Getting married august 29th and our state governor just announced that receptions are prohibited. We can still have a small 30ish person ceremony but are struggling to reconcile with the fact that we cannot celebrate at all afterwards. The current plan is to have everyone dress up nice for the rehearsal dinner and including the dancing and toasts then. I can't help but feel it's waste to have anyone show up for the ceremony or to even wear my dress because it's only going to be for 20 about minutes. Any advice on how to prolong people's stay at the ceremony without it becoming a reception?
