COVID brides who eloped in secret on your original wedding date and still plan on having a wedding celebration later this year or next. How do you plan on telling your guests that you got legally married?
We've mailed our change the date cards but did not indicate anything about us eloping. I want my guests to know that our elopement on June 20 was super simple. Pastor, one witness, and our wedding photographer, but my husband says we don't have to justify our actions to anyone. During our elopement, we did not wear our respective wedding attire, we did not say our personal vows, we did not even exchange rings as we don't even have our wedding rings yet! Those are all things we will do on our rescheduled date on October 16, 2020 (our wedding celebration) when we publicly declare our love and our marriage in front of our family and friends. I just don't want our guests to think they missed out on anything, you know? I guess I just worry that people will judge us, or they may not want to come to our wedding anymore. Also, I still plan on having a bridal shower in September since I never got to have mine because of COVID, so I don't know what that will look like or what people will think now that I'm already married.
