So stressed for May Wedding cause of covid

Crystal, on January 10, 2021 at 10:37 AM Posted in Planning 0 7
Im stressed out and have even cried a couple times. I’ve also have lost sleep over it. Our wedding is May 29th. We’ve been planning since December 2019.
We’ve been together for 8 yrs. have two kids and a home and honestly a great life we’ve been building together. All we are missing is our marriage lol

I don’t know if to continue, but we’d have to cut our guest list to 120, which I can deal with the cut. But I’m afraid a lot of people won’t show. Also my grandmother said she won’t go because of the virus, i tried my best to hold my tears back. I totally understand that cause I am a respiratory therapist and have seen way too many people die over the last year due to COVID. But I’m sorry I still want my wedding and to wear my dream dress and celebrate with our families.
Has anyone just canceled and instead eloped at a destination? I REFUSED TO GO TO A COURHOUSE, that’s just me I have never wanted that.
What are you ladies doing??

    Does grandma live close? Could you visit her once you’re all dressed and ready before the ceremony, or even after, and she can watch on zoom/live stream?

    Hi Crystal! I’m so sorry you are so stressed. I’ve been there myself and my heart goes out to you!! Although my grandmother was not able to attend , I’m looking forward to watching my wedding video with her ❤️ I sent her lots of prints from the wedding as well just for her. For my husband’s grandparents, they sat with my husband’s dad and stepmom only (they see each often and are in each other’s bubble). They sat for the ceremony in their own row. Not sure if your grandmother is eligible for a vaccine or would want to? A few guests opted just to attend the ceremony. Special accommodations such as these can be made for grandparents to keep them safe.


    For us, we went to great lengths to make it as safe as possible. I communicated these to guests as, understandably, there are those who are hosting events with no precautions and I wanted to ensure our guests knew our event was not one of those.
    Tips that we did to put guests minds to ease: 1. Sat guests with households, 2. No receiving line, 3. Bartenders were behind plexiglass, 4. Wristbands to identify those guests should not kiss, hug or come within 6ft., 5. Reassuring guests we are not offended in any way of them wearing masks and we expect mask wearing
    Hope this helps ❤️❤️❤️ Hang in there girlie!!

    I feel you girl! My fiancé & I have a very long & crazy history. Been through so much both as a couple & individually. We’re definitely NOT rescheduling & will be getting married on 4/3/21. He’s a firefighter/medic & I work at a hospital so we were able to get the first round of the vaccine. We understand that some won’t attend due to COVID & respect their decision. Our venue has reduced their max capacity from 250 to 160 to be in compliance. They put only 10
    to a table & the tables are 6 feet apart. We will have plenty of masks & hand sanitizers available. Our guest list is around 90 so probably only 80 will be there which is around 50% of the max capacity.

    I hate to say this but I’m glad that I’m not the only one going through this. I plan to order mask and sanitizer as well to provide for our guest. I guess we will move along with the planning and just hope for the best outcome. I’m just ready to get it over with that’s why I don’t want to postpone or make a plan B cause I don’t want to spend more months stressing

    Thank you so much, I also though about the same idea of seating grandparents alone, in their own row for the ceremony if that’s something they feel comfortable with. And speaking at our wedding asking guest to sit only with household members.


    Thank you so much for the tips, it definitely makes me feel better that it’s been done before and y’all made it happen 🙂

    I do have a Plan B set- that plan is adjusting the guest list. Other than that, we’re getting married on our date no matter what
