We were supposed to get married last weekend, but postponed to April. We live in the Northeast, and our wedding is in the South. My family all lives here.
Currently there is a mask mandate in the town where we're getting married and a travel/quarantine restriction for people coming into our state...where my extended family is (there is a negative-test alternative, but that's a big ask for people). I didn't think the mask mandate applied to outdoor activities, but the venue person was vague on that when I asked her yesterday.
I know it's way too early to be able to tell what things will be like in April, but I feel so discouraged, more than I have at any point since we postponed. We are going to wait until three months away, like we did the first time, but it's so hard to plan for anything. And what happens if the travel restriction is still in place...do I just get married without any of my extended family? There aren't any gathering limits, so technically we could do it. I don't know how our vendors would respond to postponing again.
My grandmother also passed away about a month and a half ago (not covid, she was just old and had old people health problems) and I've been struggling with that too.
Don't really have a question....just wanted to complain I guess.
