My Family Can’t Make It

I’m not really looking for advice or anything, i guess i just need an outlet to just say it. My FH and I are eloping next month, around Christmas. Originally, my parents and my brother were supposed to fly out around Christmas, and his brother is going to be In town as well (which is huge beach is brother is in the Army and had been gone for the last 9 months). But now, with COVID getting worse, their state implemented intense travel bans and restrictions, and they can no longer come (we’re in Colorado, they’re in Vermont). I’m devastated at the thought of doing it without them, but we need to be married in order for him to leave for basic training in February, so we can’t delay in the hopes that something changes.
