March weddings that aren't cancelling?

Coming up to less than a month until my wedding and we are forging full speed ahead. We invited 80 people (all family), and so far we have 55 yes RSVPs and 10 declines. It doesn't look like state guidelines will allow our event, but we are having the event at a private residence, so we are just going to go for it. We included the risk of a fine in our wedding budget. Most of my family is supportive of me going ahead, but a few are upset. We asked our guests to stay home if they felt unsafe, and we really hope that people will feel empowered to do that and not feel the need to come if they are worried. Many of my guests already had covid or have the vaccine. We are ready to do this!

Anyone else going through with a March wedding? Anyone who went through with weddings over the past year have any advice?

    Marcia, my fiance and I are getting married March 27th still. We invited 30 family members and friends to our wedding. We decided to do a destination wedding that was close enough to drive to though. We wanted to do something small and intimate with our family. We upset a lot of people but when it comes down to it, it's about us and no one else.

    Charleston wedding March 20! We have about 85 guests coming and the limit is 120. Ceremony outside and indoors they are requiring masks. For the ones who have declined, my future S-I-L is setting up a Zoom for the ceremony. Good luck to all the 2021 brides!

    Hi,

    So we rescheduled to March but could not reschedule again because our venue wanted an extra $2,000 to move it a second time. We were suppose to have 60 to 90 people but now only having 40 people. It's heartbreaking because my flowers girls won't be there and well half the people won't be there and we paid a good amount of money with no money back. It is what it is . the Venue is outside inside so everything is going to be outside so let's hope for the best. My mother is paranoid but at least she is coming. It will be different but trying to make the best out of it .

    March 20th wedding, invited about 50 guests total, we had about ten decline. Total guests attending including me and my fiance is 43. Were doing an indoor wedding in a smaller venue. The guests are mostely just our immediate families and our bridal parties. I kind of used covid as an excuse to not invite people that we arent close with, including family, so we drastically cut down our guest list and i am verrrry happy about it lol

    I’m in MD and our 200 capacity venue told us they could only host 10 per Covid ordinance...we decided to get married on March 27 anyway in a civil union (suit and little white dress off the rack) with only our family and best man/moH in attendance - then we are whisking away to a Virginia winery minimoon! We changed the date and pushed the big ehiye castle wedding to next April 2 2022 for our 1 year anniversary. Saving all special traditions (dress, vows, cake, dance, etc) until our whole list can come and we can hav the day of our dreams) I love all of you who are also just “done with it” - so many tears have been shed again and again - whatever you choose is the right choice for you!! Congratulations on your marriages and your strength during this time Smiley heart
