Here's some background: We're scheduled to get married in the states on July 4th. His family is all local to the area. My family lives in the UK, and my parents are living in Uganda.
Because of Covid, we're not sure if we'll be able to get married in July. However, if we are able to get married as scheduled (which we will only do if my parents are able to be there) , there's a large chance that my relatives from the UK won't come (specifically my grandparents) because of health concerns. Because of that, we've been throwing around the idea of having another wedding reception/celebration of some sort in Belfast at the end of August (we'll be in N. Ireland anyway for my grandparents' wedding anniversary celebration). That way they can be a part of the wedding celebration even if they can't be at the main wedding.
If we do this, should we do another ceremony as well? (minus the vows), or should we just do a reception-style dinner with dancing? Do we do a first dance and cake cutting, etc. as well? What are your thoughts?
Thanks!
