With a September 4th reception date and the Pandemic still happening (with a hopeful end in site), I’m unsure what to do! Actually, I’m freaking out! No one in our family and few in our friend’s circle seem interested in helping us with wedding planning. We’ve been thinking to elope and have a laid back reception at our house (we live in a prime wedding destination) in September, thinking this would take it down a few notches and remove SOME of the stress. But tables, portable restrooms, a tent, all that stuff that requires advanced ordering and a deposit, gets me worried. What if things aren’t better and we order all this stuff and can’t get our deposits back?! Are family and friends from out of state going to feel comfortable traveling? Is a buffet style still going to work or does this now involve hiring waiters?! Why is my family, especially mother and sister, not at all interested in anything to do with wedding planing?! My father offered to take me dress shopping, the pandemic has put a hold on that but that’s the extent of family involvement and it hurts that my mom and sister have expressed no interest. With being distanced from friends during all this, everyone so stressed, and everything listed above, I feel so alone in this and I don’t want to plan my big day filled with so much animosity and hurt.
