Hi Ladies,
So yesterday we were faced with a unique problem. We booked our venue in November before the pandemic for May 2021. I’ve been feeling pretty lucky that we were booked on such a great date next year, especially (and unfortunately) having to watch so many brides postpone.
But yesterday the best man let us know that another friend of his (who he is also the best man in their wedding) had to postpone their wedding due to COVID and that they re-booked... on our wedding date. Meaning he could no longer be the best man in our wedding or even attend.
My fiancé was HEARTBROKEN and of course was asking me what our options are. He asked if we could change our date, but I’m really struggling with the thought of it. Part of me thinks it’s absurd to change the date with less than a year to go and that it would make planning more difficult than it already is. We have this ideal date (that hopefully won’t be affected by this pandemic) and we’re giving it up? The other part of me loves him so much and knows that it could be something we sacrifice so his friend can be there and be his best man. But selfishly, I just can’t get past really not wanting to go down that path and find out how many other things may be impacted by a date change.
He asked what I would do if this happened to my maid of honor, and unfortunately “she would never let that happen, she has this date tattooed in her brain” was just not the right answer. It is SUCH a unique situation and I’m just at a loss.
Any advice?
