I know there are so many more important things than my wedding, but I’m feeling so sad as I’m realizing my wedding in Denmark might have to be cancelled. My husband and I eloped last summer in New York, but decided to have a proper wedding where our families and friends could attend and my mom and dad could walk me down the aisle. We planned a meticulous and magical wedding. In fact I was just there earlier this week finalizing our plans. I have dreamed of a wedding like this for a very long time (I’m not a young first time bride). My husband had also never been married and we are both so excited.
We both work in higher ed, I’m based in New York and he’s in Copenhagen. We usually aren’t apart longer than 2 weeks at a time. For the first time in our nearly 4 years together, he’s been grounded and can’t travel back to the US and we don’t know when we will be reunited. Reading the writing on the wall, we are pretty sure the travel restrictions will increase and we will have to cancel our wedding. Our friends and family are all over the world and we’re planning on attending. I certainly don’t want to risk the health of my parents who are nearly 70 or grandpa who will be 94.
I’ve been through a lot in my 44 years and was just really looking forward to this wedding to celebrate our love and as a symbol of what I have overcome. Today I’m at home, sick (NOT contagious) not knowing when I’ll see my husband again and nearly at the point of cancelling our dream wedding. I probably sound like a brat, but I could just cry.
Any sunny words of advice would be greatly appreciated!
