Hi Everyone,
I've struggled with posting this. I'm not looking for a debate or criticism. I'm here to tell you what is happening.
We had our wedding last weekend and about 20% of our guests ended up getting Covid. I started receiving messages from guests 2 days later and was devastated that guests got sick. After what was a magical day, now this.
We had 59 guests and a mostly indoor wedding. Only during the cocktail hour were the windows facing the water open. Having an outdoor wedding in July was not an option, as it's way too hot.
We knew that cases were on the rise and rescheduling was not an option, as a number of guests had booked their travel arrangements weeks and months in advance. We were hoping for the best.
Our venue had a party in the same room earlier in the day until 2 hours prior to our event. The venue had 4 different event rooms and were turning the rooms over from event to event all weekend. There were tons of people in an out of the venue. There were also anywhere between 8-15 different servers at our event alone between cocktail hour, bartenders, and reception. I only noticed a few people wearing masks.
Friends of ours who were married the week prior to us on 7/9 in SC reported about 25% positive cases after their wedding.
I myself did not test positive. I am checking daily on my guests who were affected.
Now that I am hearing cases being rampant, I've come to realize this is the world we live in and everyone knows the risks of attending events.
I have not noticed anyone talking about it on here, but it's happening. I hope your event is germ free.
