Hello All!
We are set to get married on June 7th in Ohio. Of course because of this pandemic we are wondering if we should postpone our wedding to the fall for the safety of our family members? I know the CDC recommended the next 8 weeks for 50 people or less but we are not even in the worse of the pandemic yet for the U.S and the government even mentioned this could go well into July or August (even taxes were postponed until July!). There are many people saying this virus is not a big deal and everyone is overreacting but I don't think many realize this disease mutated from an animal to human to start infecting the human population. That means our genetics and immune system do not have to right building blocks or foundation to even know how to fight the virus because we have never been exposed to this strain, which is why there is a pandemic. It is the same thing that happened with the Spanish Flu in the early 20th century. The only difference is, we didn't take the same precautions we are now. We have a lot of older family members that have to travel far distances to be able to attend our wedding and we do not want them to end up being exposed to this virus even if it is starting to calm down in June. On top of that, I can't even get ahold of the venue to continue planning and working with them because they are only focusing on the weddings within the next 8 weeks, which completely messes up our wedding planning. In the end, we want to have all of our family there and have them arrive safely too. Luckily we have not paid for a honeymoon or anything so we would only be pushing our wedding back. All of our vendors are willing to work with us, at this point it is a matter of what is best for our family attending the wedding with the virus rapidly spreading.
