Hi everyone,
Due to coronavirus, my fiancé and I decided to postpone our wedding celebration to next year, but we would like to have our ceremony this year. We are trying to figure out how to get married this August but still include both of our families, who live on opposite sides of the country. Family is very important to both of us, but we each have a parent who is sick and unable to travel safely with coronavirus concerns.
The solution that we are considering is to have 2 mini ceremonies, a few days apart in separate cities-- one mini ceremony with my family and one with his family. However, we are worried one ceremony won't feel "real". Plus exchanging the same rings twice might feel weird. Also, vows... should we say the same vows twice to reaffirm them, or have a different "script" with each ceremony to keep things new? Any advice on how to make this work out? Has anyone else done this before? Any advice would be appreciated! [Also, who would've imagined a few months ago having to make such wild/creative/unprecedented wedding choices?!] Thanks everyone!
