‘Socially Distanced” dance floor?

View Quoted Comment

I definitely hear what you’re saying - the restrictions are not ideal. We just can’t postpone for several personal reasons. Each phase is 2 weeks long and they can make them longer or shorter based on how things go. The county we’re getting married in is very rural and things have been really quiet there virus-wise. I’m hoping that worst case we will have to have a smaller gathering (50 people). Right now we only have 88 guests so it wouldn’t be a massive day. I’m just trying to think of backup plans to make a fun atmosphere. All I can really do these days is come up with backup plans since the future is so unclear. Hope your big day is able to go as planned in MD!

That makes sense, I know it's hard deciding what to do. True, although each phase would ideally be 2-4 weeks you just never know. Maryland had put out a draft of their phases and the Governor put Phase I lasting until September. So I guess that's why at least down here I just don't see it moving as quickly as people are hoping it will. My county in Maryland still isn't even Phase I since the governor allowed each county to make their own decisions. Only 2 counties in the state are fully at his Phase I reopening, the rest are either closed still or modified to a pre-reopening phase I.

I see..it's also different for me since we're inviting around 200 so it's significantly larger than yours. I do hope you get the day you want. I agree I've been trying to get a Plan B but my venue won't even let me do that. I'm hoping by June they realize it is not happening.

Best of luck to you, regardless of the restrictions you may face I'm sure it will be the day you imagined just for the mere fact you get to marry your fiance!! At the end of the day I assume that's really all that matters for any of us.

View Quoted Comment Yes I am very positive. The restrictions will continue to be lifted. Ohio is honestly moving faster than I expected, so if we continue down this path then all will be well. Today marks 3 months for us and a lot can happen in 3 months.

View Quoted Comment Lol that’s a funny and creative idea.

So true! I hope you get the big day you envisioned as well All of this is really stressful but I’ve been trying to remember that the hard part is actually over in that we’ve found our special person These will certainly be weddings to remember lol!

I would keep the dancing outdoors, then indoors I would do like a photo booth or backdrop, games, corn hole etc to spread people out sucks but this will be the norm I guess. And yes I'm from NYC and i'm getting hopeful as well.

Naikesha that sounds like a good idea thank you 3 Yes it’s looking better - hopefully it will keep trending in that direction!

HI there, was wondering if you had your wedding and if you did indeed have your dance floor outside and how it went? Asking as my daughter is getting married in September and we are considering doing the same. And congrats on your wedding!

View Quoted Comment Hi Tracy! We weren't able to do it outside (probably for the best because it got pretty hot out there) but inside people didn't mind wearing masks and keeping a little distant on the dance floor. We had 43 people total and it was a blast Hope your daughter has the best day. We had so much fun that the entire weekend we nearly forgot a pandemic was going on.
