My husband and I got married August 8, 2020. We were supossed to get married in Western NY but due to travel restrictions we couldn't go to NY. For financial and insurance reasons we decided to have a small ceremony in Wisconsin where we live. All of his family lives here and all my family is in NY. The only person from my family that was able to make it was my grandma, who was also our officiant.
As we already had deposits down that we didn't want to lose out on we planned to atleast have a reception out in NY next year to celebrate with my family. We are also thinking about renewing our vows and wearing our outfits (my dress, he bought a suit). Everything was supossed to be at my frandparents farm which has special meaning to me.
My problem now is my sister just got engaged (2 days ago) and is planning on getting married at the same farm either in September of 2021 or 2022. While I have a strained relationship with my sister I am happy for her and don't want to take away from her day. My mom was severely disappointed she could not help me get ready and wants to see me in my dress.
Should we keep our plan to do a vow renewal and reception next August or should we just have a more casual party to celebrate?
