We have made the really tough decision to postpone our big March wedding. The covid numbers are looking worse and our all-indoor wedding with 120+ people creates a high risk environment. Fortunately our venue and most of our vendors are willing to work with us to reschedule, although we will have to reschedule for a weekday.
Anyway, we are trying to look on the bright side that now we will have two weddings! We are going to do a smaller, local event on our original date, followed by a bigger event most likely on our one year anniversary. I have some random questions floating around for anyone in the same situation or anyone else who has ideas/input!
-is it weird to have ring bearers for the bigger event since we will already be married? I’m thinking we could have them do rings for our small ceremony and then some other job for the bigger one.
-similar question regarding being walked down the aisle. I was planning to have both parents walk me but that feels a little odd if I've been married for a year already. I'm thinking to have them walk me the first time, and walk alone the second time?
-when do people buy/send gifts? Obviously it’s their choice in the end, but I expect people are going to ask me this question.
-should we have videographers for both? I’m leaning toward photo only for the smaller ceremony to cut costs (we already contracted a big photo/vid package that will go to our new date)
-are you doing anything creative/fun to make your postponed wedding feel special or tie it to your first wedding?
