We were supposed to get married 05/30/20 (big ceremony, guest list, all the jazz). With COVID, we did a small immediate family ceremony instead.
Anyway. We’ve rescheduled at our original venue with the original guest list for 07/12/21. I’m so excited to see and celebrate with all of our friends and extended family. I’m pretty set in not having a “fake” ceremony - we’re already married, and I don’t want to “redo” my wedding, which while not what I expected, was still a special and joyful day. (Vow renewal also feels like it would be along those same lines with just a different name). So, planning to skip the ceremony and have the rest of the wedding/reception that we were originally planning.
However, I’m struggling with what to do with our wedding party (BM & GM, 12 total). I want to acknowledge and celebrate them & our relationships with our closest friends somehow, but not sure how to do that if there’s not a ceremony where they’re going to get to stand up at the front with us. I’m thinking we’ll still have them wear their bridesmaid dresses/ matching suits (they had already purchased when we cancelled) and take photos, but would love to do more.
Any creative ideas?
