Sister lives out of state and has Covid- postpone or continue

Is your sister able to watch on video chat? I know that doesn't replace her being there in person, but at least she'd still be able to witness the ceremony, and you wouldn't have to postpone! If you would rather have her there in person and don't want to do the ceremony without her, then I would postpone.

I think it would be extremely difficult to postpone with such short notice.

I don’t think you should postpone... Saturday is just a few days from now.

Postponing with such short notice could be very costly, not all your vendors could have the same date available, etc. especially this close to 2021 with almost every date booked up from so many people postponing. I would have her watch via video chat at this point, its extremely unfortunate but probably still the best option

I probably wouldn't postpone because Saturday is only a few days away. Unless your guest list is super tiny and it would easy to postpone. I'm afraid your best option would be to have your sister participate through live stream.

My husband’s sister could not attend our destination wedding who he is very close with, we did not postpone; the day is about us two, so we went forward and no regrets 🤍🤍🤍

I know you would rather have her there but as others have said, postponing this close could prove to be costly. And as someone who had it in August, postponing to include her could be even more difficult because she is now more susceptible to catching it again and would need quite a few precautions in place to be able to safely attend.

I'm so sorry that you are marrying your love without her there but you can make sure you stream it, incorporate something special for her so she's included in spirit, and try to be strong for the both of you. I'm sure she wants to be there for you as well and hates that she can't make it. Is she hospitalized? Is her case a serious one? IDK if you would be able to enjoy your day if she was in such bad shape but if she is having little to no symptoms or even mild symptoms, hopefully you can still share the special moment although distanced.

Prayers and blessings to you and your sister.

Yes, brother got a broken nose from a fall a day before, could not fly from Manitoba to NH. And sister who was a short car ride away, went into labor a month early, and 4 days post partum, though home, could not come. Life goes on. 2 others, friends, missed too. 170 came. We had a great wedding. I missed one brother's wedding when I could not get leave. My father had an accident, in hospital, missed a different brother's. It happens. Lots of medical people O know could not get weekends off, except during their vacation, and missed every wedding in that time, family or not. Ot is a very romantic notion that everyone will be there for your wedding. So as the day goes by, think of a few things your sister would have found funny, or especially loved, or hated.
And be glad she is still around to hear, when you call the next day. I hope she is on her feet, soon.

Set up a video system so she can watch. Rescheduling last minute will be more headache than it's worth especially with financial penalties.

Ugh, I am so sorry - this was one of my nightmare scenarios. My sister had to travel for my wedding in October and I was so nervous because I couldn't imagine getting married without her.

As others have said, at this point you should probably just proceed and figure out a way to include her -- through a livestream, FaceTime for a few minutes, etc. There's no perfect solution, but she will be there with you in spirit regardless.

I hope she gets better soon!

No ma'am. I cant see my future in laws ever getting tested for that. Perhaps you could zoom your sister in?

All my vendors would be willing to postpone at a later date. I would just have to find a date that works for all of them and I wouldn’t lose out on any money. My sister is feeling ok. She said she’s congested and achy and she started feeling symptoms on Saturday.

But how many other guests have set aside this day?

I would continue and have her watch it livestream maybe? If it was further out I would say postpone but I feel like it may be too late
