Hi all - This is going to sound a little backwards with Covid, but want advice on moving up our wedding. Our wedding is planned for Oct 2021 and we have our venue and photographer booked but that's really it. I considered myself lucky we had planned for 2021 long before covid struck in terms of wedding planning. But now I'm growing concerned about mine and my FH's grandparents' health, especially my 82yo gramma on oxygen who's not doing well right now and is having difficulties breathing (it's not covid) and she was brought to the hospital. I'd be devastated if I lost her before she saw me (her first grandchild) get married. I'm looking for thoughts/advice on doing a small immediate family only ceremony and get married in my grandparents backyard and keeping my original date/venue/etc for next year (hopefully) to celebrate with a commitment ceremony or vow renewal and big reception. Would that be selfish or crazy with everything going on? Would it take away from the "big event" or showers bachelor/ette parties etc that come with a wedding? If we do it, do we announce our marriage? This wasn't part of the original plan but covid has us on edge and there's no guarantee everything will be "normal" and we won't have to postpone next year.
