatory in the Keys indoors and out... NOW, they do have a stipulation regarding weddings and the whole not eating /drinking... but I read that while it is mandatory, they will not be policing it. - So google those things and they'll show up in your feed eventually on their own... at least for me they did.

I say go forward with your plans, it looks like from other posts even at your 75 count you should be OK.... So have faith, it stays that way, Masks suck and I don't want them, but worse would be not marrying the man I love on the day we planned.

We are down to 80 guests who feel comfortable coming and I plan to wear a mask for myself at all times except during the ceremony/first dance/cake cutting. I will have guests wear masks.

For the live stream, I actually asked my DJ and they are going to set this up for me. Maybe reach out to your vendors- DJ or photographer or videographer if you have one? I do think some people will watch-my closest friends and family who can't come will tune in I'm sure.

I think if Covid has taught us anything, it's shown us what's really important; Family and being with the ones we love. Big parties and celebrations can and will happen again.
