Risking her life

I have a bridesmaid who is my makeup artist for me and bridal party who says she doesn't want to be in the wedding because of covid but yet she said she will be at the ceremony. My thing is if she's scared of covid and risking her life why go at all. I'm sending my invitations out to everyone and I don't want to give her one because I only want people attending both due to the number we are allowed to have. I think it's unfair to have two people at the ceremony but not at the reception when I may have two people who want to be at both. The second person I'm mentioning is her fiance which was also a groomsmen she texted me a day before guys was supposed to get tux and told me this. If she would have said they didn't want to be apart of the wedding party I would have been fine with that but for the simple fact your saying you want to come to the ceremony although you are scared of covid don't make sense to me. Am I wrong for not wanting to invite them? FYI he works in the hospital and she is cosmetologist still working.

I appreciate you saying that because it's just not possible and alot of brides are getting hit. I'm not trying to be a bleep or be selfish and I feel like I have to do what's best for everyone in this instance. I wish I could postpone but it's not possible. And no one is helping with me trying to do so it's so easy to have a say without putting your self in someones situation.

Aaah OK and I think alot of people are misreading because tbh I don't know any bride that would feel some type of way of saying you don't want to be a bridesmaid because you scared for your life but yet you come to the ceremony. It doesn't makes sense

I think she probably doesn't want to be a bridesmaids anymore or maybe she doesn't want to do the makeup and just figured if she said it was due to covid it would sound better than I don't want to do this anymore I got way in over my head. I don't understand people who don't feel safe doing one thing because of covid but feel safe going to the ceremony, work, bars, dining in at restaurants, and shopping for unnecessary stuff. Like if I felt scared to catch covid I wouldn't be getting Tim Hortons every morning before work and then after work go out to dinner with my fiance or meet up with some friends at the bar. I agree with you It just doesn't make sense to me. Maybe it's just me.

That's what I thought like if I'm not risking anything I'm not doing anything but to be doing people out your house and pick and choose it doesn't make sense. And God forbid if she catch it it will be my fault

I definitely agree. I had a friend whos girlfriend didn't want to have him over her house at all during covid because she was afraid of catching covid. But she was still working every day, going out shopping at target for clothes and getting her coffee from the coffee shops, oh and order take out for lunch. And I told him if she hasn't changed anything in her life due to covid except for you coming over there might be a lot more to it than covid.

I guess one thought that she could be having is as a guest she’d only be in a crowd for a shorter time, and could probably wear a mask, but is probably thinking for pictures and formality the bridal party would not wear masks. Also the bridal party tends to spend much more time together in close quarters. But you also said she’s your makeup artist for the wedding. Has she said she’ll still do this or is she wanting to back out of this as well?

It doesn't make sense TO YOU. Clearly it makes sense to her. Frankly, it makes sense to me too. Being at a ceremony vs. being at a reception are two vastly different things in terms of danger. Short length of time, sitting in one spot that you choose for a short reception, socially distancing, keeping your mask on the entire time = lower risk. Reception where people are moving around, much longer period of time, most people probably will not be wearing a mask for much time because they're eating and drinking throughout the event = much higher risk.
