My FH and I are getting married in late Nov of this year. We haven’t postponed anything yet, but we have a plan B-1 and plan B-2. Plan B-1 is if we’re able to, to have a small ceremony and to have a little reception afterwards (pizza and soda type thing) but to then have a reception and maybe a ceremony next year, so we can have the wedding we originally planned. Plan B-2 is to only do the small thing with nothing planned later. Now I do want an actual wedding and having his family & friends and my family & friends together is important to me, but here’s the question for Plan B-1:
Will people still care in a year? Especially since we’ll technically be married by then. His family and friends are in TX so it’s more of a question of if they’ll want come to AZ (where we live) for the wedding in a year. Will it even still feel like our wedding? Will others see it as gratuitous? I want people’s honest opinions. I hope they would all be understanding about the circumstances, but I have anxiety and have always assumed people don’t care and would not go out of their way. Would you still care to go or would your thinking be “they have their cake and now they want to eat it too?” Advice, opinions and knowing what others are doing is greatly appreciated! I know it’s a little premature since nothing is postponed for us yet, but we’re having to think about these things now, so I don’t get panic attacks later in crunch time. Thanks! 🖤
