Just Discovered fh is Immunocompromised

Hey don’t blame yourself for not knowing that he was immunocompromised before the check up. You couldn’t have known that and those past things are done.
Now it’s time to look forward. I would definitely have him go out lesser now than before. My parents don’t go out much except some grocery shopping not super often either as they’re immunocompromised and elderly.

Oh OP I am sorry about FH's condition. Don't beat yourself up about something that you couldn't have known. If I were in your situation, I likely would have done the same thing unknowingly, but alas we can't walk around on eggshells for fear of the unknown.

I don't know what you have planned for the wedding (i.e. guest count, location, measures you're taking) but I am sure it will be ok Hang in there!

You can't blame yourself. That's an issue he has with his body. This is a crappy time but as one bride said we must adapt. He will need to take extra precautions. He's done ok so far and I am a teacher so he'll need to go back to work. Do some research but for me my students will have to keep their distance. Wear a face shield or a mask. I hope I don't sound rude but coronavirus is a very scary thing but it sounds to me like he could be susceptible to catching a flu or common cold with his condition so for any situation he's just going to have to take extra precautions. Also I strongly suggest that he wipe down his desks from the students. I think you should talk to him and make a good compromise but maybe at your wedding encourage guests to wear masks, have plenty of hand sanitizer and while it's not fun maybe you could tell guest to keep their distance from the bride and the groom to avoid contact during the corona times. Or worst case scenario what do you feel about postponing once this is all settled but that could be awhile? I feel like you could still have a small intimate wedding and maybe it's just me I don't feel like the number of guests that come to a wedding as what's going to make you feel like a bride. You could elope just like you said in your wedding dress with a couple of family members and still make it feel like a bride. So maybe you can have the ceremony and do a miter reception afterwards but again see what he feels most comfortable with and see what he's also willing to do.

I can hear how much you care for him in the post. When we get new info, I think it's a sign of intelligence and maturity to adjust your behavior to that new info. You've realized his risk is higher, you love him, so you're thinking of how to adjust what you can to reduce his risk again. That sounds wise and proactive to me. 😃
Whatever you and he decide on (going forward with more precautions or eloping), just get to a point where you can sleep at night with your choice. Try to shift to an "alert, not anxious" outlook (Dr. Mike from YouTube loves that phrase) - you're thinking on the risks and making the best decisions you can.
Good luck!

I am so sorry, but do not blame yourself. If your FH didn't want to go out, he wouldn't have. Just as this post mentions, he sounds very susceptible and will just have to take extra precautions. Please don't let this take away from your wedding. There are ways to work through this, have faith, it will all work out. Sending Hugs.

I am an immunocompromised bride and also a teacher. When FH asked for my parents blessing, my heart condition was a big portion of their conversation. And he has been so amazing during these past 5 months. You can’t blame yourself for encouraging him to hang out with friends and family. However, my heart condition was a playing factor in why we decided to push our wedding as well. I hope everything works out.
