Weddingmoon?

So our date is Sept 25th and we’ve already paid for the venue. The venue wasn’t the biggest cost, so it wouldn’t be a huge loss if we only get half back. Everything else is refundable at this point. I don’t know about y’all, but all of this pandemic stuff has made me less and less excited for a wedding. I keep thinking that September may be when all of this stuff is finally starting to calm down. Will it really be the best time for a big event? I’m really considering a destination wedding, but no guests - just my man and me. Aka a “weddingmoon”. It just sounds like a dream right now and so much less stressful. Also more about us and what we want rather than bending over backwards for guests. (Sorry for my bad attitude, ugh). But honestly, has anyone looked into this or known of anyone that’s done this? Any suggestions on location? I think no matter what, our cost would be less for this option than the wedding, so all ideas are welcome!

I REALLY think people need to just wait this out. Your wedding is the same month as mine. Just keep planning your wedding and living your life. If things are still bad in July or August then start talking. It’s really too early to get stressed over at this point.

That is called eloping, and many people do it all the time, always have. ( Note: recently on WW lots of people refer to a small JP or courthouse wedding with some family and friends as eloping. Not correct. Look in a dictionary.). My former FMIL got into making a mess of our plans. We gave up. Went from NH to Colorado, got a licence, got married. 2 witness we're a friend and a relative. Then we went on our honeymoon, exploring Co and Utah. Nobody was upset from my family in the end, or friends. They knew how impossible FMIL was being, and how determined she was to change every detail of our already completed plans. And just said, have fun. Come back with pictures! If anyone other than his parents ever wished we had gone through with the stress, no one every said so then, or in all the years since. One of my oldest brothers eloped, too. Next time he and wife were in our part of the country to visit, we had a huge party. A week after they each graduated from medical school , in a city far from us. Both headed further away for internships and residency programs. They thought the traveling alone , and wedding costs on top of that, were as much money as they would live on for 2 years. Do it, enjoy it. Pick a honeymoon in relatively wide open spaces.
