Covid Consideration

*Trigger warning - if you are having mental health struggles due to COVID-19, please don't read.*


I think there are a lot of people with depression and anxiety over this, so I don't want to distress them further. But I have seen a lot of people that appear to not have sufficient awareness of the gravity of current events, and that really concerns me. I wanted to share a perspective that's going to drive my decision on my wedding date, just to see if it does help someone weigh their consideration.
Imagine you have your wedding. It's your dream wedding! Everyone you love was there, they had a great time - people that would've never otherwise met got to know each other. Fantastic day.
By the time you get your pictures back, some people have gotten sick from the photos, some of their families have been affected - their siblings who didn't even attend, their elderly grandparents. I can't imagine a more difficult and horrible thing to be able to link my wedding to any funerals.
I plan to evaluate 3 months ahead before sending invites, and if recommended distancing (from the CDC or WHO - *not* the govt) is still in place at whatever # - it's time to move it. Warmer temperatures are currently in Australia and Singapore - as of March 17, it's not believed to have an effect on transmission rates or severity.
Don't panic, don't despair, stahp buying so much TP 😉 and definitely keep supporting each other and helping your community where you can (even just giving your neighbors your # to chat). Thanks for reading.
