Planning around covid

So, my SO and I are in the US and planning a wedding in Ireland for the end of March 2022. The original plan is to get married there with my immediate family and a few friends, and then have a reception in June back home to celebrate with our extended family. We picked June because then there is the 8 week turnaround time for our wedding videographer to edit the video so we can show it at the reception for those that couldn’t be there. Though June is not my ideal reception time we didn’t want to make people wait any longer than that for the reception.


However, we are trying to make a contingency plan for if covid would get bad again and we couldn’t get married in Ireland after all. If that’s the case we think we would like to push the whole thing back to September because that’s more what I wanted anyway, and then just get married here in MN.
We’ve been discussing this with my mom and she thinks we should just move the reception to September either way because we like September more than June. I think that seems like a long time to wait if we are able to get married in March, and that guests will find it weird and maybe not even come. Thoughts?
(We aren’t using any caterers or anything, so we don’t have to work around anyone else’s availability)
