Hi all
I'm mostly writing just to hear from others in similar boats. We were due to get married on 16th May. I started to get really worried in February as things were not feeling good, then when they announced the over 70s would be told to stay inside, I knew I had to delay, lockdown or not, as it affected my Dad and many family members and family friends.
Obviously, the lockdown doesn't yet cover our wedding date so the venue is holding the 15th May 2021 for us. We were hoping to claim on insurance but the insurance company has recently decided to find a loophole and not honour any covid claims.
When we discussed postponing with the venue, they did offer some dates in 2020 but I wanted to put as much time between now and our wedding in the hope things would have settled down. Now, all the news is that this will be with us for years, the 'new normal', social distancing at all times etc. I know I shouldn't think too far ahead but does anyone else worry about what shape their wedding will now take? After going through the heartbreak of postponing once, I don't know how we could do it again. My main hope is that there'll be a cap on guest numbers - say 50 or 100 and we would just have to work to that.
I also feel a lot of guilt, because weddings seem inconsequential with everything else going on and I know we're in a really fortunate position.
Any thoughts from others in a similar position or advice on how others are coping would be greatly received!
Sending everyone who has had to postpone or are worried of needing to do so later in the year, a great big hug.
