What to do — Intimate vs Postpone vs ?

I think if I were in your shoes I would get married that day and then do a reception later on

Our’s is already intimate, being cut down to 24 people. If things get worse our Plan B will be just ourselves with our parents & siblings. Plan C is to postpone alltogether.

Plan B would be if things go to the Yellow Phase where our vendors can still work a small event (besides the reception/catering) and do a nice take out meal.

Plan C is if we go back into the Red Phase.

Honestly like I would tell any of a bride during this time it all depends on what you want. Some bride have to have the big wedding with all of their friends and family there and that's a non-negotiable. Whereas there are bride to Jesse sided to elope or have a very small intimate ceremony and that's good for them. I personally am on the side of at the end of the day I'm not going to postpone marrying the man of my dreams because unfortunately Corona everything is unknown with it. Even though I'm only having an intimate ceremony and I should be good to go according to my venue and all of my vendors I'm still planning for the backup because I November 8th I'm marrying my husband to be no matter what. For me having a big wedding was not going to happen anyway and once I hit 30 I didn't need one but I do realize that it is very important for many brides to have and that's perfectly okay. If you feel like you need to have your special day and your special day involve a wedding with all of your guests there then postponed. If you really did the down and you realize that you are okay having a small backyard wedding with a few close family and may be friends then go that route. It's all about ultimately what will make you and your fiance happy. I am also doing speak and text because I'm driving so I apologize if my word look a little odd hahaha.

Hi Deanna! Like Kristen said, you just have to go with your gut and top priorities right now! Restrictions and social distancing guidelines could be in place for a long time, and it's really hard to say how long!

I do think it's a smart idea to go ahead and get legally married in a small ceremony, so you don't have to keep pushing that back as well!
