I’ve seen a few posts about concerns for covid restrictions, but where I live restrictions are not returning. Is anyone worried about going forward with their plans in light of the delta variant out of safety for their families and their own abnormal stress levels during the pandemic? We’ve been planning a small wedding (50 guests?) for October 2 in a midsized Midwest city. Like most, we were not anticipating a variant like Delta. While all members of our small families are vaccinated, my fiancé’s family is a significantly older, and the majority of our family would be flying in from various states (TX, CO, WI, WA). My parents live in the same city as us, but that is the extent of any local family. Additionally, 5 out of 6 members of our wedding party will be participating in other, out of state weddings in the 2 weeks leading up to our day. The vaccines gave us hope our fall wedding was possible, but now the news of the delta variant, breakthrough cases etc. is making me wonder if we should postpone, and just move ahead with a small elopement-ish ceremony with just my parents? I know the vaccines are still very effective against the worst case scenarios, but it still kinda feels like March 2020 all over again?? I can’t imagine people wanting to come in during a surge, and I worry about risking the health of my parents (who are really the only close family I have). Also, the thought of my family or my fiancé and I testing positive before our wedding day is just filling me with anxiety.
