Our original wedding date should have been February 21. Due to covid, it’s been postponed until April 21. One of the main reasons we wanted to get married was so we could start a family.
With all the uncertainty at the moment, we decided to start trying in December, thinking it might take a few months. But it didn’t! We found out the day Boris made the announcement of lockdown (meaning the wedding had to be postponed) that I’m pregnant.

It is of course amazing news and we are thrilled! But now I just don’t know what to do.
We were completely fine with a small wedding of 15 and had decided the big wedding wasn’t what we wanted any more. Of course, we don’t even know if the small wedding in April will be able to go ahead with lockdown but if it can, I will be 17 weeks pregnant.
Just looking for some objective opinions: would you postpone until 2022 or keep your fingers crossed that restrictions might be lifted slightly by April and get married while pregnant?

We wanted to do the same but decided to wait until our April- 21 wedding day to start trying just in case.

Personally I’d say speak to your fiancé and see what he says. Ultimately it depends on what you value in a wedding...If you want to drink etc then you might want to postpone however if you are old fashioned/traditional/ don’t care about drinking then get married (if allowed) in April and enjoy the next phase of your lives.
Good luck with whatever you decide x

Thank you for your reply!
Unfortunately my fiancé’s only response is the super helpful “I’m happy to do whatever you want to do.”
We’re unlikely to be drinking at the wedding anyway because if lockdown is lifted but we’re in Tier 3, it’s literally just the ceremony anyway. I know it’s so vain but part of me just worries about looking back at the photos and not feeling my best... it’s a floaty chiffon A-line dress. But I hadn’t imagined a bump in my wedding dress.

Firstly congratulations!
We are getting married in April (hopefully ?) and we have also decided to stop contraception now and see what happens, if I'm pregnant before then it won't be the end of the world. We are only having a small one

And again ??‍♀️, you will still look beautiful in your dress and makes it super special to know your baby was with you on your wedding day (cheesy but might help in the decision making)

Ha, does he know my fiancé by any chance ?. That’s the standard response I’d get.
With all these restrictions it’s hard to know either way. Concentrate on your little bun and when you do decide to get married you’ll have a built in flower girl/page boy!
I’d restrictions do lift, maybe do the legal bits? Nice to capture your current stage maybe?

Thanks ☺️ I keep going between thinking I’ll look back on the photos and think “Aww how special that the baby was in my tummy” and “Oh god, I’m fat.”
And obviously it’s harder at the moment because only very few people know so I can’t discuss it with anyone!
Good luck with yours!

If I were you I’d have the wedding in April - whatever the rules, and then the big party in a year or so. You’ll still look amazing in April, and 17 weeks won’t be a huge bump I don’t think (especially with a floaty dress). But it’s totally up to you! Exciting times!

"We are only having a small one"
I don't think you can decide the size of your baby in advance

Congratulations on your wedding Hannah! If you're thinking of having a big wedding instead, then you can just prepare for it in the latter time, for now, I think it would be a very cute lasting memory to find your future pictures that you were doing your wedding with your hubby and your eldest child!
