I'm three weeks to my wedding day and then my fiance calls me that his brother is freaking out because we're not postponing our wedding and we planned to have a socially distanced rehearsal dinner. His brother even opened with, you're going to die!
We still plan on getting married Oct. 3, but we mutually decided to cancel our rehearsal dinner. Thankfully, no money was exchanged for this, no contract even, so less hassle.
I've learned to be very flexible as far as scaling down my wedding and I know it upset my fiance to talk with his brother, but it's also upset me too. We can mark him down as a virtual guest, 95% of our guests will watch via youtube anyway but don't make a flipping scene about postponing my wedding three weeks before the event.
My fiance and I have gone HUGE lengths to make our wedding a safe occasion for everyone. We cancelled our wedding reception, we're going to enforce a mask wearing policy, a socially distanced virtual wedding for friends and family who might feel uncomfortable in a large gathering. I even said on the back of the RSVP that I designed myself that we are actively taking steps to make sure our wedding is safe.
I'm even making my bachelorette a virtual karaoke event instead of having it at a restaurant. We're doing all this because we want everyone to be safe, and it's not like the rehearsal dinner was going to be huge. But I'm not going to throw a fit over it, we cancel it, fine.
But there is no way that I am cancelling my wedding or postponing it. The ship has already sailed past the point of no return. I'm insulted and hurt that my future brother-in-law would make that kind of suggestion now, three weeks before my wedding.
