Hi all,
I am torn. I have been expecting this - the town I was to have my wedding in June 18th 2022 just adopted vaccine mandates that will be in place at this time "indefinitely " and will be reviewed in March - however they are already stating May 1st - all children 5-11 must be vaccinated to enter venue as well.
I am fully vax's and boostered - most of my family and FH family is as well. However his mom and best man are not - and now it looks like he wants to cancel the whole thing because they cannot attend.
I am so upset that he is leaning toward cancelling (although I have had a bit of family drama this year and he keeps urging me to go with planning) over his family - when he was always reassuring me this was our day.
I paid all the deposits - I am losing around 8k. I bought a beautiful dress I need to pick up in 3 weeks finally - only to never wear it. I am fine with complying with the vaccination requirement - as my grandfather just contracted a breakthrough case of COVID at a wedding and went from independently living to now being on hospice.
I am so hurt - we have been fighting over this for 2 days now and have decided to tell our families at the holidays and then send cancel the date cards in the new year. I am 40- I am not postponing this until it is safe for his mom to stay unvaxxed
I do think this resentment will build and end the relationship as the date gets closer - we have been together 3.5 years. This stinks
Thanks for the vent
