Maid of Honour Advice

It is a hard one, but ultimately it is her choice. It is sad she doesn't get your concerns but there is not much you can do. In honestly she could get Covid anywhere so there is always a risk, but understand it is heightened by going on a plane. All you can do is ask her to LFT daily when she is back and keep your fingers crossed.

Agree with charlotte on this one all she can do is keep testing there is not much that can be done besides just hope for the best x💗

It's so hard - we've been invited to a wedding the week before ours, and don't feel "risk of covid" is an appropriate reason to decline at the moment given the vaccines and current guidance, but it is something that worries me and I might reconsider nearer the time if cases are really rife (we're a year away).

It's a real grey area at the moment, obviously covid is still very much a real threat but equally everyone should be triple vaxxed by now.

I don't have any advice other than to say I do feel for you and understand your worries. Ultimately it's good that you raised your worries but it is your friends choice - I really hope she is fine for your wedding day.

Unless she is planning on isolating completely for about 3 weeks before your wedding, she could still catch Covid. My OH and I got it from a friend who had tested negative a couple of hours before meeting it, and he has no idea where he got it from as he's always been so careful. And I didn't start testing negative until 17 days after that meeting.

At this stage, we just have to learn to live with the possibility unless we are all going to stay locked away forever.

Agree with the others. We got married 4 weeks ago and I was very worried about covid right up to the wedding. I stopped going into the office two weeks before but my now husband was not able to change his work habits as a delivery driver so we were all really worried about it. We took the other view not to test (some may not agree ) and just tried to minimise contacts and be sensible. We had one couple not come to the day because of Covid and one couple not come to the evening also due to covid so not that bad in the grand scheme of things. My main worry was someone in the bridal party getting it including my 87 year MIL but we were all ok on the actual day. MIL has however told us she has covid two weeks after our wedding🙈 but as my husband says she could have caught it in Asda! Thankfully for most people it is now very mild.
I don’t think you can dictate to your MOH though, you’ve explained your worries and that’s really all you can do. It’s her choice to go away on holiday I’m afraid.

I know it’ll be really worrying for you but I would have to agree with the other comments. There’s nothing you can do other than hope she doesn’t catch it. But she could catch it anywhere or she could catch another illness. X
