My fiancé and I are supposed to get married 10/03/21. Other than pay the security deposit for the venue, we have not done any planning. With covid restrictions constantly changing, I am having second thoughts on a traditional wedding. Our goal is to keep the guest list under 100. If we had to cut it closer to the date, I wouldn't be too upset, I think the smaller the group the better. However, I can't rationalize paying $7,000 just for the venue that can hold up to 200 people to only be allowed to have a handful of guests, stay seated, wear masks, etc. Not to mention I lost my job in September and am just starting a new career so the thought of eloping or have a small event with only parents/siblings isn't sounding too bad.
I'm trying to think of other options that would still be special, but am struggling. I still want that bridal experience and I don't want to regret our decision later in life, but I would hate to put all the effort and money into an event that may not be able to happen.
I would love to hear some opinions on this especially if you are in the same boat as we are!
