Covid Plan b

I just want to get my frustrations out. Our wedding is in March and I keep checking different discussions to see how others are going about thier plan B weddings for the same dates but it's just making me more sad. Other people have plans for lowering thier number of guests or just moving the party outside but we can't do any of those things due to our states' restrictions. We're currently under lockdown but the next phase of reopening has hard limits on gatherings of no more than 5 people total. Our current back up plan is just our witnesses and parents but that is exceeding the limit of people and we have been struggling to pick a place we could have our ceremony without being fined. We could have only our witnesses and have our parents video call in but that feels weirdly detatched to me. We are still planning on having our (already payed for) bigger wedding at a later date but we still wanted to get legally married on our current date as we already have the paperwork and had plans to refinance our house. I guess I'm just feeling sad about not having the wedding, that I already planned and payed for, for at least another year and I'm exceedingly jealous of people who's only changes are to lower thier guest lists a tiny bit. On the upside, we are planning on getting oursleves a small cake from the same baker who is doing our big cake which means we can have the flavors we couldn't fit in our big one. We can also get the marscapone cream frosting we originally wanted but couldn't have due to the design on our bigger cake. Thanks for letting me get my feelings out.

    I hate this for you. Obviously COVID was the wrench in so many people's plans, but that doesn't make it any easier to experience. Hopefully the pandemic will have calmed some, and the restrictions will be lessened, but obviously you have to plan for what *is* not what you hope will be.

    We didn't have to have witnesses, so I don't know what the requirements are, but could you each have a parent sign as witnesses? Or is there a rule against it?

    Will you have dinner and cake with your witnesses/parents, or will it be just the two of you? Is there a nice restaurant near to you (or even a favorite restaurant) where you could get a take away meal?

    Is it possible you could have the ceremony in someone's backyard and rent a tent and one of those nice porter potties with a flushable toilet and sink?

    It seems like you just need to get some frustrations out... and it’s ok! Scream, cry, whatever. The brides on here are overwhelmingly positive and supportive and offer great advice (❤️) but quite frankly sometimes we just need to lose it over the fact that our elite electorate don’t even follow their own guidelines and then tell us what to do!?! (Looking at you Gavin Grewsome 🤬)

    Just wanted to wish you the best ☺️ and say that many of us are at the same level of frustration/sadness you are. So many warm wishes and 🤞 your way!!

    Hopefully by March things will be a little better so it won't be as stressful for you. Goodluck with everything
