October Wedding

My advice/opinion - push forward with your intended date b/c COVID is not going anywhere. We've been in the same situation since March - the UNITED STATES.. has legit had everyone in a holding pattern on regulations, mask wear, what the virus can/can't do. It's all a mess and everyday they discover something new. It's been 5 months going on 6 and things are not getting any better, even when a vaccine or medicine is introduced there will be problems with accessibility, and choice to take the vaccine/medication. In short - We don't know how long COVID and the regulations in place will be around for. I personally think it's time that we all accept our "new normal" and live our lives with safety protocols in place and mask wear. No wedding from 2020 to 2022 will be like weddings pre-covid - it's just not happening. So I would highly consider what is important to you and your fiance, the state of how things are in America, and regulations in the state you reside. If you would be ok with pushing to 2021 with the possibility of having to reschedule again, then go for it! If you can't imagine dealing with the stress and anxiety of constantly checking the news, wondering if your day will come, rescheduling vendors, then get married on your original date. We postponed from Aug. to Oct of this year, and decided we are pushing forward even if it's just us and our parents. At this point, we are all living in a pandemic and the uncertainty of quality of life and future events/gatherings is too fluid. Will our wedding be how originally planned? NO. Am I dishing out money for a larger event that is now way smaller? YES. Will I marry the love of my life and start our family? YES. Will my wedding anxiety and stress end? YES. We have to weigh out the pros and cons like we would with any decision, and it truly comes down to what you and your fiance want, every brides journey is unique. Also, ALL COVID BRIDES can do whatever the F**K they want - all rules and formality go out the window. It's hard enough to plan a wedding, let alone during a pandemic, so, I'm sorry, but things will not follow the same timeline as a normal wedding b/c things are not normal right now and everyone (guests) need to just roll with it or don't show up at the wedding! We brides should be enjoying this time, and we can't, so don't put more stress on yourself by considering everyone else, consider yourself and your fiance's needs, then your parents/siblings, then everyone else. I hope this helps
