Hello! I need some advice from people who aren’t friends or family.
My wedding was originally October 2020 in nyc. Made the decision in July 2020 to postpone for June 2021.
At the time I thought “so much will change in a year.” Now that we’re in October and 8 months out I’m starting to become concerned my desire for a normal wedding won’t happen. When I say normal I mean no face masks no social distancing. A dance floor. Etc. with the current restrictions none of those things are currently possible.
I know “so much can happen in 8 months” but most doctors and dr Fauci included are saying it could be late 2021 before most people are vaccinated.
What’s really baffling to me, though, is everyone seems to think my wedding will be totally normal. I just can’t even imagine that to be possible. I know so many people getting married BEFORE me in 2021 who aren’t even thinking about this. I’m on a bunch of message boards every day and women are talking about their 300 person January 2021 weddings. Are they just going to release a vaccine and lift restrictions despite most people not being vaccinated!? Am I the only one stressed about this!?
What’s your honest opinion about early next year? At this point, “waiting and seeing” for the next 7 months isn’t something I’m interested in doing. Everyone also told me my October wedding would happen and it didn’t lol. I don’t want the stress of all of this anymore if it’s unlikely to be totally normal. We are even thinking about cancelling and losing all of our deposits and doing a small backyard ceremony just because none of this is fun anymore. However I get so confused hearing everyone saying 2021 is going to be normal for weddings.
Thank you all for your advice!
