Wedding Planning Blues

Hey Katie!
As a new bride (June 6th, not even a week ago) I totally understand.
I continued on with my planning and wedding prep. I was happy, hopeful and optimistic about being a bride, and alot of people probably didn't understand.
I did not cancel, I did not postpone and my outdoor wedding carried on with the 50 guests we planned for, and 50 via zoom.
Like you, it was important to me, so I chose to embrace the day and to enjoy the process. Life is all about risk and uncertainty, but we can't stop living because of it.
I say, if it's your choice to carry on, do it. Don't let others fear hold you back. Each person, each guest will have their own choice to make on whether or not they want to attend your wedding.
None of us knows what tomorrow holds, but why not make the best of today? I say, plan, dream, hope and celebrate your upcoming wedding. I did, and I'll never regret it. That was the right choice for us.
Hugs to you! I'll cheer you all the way to your big day, I promise! It's not being selfish to enjoy your happiness. Congratulations! I'm so very happy for you. ❤💍👰I'm here, if you need me!

I think that’s fine to continue on with your wedding planning. There’s a ton of stuff that happens in the world every single day so if you stopped to be mindful for every world issue... no one would get a single thing done. It’s nice of you to try to be mindful of these issues though.

View Quoted Comment Thank you so much! My Family and some of my friends have been making me feel as if I'm being insensitive for continuing to plan my Wedding and quarantine (I am highly susceptible to the virus) instead of going out and protesting like I usually would. I just can't risk my life right now when it's just starting.

View Quoted Comment Thank you so much! So many of my friends and family have been making me out to be some kind of bad guy for not participating in local protests. I've been trying to Quarantine as much as possible because I have a compromised immune system as well as trying to plan a Wedding in the midst of all this.

View Quoted Comment I don't think anyone is being insensitive by living life. We can't just stop living because bad things will continue to happen, that's the way of the world, in my opinion. We can't hide from life for two years until a vaccine is found .
Our ancestors didn't, when they faced pandemics. I'm not condoning crazy behavior. Just carrying on with life, if that's your choice. Shelter in place, if that's your choice.
Good luck to you, and enjoy this time. It's different, but it can still be celebrated
