Hi! Hope all of you are doing well planning your weddings during the craziness of covid!
We're supposed to have our wedding on June 6th in Wisconsin (which is set to be locked down until the end of May). It was originally planned to be a church ceremony and a ballroom reception with about 200 guests and a 10 person bridal party....
Now that seems unlikely. We still want to get married on the 6th in a private ceremony. But the reception will probably have to be pushed back - possibly to next summer around our first anniversary (which our venue is working with us on).
My question to all of you is - are any of you having your ceremony and reception separately? And if you are - how are you going to make the reception still fee special when you've already been married a while? (including the bridal party, doing some sort of ceremony/vow renewal, what to wear/aesthetics, etc.) I'm worried that it'll feel forced or fake if it's not on our actual wedding day.
Any ideas/advice would be soo appreciated!! It's getting a little stressful!
Thanks and good luck to all out there in this same predicament! At least we're not alone!
